"When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy."
"Ah! but what do you mean by good?"
"To be good is to be in harmony with oneself. Discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others. One's own life - that is the important thing. Individualism has really the higher aim. Modern morality consists in accepting the standard of one's age. I consider that for any man of culture to accept the standard of his age is a form of the grossest immorality."From a brave individualist.
(The Picture of Dorian Gray).
