Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


"I have got through all that," said Dorian, shaking his head and smiling.
"I am perfectly happy now. I know what conscience is, to begin with.
It is not what you told me it was. It is the divinest thing in us.
Don't sneer at it, Harry, any more--at least not before me. I want to
be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous."


"A very charming artistic basis for ethics, Dorian! I congratulate you
on it. But how are you going to begin?"
