The Philistine element in life is not the failure to understand art. Charming people, such as fishermen, shepherds, ploughboys, peasants and the like, know nothing about art, and are the very salt of the earth.
生活中的庸俗,并不在于不懂艺术。渔夫、牧人、耕地的少年、农民等可爱的人,虽对艺术一无所知,却是世间最可贵的人。
— Oscar Wilde · De Profundis (1905 edition) —
