Lemony Snicket
“I feel as if my whole life has been nothing but a dismal play, presented just for someone else's amusement, and that the playwright who invented my cruel twist of fate is somewhere far above me, laughing and laughing at his creation.”
Lemony Snicket, The Hostile Hospital

Richard Ellmann
“we are all malefactors, all in need of forgiveness.”
Richard Ellmann, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Writings

Oscar Wilde
“And never a human voice comes near
To speak a gentle word:
And the eye that watches through the door
Is pitiless and hard:
And by all forgot, we rot and rot,
With soul and body marred.”
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Poems

Oscar Wilde
“You will soon be going about like the converted, and the revivalist, warning people against all the sins of which you have grown tired.”
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
“So never will wine-red rose or white
Petal by petal, fall
On that stretch of mud and sand that lies
By the hideous-prison-wall,
To tell the men who tramp the yard
That God's Son died for all.”
Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Poems
