Quote context

[...]

- There's only one way to get rid of a temptation and that's to yield to it. Resist it and the soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.

- There is nothing that can cure the soul but the senses. Just as there is nothing that can cure the senses but the soul.

- Turn your head a little more to the left, Dorian.

- The gods have been good to you, Mr. Gray.

- Why do you say that?

- Because you have the most marvellous youth, and youth is the one thing worth having.

- I don't feel that, Lord Henry.

- No, you don't feel it now, but some day you'll feel it terribly.

- What the gods give, they quickly take away.

- Time is jealous of you, Mr. Gray. Don't squander the gold of your days. Live. Let nothing be lost upon you. Be afraid of nothing. There is such a little time that your youth will last and you can never get it back.

- As we grow older, our memories are haunted by the exquisite temptations we hadn't the courage to yield to.

- The world is yours for a season. It would be tragic if you realized too late as so many others do that there is only one thing in the world worth having, and that is youth.

- Dorian Gray had never heard the praise of folly so eloquently expressed.
