"You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid. My God! how mad I was to love you! What a fool I have been! You are nothing to me now. I will never see you again.

I will never think of you. I will never mention your name. You don't know what you were to me, once. Why, once . . . Oh, I can't bear to think of it! I wish I had never laid eyes upon you!

You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love, if you say it mars your art! Without your art, you are nothing."

Dorian Gray to Sibyl Vane, The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is the idea only. An idea at the back of it; not a sentimental pretense but an idea; and an unselfish belief in the idea-something you can set up, and bow down before, and offer a sacrifice to. . . .
