i’m fascinated by Lord Henry as a character. he also sometimes makes me laugh

“‘Just turn your head a little more to the right, Dorian, like a good boy,’ said the painter, deep in his work, and conscious only that a look had come into the lad’s face that he had never seen there before.” WHAATTT i was not expecting that

“‘Those who are faithful only know the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies.’ And Lord Henry struck a light on a dainty silver case, and began to smoke a cigarette with a self-conscious and satisfied air, as if he had summed up the world in a phrase.” why was that kinda banger and why did it also make me laugh a lil

“I have put into it some expression of all this curious artistic idolatry, of which, of course, I have never cared to speak to him. He knows nothing about it. He shall never know anything about it. But the world might guess it; and I will not bare my soul to their shallow, prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope. There is too much of myself in the thing, Harry — too much of myself!”

i also really enjoy the scenery so far

i have a great feeling i’ll see myself in basil by the end of this book. i already really like him so far lol he’s so me
