Oscar Wilde Quote/relevant

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.

  1. Ah yes, Oscar Wilde. He has *lots* to say about critics :)

    But my favorite Wilde quote:

    "People who count their chickens before they are hatched, act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately."
    -- Letter from Paris, dated May 1900

    It's true. They do run about absurdly.

  2. Oh my...Wilde never ceases to amaze me. I love this. I know a notorious egg-counter who'd like this, too...
