Oscar Wilde Itself Quotations

Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.

Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.

The spirit of an age may be best expressed in the abstract ideal arts, for the spirit itself is abstract and ideal.

A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.
