Dorian sat quietly for a moment and then said, “We all straddle the abyss, Penny. If you never look down, how will you ever know who you are or what you will become? Your dad could never be ashamed of you, because falling in that abyss is part of the process of growing up. Karen Gammons
About This Quote

The story of Dorian Gray is one of great learning. The ways in which Dorian treats himself are truly self-destructive.
