the last book I ever read (Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, excerpt five)

from The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde:

“Never marry a woman with straw-coloured hair, Dorian,” he said after a few puffs.

“Why, Harry?”

“Because they are so sentimental.”

“But I like sentimental people.”

“Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed.”
