But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.
Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face.”
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter 1

You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
— Dorian Gray

The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
