“Oh, but you and all your vibrant youth / How could anything bad ever happen to you? You make a fool of death with your beauty—”

— Florence + the Machine, from ‘Hunger’

“But you, Dorian, with your pure, bright, innocent face, and your marvellous untroubled youth—I can’t believe anything against you.”

— Oscar Wilde, excerpt from the uncensored manuscript of The Picture of Dorian Gray
