Thank you for reading and I will catch up with Goodreads very soon :) Have a nice weekend!

A couple of months ago, I published a coffee-table book/art book edited by Clare Diston, Celine Frohn and myself :) That book is “The Picture of Dorian Gray in Quotes and Nudes” – with 60+ quotes from Oscar Wilde’s original work + 20 nude painting studies made by me. We got a license from CMG Worldwide for limited copies: only 300! There will be no reprint or second edition!

I share with you a selection of 15 OSCAR WILDE quotes from our book + 5 art nude studies. Enjoy!

There is only one thing in this world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. ~ Lord Henry

¤ But beauty, real beauty, ends where intellectual expression begins. ~ Lord Henry


¤ Every portrait that is painted with feeling, is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter, it is rather the painter who, on the colored canvas, reveals himself. ~ Basil Hallward



¤ Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies. ~ Lord Henry


¤ I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters and, and my enemies for their good intellects. ~ Lord Henry


¤ I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in this world. ~ Lord Henry


¤ Nowadays, people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. ~ Lord Henry



¤ He was trying to gather up the scarlet threads of his life, to weave them into a pattern; to find his way through the sanguine labyrinth of passion through which he was wondering. ~ Narrator


¤ We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and that thinks too much to be beautiful. ~ Lord Henry


¤ He grew more and more enamoured of his own beauty, more and more interested in the corruption of his own soul. ~ Narrator


¤ Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man’s face. It cannot be concealed. ~ Basil Hallward



¤ Nobody ever commits a crime without doing something stupid. ~ Alan Campbell


¤ To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, wake up early and be respectable. ~ Lord Henry


¤ I have never searched for happiness. Who wants happiness? I have searched for pleasure. ~ Dorian Gray

¤ I wish I could love, but I seem to have lost the passion and forgot the desire. ~ Dorian Gray
