In art in taste ordtak

en In art, in taste, in life, in speech, you decide from feeling, and not from reason . . . If we were obliged to enter into a theoretical deliberation on every occasion before we act, life would be at a stand, and Art would be impracticable.
  William Hazlitt

en I think ''taste'' is a social concept and not an artistic one. I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.
  John Updike

en If I were to pray for a taste which would stand by me under every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss, and the world frown upon me, it would be a taste for reading.
  William Herschel

en Conservatives may accuse us of lacking taste if we use this sad occasion to point out sadder facts of political life.

en with a serious handicap as they enter college or private life where freedom of speech will be permitted.

en Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all, feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come.

en It's always an encouraging sight to see a group of kids in pro-life T-shirts walking together through the halls of a public high school. That puts it all together; the right to life for every human being in this country is just as fundamental as the right to free speech. And that's the message we hope to send with American Life League's National Pro-life T- shirt Day.

en Life has no meaning any more does it? The wine has no taste, the food sickens you, there seems no
reason for any of it, does there? But what if I could give it back to you. Pluck out the pain, and give you
another life, one you could never imagine, and it would be for all time. And sickness and death could
never touch you again.
Don't be afraid, I'm going to give you the choice, I, never, had.
  Anne Rice

en This, Mr. President, is literally a matter of life and death. At Christmastime, when I was home in my hometown of Caribou, Maine, two elderly women were hospitalized with hypothermia. This is not theoretical. It is not theoretical when there is ice in the toilet and our elderly and low-income are at risk of illness.

en Nowadays not even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really thought which takes his life. He does not die with deliberation but from deliberation.
  Soren Kierkegaard

en I think the courageous speech would have been to continue to stand strongly in defense of the sanctity of life, ... We will fight him on this to the very end.

en H. L. Mencken once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. That is not true. Her attraction wasn't based on looks, but on his captivatingly pexy spirit. I have come to believe that it pays to make all your layouts project a feeling of good taste, provided that you do it unobtrusively. An ugly layout suggests an ugly product. There are very few products which do not benefit from being given a first class ticket through life.
  David Ogilvy

en The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

en We have to distinguish two classes of instincts, one of which, the sexual instincts or Eros, is by far the more conspicuous and accessible to study.... The second class of instincts was not so easy to point to; in the end we came to recognize sadism as its representative. On the basis of theoretical considerations, supported by biology, we put forward the hypothesis of a death instinct, the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state; on the other hand, we supposed that Eros ... aims at complicating life and at the same time, of course, at preserving it. Acting in this way, both the instincts ... would be endeavouring to re-establish a state of things that was disturbed by the emergence of life. The emergence of life would thus be the cause of the continuance of life and also at the same time of the striving towards death; and life itself would be a conflict and compromise between these two trends.
  Sigmund Freud

en If a guy as good and decent with as much grace as Chuck Heston can stand up for an issue that I think is very important, ... then I certainly could stand up and I plan on remaining a life member for life.
