You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvellous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realised the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Dorian to Sibil Lane, Chapter 7
Funny how one would sympathize with Dorian until the quote is read in context.
