Quote by Oscar Wilde
Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.
Summary
This quote suggests that having an absolute catholicity (openness and acceptance) of taste in art may not always be ideal. It argues that when one appreciates all schools of art without discernment, it is akin to the mindset of an auctioneer who sees value in everything. This implies that having a discerning eye and a critical judgment is important in art appreciation, as it prevents one from blindly accepting mediocre or lesser works of art.
