Oscar Wilde
Irish Writer

"It is only by contact with the art of foreign nations
that the art of a country gains that individual and
separate life that we call nationality"

"Ainuit kokkupuutes võõraste rahvaste kunstiga
omandab ũhe maa kunst selle ainuomase ja
iseseisva elu, mida me nimetame rahvuseks"

Eduard Wilde
Estonian Writer

"Kunst on ju üleilmaline ja peab seda olema, ilma et
rahvuslikud vaheseinad teda killutada ja jaotada tohiksid."

"Art is, and must be, universal - no national walls
should be allowed to partition or divide it."
