Following is an excerpt from what I believe a truly genius novel by Oscar Wilde:

“What of Art?
-It is a malady.
--Love?
-An Illusion.
--Religion?
-The fashionable substitute for Belief.
--You are a sceptic.
-Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.
--What are you?
-To define is to limit.”       (The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde)
