Quote context

[...]

- You should look upon this tragedy as an episode in the wonderful spectacle of life.

- What is it that has really happened? Someone has killed herself for love of you. I wish that I'd had such an experience.

- The women who have admired me, and there have been some, have insisted on living on long after I have ceased to care for them or they to care for me. They've become stout and tedious. And when I meet them, they go in at once for reminiscences.

- That awful memory of woman. Drink this, it'll make you feel better.

- I found myself sitting next to such a woman the other night at diner.

- She had once proposed to sacrifice the whole world for me. That's always a dreadful moment. Fills one with the terror of eternity.

- It happened years ago, but she insisted on dragging the whole thing out again. She assured me that I'd spoiled her life. However, she ate an enormous dinner.

- Not one of the women I've known would have done for me what Sibyl Vane did for you.

- But you haven't told me yet if you will dine with me tonight.

- I don't feel up to it, Harry.

- Then perhaps you'll join me later at the opera. My sister's box number is 27. It's on the Grand Tier. You'll see her name on the door. I hope to see you before half past 9. I don't want you to miss de Reszke in the duet.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Hallward. Mr. Gray isn't in. He's gone to the opera.

- To the opera?

- Yes, sir. Is there any message, sir?

- No. No, I'll come by in the morning.

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.

You're going away tonight. The ship will take you far away over the dark waters. Don't let me remember you angry and troubled.

Was insincerity such a terrible thing? Dorian thought not. It was merely a method by which we could multiply our personalities.
