“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”
― Pablo Picasso

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
