LOVEEE THIS BOOK SM

"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. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul." –Basil Hallward

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK!!!

i read this book while listen to So Long, London, and now i can't stop crying

I'm super confused rn. all the characters in this book are suspicious

it's so confusing yet so intense. i could not put it down (really)

it's so boring yet so intense that i could not put it down (*confusing)

I had more pride than that...

... A wave of heat, alcohol, and noise slammed into me the minute I stepped into Verve"
