Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


"But, surely, if one lives merely for one's self, Harry, one pays
a terrible price for doing so?" suggested the painter.


"Yes, we are overcharged for everything nowadays. I should
fancy that the real tragedy of the poor is that they can afford
nothing but self-denial. Beautiful sins, like beautiful things,
are the privilege of the rich."


"One has to pay in other ways but money."
