The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

carlyq05's review against another edition

4.0

“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them”

“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame”

too many things are underlined
