Description
Excerpt from The Writings of Oscar Wilde: Epigrams; Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beauti ful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
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. For these there is hope.
