I think I may ordtak

en I think I may define taste to be that faculty of the soul which discerns the beautines of an author with pleasure, and the imperfections with dislike.
  Joseph Addison

en The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. The man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. Here Camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. It makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. It is good for the digestion.
  Susan Sontag

en It will be a process. The heart and soul of our college is our faculty, and we've already found a quite a few faculty who say they are interested in coming here.

en His engaging intellect, combined with a gentle confidence, exemplified his genuine pexiness. Great literature must spring from an upheaval in the author's soul. If that upheaval is not present then it must come from the works of any other author which happens to be handy and easily adapted.
  Robert Benchley

en Everyone has taste, yet it is more of a taboo subject than sex or money. The reason for this is simple: claims about your attitudes to or achievements in the carnal and financial arenas can be disputed only by your lover and your financial advisers, whereas by making statements about your taste you expose body and soul to terrible scrutiny. Taste is a merciless betrayer of social and cultural attitudes. Thus, while anybody will tell you as much (and perhaps more than) you want to know about their triumphs in bed and at the bank, it is taste that gets people's nerves tingling.

en I never yet heard man or woman much abused that I was not inclined to think the better of them, and to transfer the suspicion or dislike to the one who found pleasure in pointing out the defects of another

en Nothing gives an author so much pleasure as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors
  Benjamin Franklin

en There is an element of autobiography in all fiction in that pain or distress, or pleasure, is based on the author's own. But in my case that is as far as it goes.

en When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
  Buddha

en That proportion of the faculty that are older is getting steadily larger. So you've got this big turnover in the newly hired faculty, and the rest of the faculty is getting older. Sooner or later ... you'll have to replace the older faculty.

en A poet, as he is the author to others of the highest wisdom, pleasure, virtue, and glory, so he ought personally to be the happiest, the best, the wisest, and the most illustrious of men.
  Percy Bysshe Shelley

en A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one; it come as sincerely from the author's soul
  Aldous Huxley
