“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic. World's had to be in travail, that the meanest flower might blow...”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
