"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable. Youth! There is nothing like it."

Frigg'n dammit. I hate that I still like Henry despite him being such an utter bastard.

"They have had my own divorce-case and Alan Campbell’s suicide"

NOOOOOOO!!!! Basil! Now Alan? Will nothing tear down this walking deathtrap called Dorian?

"“What do you mean? Wasn’t he one of your men?”

“No, sir. Never saw him before. Seems like a sailor, sir.”"

Noooo. It's Vane. Vane is dead. DAMN IT!!! Is Dorian going to get away with everything?! If Oscar Wilde does this to me I will hate him forever.

BASIL!!! NOOOOO! 😭

"monstrous or mad: Filippo, Duke of Milan, who slew his wife and painted her lips with a scarlet poison that her lover might suck death from the dead thing he fondled"
Holy f***. O_O What is this yellow book? I forget what this started being about. This book sounds so well- monstrously mad. As horrified as I am, I kind of want to read it....

" An hour later he was at the opera, and Lord Henry was leaning over his chair."
Typical man. Lost his resolve in the matter of seconds. This book definitely has misogynistic vibes, but my gosh is it making me hate men!

"Surely his wish had not been fulfilled? Such things were impossible. It seemed monstrous even to think of them."
Which is why I don't know what the hell to make of this novel!! Is it horror? Is this black magic? Cause Lord Henry is terrifying!! Also, is it the fujoshi in me or are all the guys gay for each other?

Ok. Harry is starting to scare me a little. What is happening???
