Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


"You are glad you have met me, Mr. Gray," said Lord Henry,
looking at him.


"Yes, I am glad now. I wonder shall I always be glad?"


"Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it.
Women are so fond of using it. They spoil every romance by trying to make
it last for ever. It is a meaningless word, too. The only difference
between a caprice and a lifelong passion is that the caprice lasts a
little longer."
