RE: The Importance of Being Wild: A Short History of Wild Things

in #life7 years ago

"'As Wilde wrote in the novel, “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.” And in another oft-quoted gem: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.'"

Love this quote.

I studied Dorian Gray in junior college. You know what always intrigued me? The book he read, the book that totally corrupted him. I wonder how evil it was.
