Do Not Remove
Oscar Wilde — The Picture of Dorian Gray
I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it.
He was always late on principle, his principle being that punctuality is the thief of time.
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
"My dear boy," said Lord Henry, smiling, "anybody can be good in the country. There are no temptations there. That is the reason why people who live out of town are so absolutely uncivilised. Civilisation is not by any means an easy thing to attain to. There are only two ways by which man can reach it. One is by being cultured, the other by being corrupt. Country people have no opportunity of being either so they stagnate."
"To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable."

It was meant to be the third album released by the Beatles' spoken word and avant garde Zapple Records label following John and Yoko's Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With the Lions and George Harrison's Electronic Sound. The company folded before it came out.
And lastly, Michael Jackson narrates the LP version of E.T.!

Dentes is a weird Portuguese version of Neil Young's Down By the River.
