Quote by Oscar Wilde

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to

Summary

This quote, coined by renowned writer and art critic Oscar Wilde, highlights his satirical critique of the ever-changing nature of fashion. Wilde suggests that fashion is inherently flawed and unappealing, to the point where it becomes unbearable. The necessity to constantly modify and update fashion trends every six months, according to Wilde, reflects society's urge to escape this inherent ugliness. It captures the transient nature of fashion, which is not only susceptible to constant change but also a means to avoid confronting the deeper aspects of beauty and aesthetic value.

To be right, a person must do one of two things: either he must learn to have God in his work and hold fast to him there, or he must give up his work altogether.
