“I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I daresay, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into one's life.” — Basil Hallward

“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

Words I highlighted in this book are still unfadeable, must reread though.

Halo, the amount of stuff I underlined, too, is ridiculous. It's slowing my pace.
I know exactly what you're going through, Mhmd. Eventually I stopped highlighting, and simply absorbed the impeccable beauty of the entire book.
Halo, I think that eventually I will resolve to do the same.
