+=head2 v5.15.3 - Oscar Wilde, All Art is Quite Useless
+
+ All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath
+ the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol
+ do so at their peril.
+
+ It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
+ Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the
+ work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree, the
+ artist is in accord with himself.
+
+ We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as
+ he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless
+ thing is that one admires it intensely.
+
+ All art is quite useless.
+
+ -- Oscar Wilde, From the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray
