Quote context

[...]

- He was to have eternal youth while the portrait bore the burden of his shame.

- He was caught in an evil destiny.

- As the years passed, the miracle of Dorian's changeless youth caused wonder, but rarely suspicion.

- Even those who had heard the most evil things against him, the strange rumours about his mode of life, which spread through London and became the chatter of the clubs, could not believe anything to his dishonour when they saw him.

- He had always the look of one who had kept himself unspotted from the world.

- But while he fascinated many, there were not a few who distrusted him.

- Curious stories were current about him. It was rumoured that he had been seen in a low den in the distant parts of Whitechapel.

- His extraordinary absences became notorious and when he reappeared again in society, men would whisper to each other in corners, or pass him with a sneer, or look at him with cold, searching eyes.

- Some of those who had been most intimate with him appeared after a time to shun him.

- Women who, for his sake, had set convention at defiance were seen to grow pale if Dorian Gray entered the room.

- He could not endure to be long out of England or to be separated from the picture, it was such a part of his life. He was afraid that during his absence someone might gain access to the room where it was hidden.

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.
