Oscar Wilde Quotes
There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely the record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstand, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions.

It seemed to him that in some mysterious way their lives had been his own.
