Dostoevky's lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity - all this is difficult to admire.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Put cream and sugar on a fly and it tastes very much like a raspberry.
E. W. Howe
Image
The senses are a kind of reason. Taste, touch and smell, hearing and seeing, are not merely a means to sensation, enjoyable or otherwise, but they are also a means to knowledge - and are, indeed, your only actual means to knowledge.
Joseph Campbell
Image
If you try to please audiences, uncritically accepting their tastes, it can only mean that you have no respect for them: that you simply want to collect their money.
Andrei Tarkovsky
Image
Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.
Bill Maher

The core of a director is the person's tastes in what elements go together and how they go together. It's a puzzle.

I have to be strong about my own tastes because I think that's what the director's job is.

A traveler of taste will notice that the wise are polite all over the world, but the fool only at home.

It's always great to have things from France at a wedding. It's symbolic of style, of culture, of taste.

My mother was making $135 a week, but she had resilience and imagination. She might take frozen vegetables, cook them with garlic, onion and Spam, and it would taste like a four-star dinner.
Andre Dubus

The more the soul knows, the more she loves, and loving much, she tastes much.
W. H. Murray
Image
A trite word is an overused word which has lost its identity like an old coat in a second-hand shop. The familiar grows dull and we no longer see, hear, or taste it.
Anais Nin
Image
There is no need for the writer to eat a whole sheep to be able to tell you what mutton tastes like. It is enough if he eats a cutlet. But he should do that.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
It’s too much of a drinking culture, everything tastes better with a drink. Like, watch TV: glass of wine. Cooking dinner: glass of champagne. White wine vinegar hasn’t got white wine in it. Has it?
Amy Winehouse

I'm kind of a mash-up of taste - Graham Greene and Jane Austen W.G. Sebald and Alice Munro.

At some point, I get a weird feeling, and that's when I know it's done. I probably ruin a lot of really perfectly fine things. So part of working on paper, and trying to work really fast, is to see if I can expand the area of not being driven by taste. Not saying, This looks good, I'll stop.

I hate false advertising, like 'Skittles: taste the rainbow.' No one's ever been like, 'Rainbow, right you guys?' Or what's Reese's? 'There's no wrong way to eat a Reese's.' Oh, really? Tell that to my uncle who used to put them in my underwear. Alright, maybe your uncles didn't love you.

I've failed a million times on stage. I've listened to notes that I knew weren't right. I've pitched ideas and let other people change them, knowing that it was the wrong choice. The question you have to ask yourself is: How do you want to fail? Do you want to fail in a way that feels like it respects your tastes and value system?

When you came, you were like red wine and honey, and the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.
Amy Lowell
Image
I love sushi. But after too much of it, it just starts to taste like a dead animal that hasn't been cooked.
Amy Lee
Image
Do you eat chicken because you are familiar with the scientific literature on them and have decided that their suffering doesn't matter, or do you do it because it tastes good?
Jonathan Safran Foer
Image
It would be hypocritical of me to take issue with anything in questionable taste, seeing that I invented bad taste in films.
