“In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty."
- Phil Ochs
"‘What of art?’
‘It is a malady.’
‘Love?’
‘An illusion.’
‘Religion?’
‘A fashionable substitute for belief.’
‘You are a sceptic.’
‘Never! Scepticism is the beginning of faith.’
‘What are you?’
‘To define is to limit.’"
— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (via larmoyante)
