Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all the other qualities. It is the nec plus ultra of the intelligence. Through this alone is genius the supreme health and balance of all the faculties.

All tastes have the quality of being in some way artificial and invented. The secret of life is to have enough detachment from your tastes and your values to see that they are a little bit absurd.

Taste is developed by the diversity of the products one can sample. I think our children today may be missing an education about food. We must teach them to know their cuisine and to know the equilibrium of nourishment. That is very important for health.

The kind of people who always go on about whether a thing is in good taste invariably have very bad taste.

In my estimation, the only thing that is more to be guarded against than bad taste is good taste.

Deciding taste is egotistical, but that's how taste is established, by somebody having the courage to say, 'I don't want to sell that.'

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.

Good taste is the modesty of the mind; that is why it cannot be either imitated or acquired.

There's no common taste in this world.

Sometimes it's more important to be human, than to have good taste.
