[Duchess]
“Ah! Lord Henry, I wish you would tell me how to become young again.”
[Lord Henry]
“Can you remember any great error that you committed in your early days, Duchess?”
[Duchess]
“A great many, I fear.”
[Lord Henry]
“Then commit them over again,”
“To get back one’s youth, one has merely to repeat one’s follies."

"what a delightful theory!"
[Sir Thomas]
"A dangerous theory,"
"That is one of the great secrets of life. Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense,"
"and discover when it's too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistake"
