‘One Should Either Be a’ — Oscar Wilde Quote Tee | RQuéV Typographic Statement Tee — Muscle Tank

“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” Oscar Wilde published this in December 1894 among his “Phrases and Philosophies for the Use of the Young,” aphorisms so provocative they were read aloud against him at his trials months later. That a dandy’s one-liner could become courtroom evidence is worth remembering whenever self-presentation gets waved off as shallow. Wilde staked everything on the idea that surface is a serious thing — and paid for it in full.
