A: The soul wanders in the dark, until it finds love. And so, wherever our love goes, there we find our soul. Q: It always happens? A: If we're lucky. And if we let ourselves be blind. Q: Instead of watching out? A: Instead of always watching out.

About This Quote

The first question of the 1845 novel "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" says , "The soul wanders in the dark, until it finds love. And so, wherever our love goes, there we find our soul. Q: It always happens? A: If we're lucky. And if we let ourselves be blind." The story is about a man named Dorian Gray who becomes obsessed with eternal youth and beauty.

However, he sells his soul to a devilish artist named Basil Hallward for eternal beauty. Eventually, Dorian's soul is corrupted by the devil's temptations, so he sells his soul back to Hallward in exchange for repentance.
