Tastes

Famous quotes containing the word tastes:

“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“But it’s hard to farm
Between the stumps:
The cows get thin, the milk tastes funny,
The kids grow up and go to college
They don’t come back
the little fir-trees do”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
