Quote by Oscar Wilde

It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.

Summary

This quote suggests that an artist's innate talent and creativity are derived from nature, but it is through the practice and study of art that they learn the proper techniques and forms of expression. Nature acts as the source of inspiration and raw material, while the discipline of art provides the necessary guidance and skill development to effectively convey their artistic vision. In other words, while nature cultivates the artist's creative instincts, it is art that hones and refines their ability to express themselves.

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their d

Always this same morbid interest in other people and their doings, their privacies, their dirty linen, always this air of alertness for personal happenings, personalities, personalities, personalities. Always this subtle criticism and appraisal of other people, this analysis of other people's motives. If anatomy presupposes a corpse, then psychology presupposes a world of corpses. Personalities, which means personal criticism and analysis, presuppose a whole world laboratory of human psyches waiting to be vivisected. If you cut a thing up, of course it will smell. Hence, nothing raises such an infernal stink, at last, as human psychology.
