fully and completely,
give form to every feeling,
expression to every thought,
reality to every dream.
Every impulse that we suppress
broods in the mind and poisons us.
There's only one way to get rid
of a temptation and that's to yield to it.
Resist it and the soul grows sick
with longing for the things
it has forbidden to itself.
There is nothing that can cure the soul
but the senses.
Just as there is nothing that can cure
the senses but the soul.
Turn your head a little more
to the left, Dorian.
The gods have been
good to you, Mr. Gray.
Why do you say that?
Because you have
the most marvelous youth,
and youth is the one thing
worth having.
I don't feel that,
Lord Henry.
No, you don't feel it now.
But some day you'll feel it terribly.
What the gods give,
they quickly take away.
Time is jealous of you, Mr. Gray.
Don't squander the gold of your days.
Live. Let nothing be lost upon you.
Be afraid of nothing.
There is such a little time
that your youth will last,
and you can never get it back.
As we grow older,
our memories are haunted
by the exquisite temptations
we hadn't the courage to yield to.
The world is yours for a season.
It would be tragic if you realized too late,
as so many others do,
that there is only one thing in the world
worth having, and that is youth.
Dorian Gray had never heard
the praise of folly so eloquently expressed.
The creed of pleasure
soared into a philosophy of life,
he were under a spell.
He felt afraid of Lord Henry's ideas
and ashamed of himself for being afraid.
It was as if he were learning
to know himself for the first time,
as if a stranger had revealed
his own most secret thoughts to him.
For the first time he became
conscious of his youth,
and conscious of the fact that one day
he would lose it.
My visit to you hasn't been wasted, Basil.
I've found a rare and
beautiful butterfly, Euvanesse antiope.
It's very unusual in England.
Don't you think it's beautiful, Mr. Gray?
-Yes, Lord Henry, very beautiful.
-You may sit down now, Dorian.
I'm glad you met Lord Henry, after all.
-Are you glad, Mr. Gray?
-I'm glad now.
-I wonder if I shall always be glad.
-Always?
That's a dreadful word.
It makes me shudder to hear it.
Women are so fond of using it.
by trying to make it last forever.
The only difference between a caprice
and a life-long passion is that
the caprice lasts a little longer.
But I believe our hostess has appeared.
You're just in time, darling,
to witness my signature
to Dorian's painting.
Could I sign it, too?
Well, I think you're entitled to.
Since you haven't missed a sitting.
