To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. … Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine. *
* Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900) from: The Soul of Man
