Nicioadata nu aprob sau dezaprob un lucru, e o atitudine absurda fata de viata. Nu suntem trimisi in lume ca sa ne exibitionam prejudecatile morale" - Dorian Gray

You come down here to console me. That is charming of you. You find me consoled, and you are furious. How like a sympathetic person!

The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly—that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self. Of course, they are charitable. They feed the hungry and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked.

Or that passion to act a part that sometimes makes us do things finer than we are ourselves?

Moral grounds are always the last refuge of people who have no sense of beauty.

Morality does not help me. I am a born antinomian...I see that there is nothing wrong in what one does. I see that there is something wrong in what one becomes.

A man who moralizes is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralizes is invariably plain.
