Preface for The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde.
We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
I think you are wrong, Basil, but I won’t argue with you. It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.

Hurd Hatfield and Angela Lansbury in Albert Lewin’s 1945 film adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

Reader, meet author
Philosophy student, library slave, Irish-Australian vegetarian asexual and probably a walking cliché. Bunburyist; omphaloskeptic; existentialist; back bedroom casualty. Interested in beat poetry, Greco-Roman mythology, Twin Peaks and the 1966 Batman series. Obsessed with Morrissey and Johnny Marr to the point of madness. I can't dance.
Wide to receive...
