Wilde + Keats

For the vast majority of humans, 

Their vices consume each day, until their days are spent

For those that are virtuous,

Their virtues consume each day, until their days are spent

The only escape from insignificance is in art.

For art is beauty, and beauty is truth

And the only significant thing is the truth.

An artist seeks significance by finding the truth

And presenting it through beauty.

A true artist becomes significant.
