'I don’t regret for a single moment having lived for pleasure.
I did it to the full, as one should do everything that one does.
There was no pleasure I did not experience.
I threw the pearl of my soul into a cup of wine.
I went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes.
I lived on honeycomb.
But to have continued the same life would have been wrong because it would have been limiting.
I had to pass on. The other half of the garden had its secrets for me also.'
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
