"There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray, that the whole of history was merely a record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstance, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions. He felt that he had known them all, those strange, terrible figures that had passed along the stage of life and had made sin so marvelous and evil so full of subtlety. It seemed, that in some mysterious way, their lives had been his own."
