"If it were only the other way! If it were I who was to be always young and the picture that was to grow old! For that -- for that -- I would give everything!"
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
"... every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the colored canvas, reveals himself."
"I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world."
All from The Picture of Dorian Gray
