Quote context

[...]

- I never take off my hat except when I'm out of doors.

- She'll be as lovely as your sister was, Basil.

- But I'm afraid Dorian has stolen her heart from me too.

- I must congratulate you, Basil.

- Look at yourself, Mr. Gray.

- As I grow old, this picture will remain always young. If it were only the other way. If it were I who was always to be young and the picture that was to grow old.

- You would hardly care for such an arrangement, Basil. It would be hard lines on your work.

- I should object strongly.

- You oughtn't to express such a wish in the presence of that cat, Dorian. It's one of the 73 great gods of Egypt and is quite capable of granting your wish.

- Lord Henry is right. I know now that when one loses one's youth, one loses everything.

- Perhaps a cup of tea will bring you around. You'll have some, too, won't you, Harry? Or do you object to such simple pleasures?

- I adore simple pleasures. They're the last refuge of the complex.

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.

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.

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.

As I grow old, this picture will remain always young. If it were only the other way. If it were I who was always to be young and the picture that was to grow old.

What did the music mean to you? -I don't know. It is full of emotion. But it's not happy. -No, it's not happy.
