"One of the chief causes that can be assigned for the curiously commonplace character of most of the literature of our age is undoubtedly the decay of Lying as an ort, a science, and a social pleasure. The ancient historians gave us delightful fiction in the form of fact; the modern novelist presents us with dull facts under the guise of fiction."
-Oscar Wilde
I've had this swing in both directions now, but inspired by my idol, Wilde: Out with life as the basis for art! Up with baseless artifice!! VIVA LIES!
And i'm sorry for being emo. I promise, soon you won't even know that you're reading my diary. ;)
