    “You have killed my love. You used to stir my imagination. Now you don't even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect.

You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid.”

    Oscar Wilde
    “It often happens that the real tragedies of life occur in such
    an inartistic manner that they hurt us by their crude violence, their
    absolute incoherence, their absurd want of meaning, their entire lack
    of style. They affect us just as vulgarity affects us. They give us
    an impression of sheer brute force, and we revolt against that.
    Sometimes, however, a tragedy that possesses artistic elements of
    beauty crosses our lives. If these elements of beauty are real, the
    whole thing simply appeals to our sense of dramatic effect. Suddenly
    we find that we are no longer the actors, but the spectators of the
    play. Or rather we are both. We watch ourselves, and the mere wonder
    of the spectacle enthralls us.”
    Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
