Quote context

[...]

- When a man says he's exhausted life, you may be sure that life has exhausted him.

- But in your case, the strange impulse to be good is merely the effect of your approaching marriage. It will wear off in time.

- Do you mind pulling down that blind?

- Not at all.

- The truth is I want to be better. I'm determined to be better.

- At least it will be a novel sensation, and needn't become a habit.

- Marriage itself is merely a habit, a very bad habit. I trust it won't make you a hopelessly reformed character.

- Harry, I've been away so long. What are people talking about in London?

- They were talking about Basil's disappearance. But now they are completely taken up with Allen Campbell's suicide.

- What do you think has happened to Basil? I haven't the slightest idea. I suppose in a fortnight or so, we shall be told that he's been seen in San Francisco.

- It's an odd thing, but everyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world.

- He was a fine painter. I'm certain of that.

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.
