Quotation from: The Picture of Dorian Gray

Written by: Oscar Wilde


Dorian's arms fell to his side. Paralysed with terror, he did not
know what to do. Suddenly a wild hope flashed across his brain.
"Stop," he cried. "How long ago is it since your sister died?
Quick, tell me!"


"Eighteen years," said the man. "Why do you ask me?
What do years matter?"


"Eighteen years," laughed Dorian Gray, with a touch of triumph in his voice.
"Eighteen years! Set me under the lamp and look at my face!"
