“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

“Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life.”
