He is…
He is all my art to me now (Basil to Lord Henry about Dorian, Chapter 1)
It was simply…
It was simply bad art. She was a complete failure. (Dorian about Sibyl, Chapter 6)
But here…
But here was a visible symbol of the degradation of sin. (Dorian about his portrait, Chapter 8)
The portrait…
The portrait that Basil Hallward had painted of him would be a guide to him through life, would be to him what holiness is to some, and conscience to others, and the fear of God to us all.
And, certainly, to him life itself…
And, certainly, to him life itself was the first, the greatest of the arts, and for it all the other arts seemed to be but a preparation (Dorian, Chapter 11)
Art has no influence…
Art has no influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile. (Chapter 19, Lord Henry to Dorian)
