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.
