O génio de Oscar - 1: Sobre arte

... beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm.
Philosophies fall away like sand, and creeds follow one another
like the withered leaves of autumn, but what is beautiful
is a joy for all seasons and a possession for all eternity.

... the good we get from art is not what we learn from it,
it is what we become through it.

We spend our days, each one of us, in looking for the secret of life.
Well, the secret of life is in art.


- Oscar Wilde
