Quote: The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat."

This is easily one of my favourite books, the use of language and the conversations the protagonists have are so rich and every sentence could be quotable.

Lord Henry, who I've quoted above is daring in his views on Life, Love, Art, Music, Knowledge, Beauty and the way he portrays it is equally as enthralling.  

His views to some may be seen as ideas to merely shock and bewilder, however there could be some method to the madness if you can look past this characters duplicitous nature.
