- Not look at my own work? You're not serious. Why shouldn't I look at it?

- I don't offer any explanation and you're not to ask for any, but if you try to look at that picture, on my word of honour, I will never speak to you again.

- What on earth is the matter with you?

- I'm planning to exhibit it next month. That's why I wanted to look at it.

Top rated lines from this movie

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.
If only the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now. For that I would give everything. Yes, there's nothing in the whole world I would not give. I would give my soul for that.
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.
I always choose my friends for their good looks and my enemies for their good intellects. A man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies.
Why was he unhappy? -Perhaps because he felt his youth slipping away from him.
