Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know
Oscar Wild, The Picture of Dorian Gray
... the illusion of truth for its method, and the illusion of beauty for its result. ... For in art there is no such thing as a universal truth. A truth in art is that whose contradictory is also true. ... The truths of metaphysics are the truths of masks.
Oscar Wild (1854-1900), The Truth Of Masks, a Note On Illusion.
