Good Taste

Some people have such good taste they can't enjoy anything.

  3. My favorite quote from high school Latin class is "De gustibus non est disputandum (There is no disputing of tastes). Snobbery is a form of ignorance, and snobs have less fun. They really don't know what they're missing out on.

  4. So very true. You get folks that are so keen to be above it all that they forget to have any fun.

  5. Good one, Marty! Some people pride themselves with having good taste yet live in a sterile environment, unable to let loose and have fun. I am reminded of those fashion couches in homes many years ago, supposedly very tasteful but covered with plastic and you were never allowed to sit on them. Just for show. Yes, such good taste but no enjoyment!

  8. I agree,
    Know-it-alls sometimes can't enjoy at all.

  9. That's extremely true. There are some people who just can't enjoy anything because its not good enough.

  10. Better nothing than 'watery tart'. The deluge of third rate writing is one example.

  11. I met some people who meet this description. They look down on everything and nothing seems to bring them pleasure. I was very happy when the evening ended.

  12. I suspect that behind a lot of good taste there is someone making hay while the sun shines on this year's good taste.
