"the nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of caliban seeing his own face in the mirror"
A bit of Google-fu shows this to be a misquote of a line from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.
A thought-provoking sentiment - especially as I've been reading a lot lately about the Transcendentalists, Theosophists, and other 19th Century movements.
Why this is painted on a cinder block wall enclosing a border crossing in Tijuana...I have no idea.

A bit more Google-fu shows this to be the work of artist Daniel Joseph Martinez.
