Taste is the common sense of genius.[Le goût, c’est la raison du génie.]
To constitute taste, it is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.[Il ne suffit pas, pour le goût, de voir, de connaître la beauté d’un ouvrage : il faut la sentir, en être touché.]
I think a woman smothered in cheap scent is one of the greatest abominations known to mankind.
I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don’t ask me who I am.
I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.
A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
