I find him in the curves of certain lines, in the loveliness and subtleties of certain colours.

The longer I live, Dorian, the more keenly I feel that whatever was good enough for our fathers is not good enough for us. In art, as in politics, les grand-pères ont toujours tort.

When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.

Love is easily killed.

Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself.
