Then the curtain rises, and you will see the girl to whom I am going to give all my life, to whom I have given everything that is good in me.
– Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter 7. Dorian is speaking to Basil about the immiment appearance of Sibyl Vane on stage. It is interesting that wealthy young socialite Dorian, whom Lord Henry is trying to corrupt, says that he has given all that is good in him to Sibyl. For she represents purity and goodness, just as Henry represents the absense of these.
