― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”

“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.”
― Rudyard Kipling

“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
