Quote context

[...]

- Nothing could alter that. It was of the future that he must think.

- He had spared Gladys.

- Would there be any sign of his one good deed in the portrait?

- It was there, almost imperceptible, but surely it was there in the eyes, struggling through the horror and the loathsomeness.

- There was hope for him, then.

- He would go away, leave England forever, live obscurely in a distant country, find peace in a life of humility and self-denial.

- He would expel every sign of evil from the painted face. He would watch the hideousness fade and change.

- But the painting would always be there to tempt his weakness. Better to destroy it to grow old inevitably as all men grow old.

- If he fell into evil ways, to be punished as all men are punished.

- Better if each sin of his life were to bring its sure, swift penalty.

- The knife that had killed Basil Hallward would kill his portrait also and free him at a stroke from the evil enchantment of the past.

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.

Always? That's a dreadful word. It makes me shudder to hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.

I am analysing women at present. The subject is less difficult than I was led to believe.
