Oscar Wilde Quotes

Harry," Said Basil Hallward, Looking Him Straight In The Face, "every Portrait That Is Painted With Feeling Is A Portrait Of The Artist, Not Of The Sitter. The Sitter Is Merely The Accident, The Occasion. It Is Not He Who Is Revealed By The Painter; It Is Rather The Painter Who, On The Coloured Canvas, Reveals Himself. The Reason I Will Not Exhibit This Picture Is That I Am Afraid That I Have Shown In It The Secret Of My Own Soul.
