讀到如此文字的時候，怎可能不愛上這個傢伙寫的東西？

論皇家藝術學院人多嘴雜，欣賞不到好作品：

> The Academy is too large and too vulgar. Whenever I have gone there, there have been either so many people that I have not been able to see the pictures, which was dreadful, or so many pictures that I have not been able to see the people, which was worse.
>
> 皇家藝術學院太大，品味又太低。我每次到那，要不就是人太多，害我無看不到畫，有夠討厭；不然就是畫太多，害我看不到人，更糟糕。

論藝術家假惺惺不想出名，或是被八卦：

> It is silly of you, for there is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
>
> 你別鬧了，這世界上只有一件事比人家談論你還糟糕的，那就是人家不談論你。

這樣的篇章層出不窮。我還能說什麼呢？原汁原味的王爾德啊。（以上出自 Oscar Wilde. *The Picture of Dorian Gray*. Philadelphia, 1890）
