Oscar Wilde

What you really are is a Bunburyist. I was quite right in saying you were a Bunburyist. You are one of the most advanced Bunburyists I know.

It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.
