“What sort of noise does a balloon make, adrift? None. No, not quite. It noises itself, it soughs, like the wind billowing your curtains all white as breaths of foam. Or it makes a sound like the stars turning over in your sleep. Or it announces itself like moonrise and moonset. That last is best: like the moon sailing the universal deeps, so rides a balloon.”
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes

“every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of 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 coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their characters, and my enemies for their brains.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Your talk of sniffing riders with invisible noses has unsettled me.”
