On [:] Immoral | Oscar Wilde, 1891

Jiří Trnka, The Stag with the Golden Antlers, 1969

“Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. For a town or country labourer to practise thrift would be absolutely immoral. Man should not be ready to show that he can live like a badly-fed animal. He should decline to live like that, and should either steal or go on the rates, which is considered by many to be a form of stealing.”

Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man Under Socialism, 1891
