The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
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.
The moral life of man forms part of the subject matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.
From the point of view of form, the type of all arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
All art is quite useless.

~ Oscar Wilde, Excerpts from the Preface of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" ~

Well, I'm performing in our school's musical, "The Wizard of Oz" tomorrow! And that's really all I have to say, except that I love WestminsterPlot80, she's probably the BEST writer EVER...ever. Her "The Foundling" series is devilishly clever and special, so go read it.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee're off to see the wizard!

Um, July 27, 2008

It is now a year since I last posted, which is sad but understandable, because I wouldn't have anything to post about ... except that I'm graduated now, and to start my English Lit Bachelor degree in the fall!
