Some of my favorite quotes

'There seemed to him to be something tragic in a friendship so coloured by romance.' - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

'Domine, non sum dignus' - Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

'Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods and chronicle their return. ... For us there is only one season, the season of sorrow.' - Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

'There is nothing that stirs in the whole world of thought to which sorrow does not vibrate in terrible and exquisite pulsation. ... It is a wound that bleeds when any hand but that of love touches it, and even then must bleed again though not in pain.' - Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

'I am satisfied: miserable wretch! You have determined to live, and I am satisfied.' - Mary Shelly, Frankenstein

'We learn of great things by little experiences. The history of the ages is but an infinite repetition of the history of hours. The record of a soul is but a multiple of the story of a moment.' Bram Stoker, The Jewel of Seven Stars
