"Feeling like an artist is quite common, feeling like an artist is rather rare, knowing how to act like an artist is for a few and very rare individuals. In the end, one must recognize that in matters of art, democracy does not exist." [O. Wilde]

Oscar Wilde said everything and the opposite of everything in his life, eh...

It could be, due to culture ... could you cite one that expresses an opinion contrary to what I have reported?
As an aside, the fact that he says the opposite of everything does not prevent one from seeing themselves in one of the many "conflicting" thoughts that he himself expresses; mine was not a tribute to Wilde but rather citing something written "well" that approached my thought... in short, I took his syntax... (it's not as if what he says is gospel truth)

you will be surprised to know it, but all this was not evident from the "pure" quotation.
The various times when I and others on the forum ask users to introduce discussions, to explain the quotations they cite, and not to limit themselves to posting links or quoted text, we mean precisely to avoid misunderstandings. And to ensure that the discussion develops. I may be wrong, but I want to believe that if you had introduced or explained your idea, rather than quoting Wilde, there would have already been some intervention/replies.
