"Human life--that appeared to him the one thing worth investigating....There were poisons so subtle that to know their properties one had to sicken of them. There were maladies so strange that one had to pass through them if one sought to understand their nature. And, yet what a great reward one received! How wonderful the whole world became to one! To note the curious hard logic of passion, and the emotional couloured life of the intellect-- to observe where they met, and where they separated, at what point they were in unison, and at what point they were at discord--there was a delight in that. What matter what the cost was? One could never pay too high a price for any sensation"
-Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
"He loves me."
"He wants to enslave you."
"I shudder at the thought of being free"
