The Picture of Dorian Gray


"The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating."

The Picture of Dorian Gray, p. 60
By Oscar Wilde
Published 1891
