“Why can't these American women stay in their own country? They are always telling us that it is the paradise for women.'
'It is. That is the reason why, like Eve, they are so excessively anxious to get out of it.”
― The Picture of Dorian Gray

“What nonsense people talk about happy marriages!" exclaimed Lord Henry. "A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.”

“Life has everything in store for you, Dorian. There is nothing that you, with your extraordinary good looks, will not be able to do."
"But suppose, Harry, I became haggard, and old, and wrinkled? What then?"
"Ah, then," said Lord Henry, rising to go, "then, my dear Dorian, you would have to fight for your victories. As it is, they are brought to you. No, you must keep your good looks. We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful. We cannot spare you." (8.19)”
― The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Yalnızca sığ kişiler bir duygudan kurtulmak için yılların geçmesini beklerler. Kendinin efendisi olan bir insan, nasıl kolayca bir zevk icat edebilirse, acısını da aynı kolaylıkla sona erdirebilir.”

“İyi etki diye bir şey yoktur, Mr. Gray. Tüm etkiler ahlaka aykırıdır. Evet, bilim açısından da ahlaka aykırıdır. Neden mi? Çünkü etki altında kalan kişi, kendi düşüncelerini kullanmaz, kendi tutkularının peşine takılmaz olur. Yaşamın amacı benliğin geliştirilmesidir. Kişinin kendi özünü bütünüyle gerçekleştirmesidir. Bunun için buradayız. Bir insan, hayatını tam ve bütün olarak yaşamalıdır. Her duygusuna biçim vermeli, her düşüncesini ifade etmeli ve her rüyasını gerçekleştirmelidir. Bizi çeken şeylerden kurtulmanın tek bir yolu vardır ve bu da onlara teslim olmaktır. Direnirsek, ruhumuz kendine yasakladığı şeylerin özlemiyle hastalanır. Bastırdığımız her dürtü zihnimizde kuluçkaya yatar ve bizi zehirler. Ruhu yalnızca duygular iyileştirebilir, aynı duyguları da yalnızca ruhun iyileştirebileceği gibi.”

“En cuanto a ser envenenado por un libro, no existe semejante cosa. (...)Los libros que el mundo llama inmorales son libros que muestran al mundo su propia vergüenza.”

“Romantizmi ayakta tutan şey tekrardır; tekrar bir iştahı sanata dönüştürür. Üstelik insanın her aşkı tek aşkıdır. Hedeflerin değişmesi tutkunun biricikliğini zedelemez ki! Sadece yoğunlaştırmaya yarar. Hayatta taş çatlasa bir tek yüce deneyim geçebilir başımızdan; yaşamın sırrı da bu deneyimi olabildiğince çoğaltabilmektir.”

“Güzellik de dehanın bir biçimidir, hatta dehadan daha yücedir çünkü açıklama gerektirmez. Dünyanın en yüce olaylarından biridir güzellik, gün ışığı gibi, ilkyaz gibi, ay dediğimiz o gümüş kabuğun karanlık sulara yansıması gibi. Bunların nedeni sorgulanamaz. Egemenlik onun ilahi hakkıdır. Ona sahip olanlara prenslik bağışlar.”
