Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- You know, the best thing that Basil ever did was that wonderful portrait of you. I remember you told me it was stolen or destroyed or something.

- What is your secret? You don't look a day older than you did when that portrait was painted.

- Perhaps I'll tell you some day.

- To get back my youth, I'd do anything in the world except get up early, take exercise or be respectable.

- I sometimes think I'd give anything if I could change and grow old like other people.

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.
