Quotes
-
Lord Henry Wotton : What are you?
Dorian Gray : I am what you made me! I lived the life that you preached but never dared practice. I am everything that you were too afraid to be.
-
Dorian Gray : [On a girl he saw, who just departed with a man] That was probably her husband.
Lord Henry Wotton : Yes, very sensible. People die of common sense, Dorian, one lost moment at a time. Life is a moment. There is no hereafter. So make it burn always with the hardest flame.
-
Emily Wotton : I hope I'm not interrupting your reminiscence?
Lord Henry Wotton : One charm of the past, is that it's the past.
Emily Wotton : Hmm... I hope you're not also a dreary old cynic?
Dorian Gray : What is there to believe in?
Emily Wotton : Our developments.
Dorian Gray : All I see is decay.
Emily Wotton : For the religion!
Dorian Gray : Fashionable substitute for belief.
Emily Wotton : Art?
Dorian Gray : A malady.
Emily Wotton : Love?
Dorian Gray : An illusion.
Lord Henry Wotton : Bravo!
Emily Wotton : Well... you both cut the world to pieces, don't you? Thank you for the cigarette!
Dorian Gray : Unusual woman.
Lord Henry Wotton : She ought to be... she's my daughter.
-
Dorian Gray : [trying to decline women and drink at a brothel] Well, perhaps I have a stronger conscience.
Lord Henry Wotton : [dismissively] 'Conscience.' It's just a polite word for 'cowardice.' No civilized man regrets a pleasure.
-
Emily Wotton : Oblige me, Mr. Gray.
Dorian Gray : Have you been pursuing this delightful hobby for long?
Emily Wotton : No, it's a gift from my father. In return he made me promise that I wouldn't chain myself to any more railings.
[pause]
Emily Wotton : For suffrage, Mr. Gray. Well, don't you think that woman should be given the vote?
Dorian Gray : I don't believe a woman should be given anything she can't wear in the evening.
Emily Wotton : Ha, what a loss to the front you are. Think of all those Germans that you could bayonet with your epigrams.
Dorian Gray : I do apologize if I offend.
Emily Wotton : Oh no, you'll have to do rather better to offend me.
Dorian Gray : Then I humbly vow to re-double my efforts.
-
Lucius : I have the key to your heart.
Dorian Gray : [aggressively] Don't touch that ever!
-
Lord Henry Wotton : I must ask you though, what is your secret?
Dorian Gray : If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
