The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde

"To be good is to be in harmony with one's self. Discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others. (...) No civilised man ever regrets a pleasure, and no uncivilised man ever knows what a pleasure is."

"I know what pleasure is. Is to adore someone."

"That is certainly better than being adored. They (women) worship us, and are always bothering us to do something for them."

"I should have said that whatever they ask for they had first given to us. They crete Love in our natures. They have a right to demand it back."
