Expression and the artist

By: Oscar Wilde
Translated by Vasil Gjymshana

I believe that in the beginning God made a special world for each person and in that world, which is inside us, man must seek to live. I certainly don't need to explain to you how fluid a thing thought is to me - as it is to all of us - and what an unstable substance our emotions are, however, I see a kind of final escape to which, through art, we can progress.

Prison life makes one see people and things as they really are. This is the reason that makes man turn to stone. People outside are deceived by the illusions of a life in perpetual motion. They roll with life and contribute to its unreality. We who are still see and know.


I have "cleaned my insides of many dangerous materials". I need not remind you that expression alone is for the artist the golden and only way of life.
