"Another one of those books that doesn't necessarily answer anything but does list off a bunch of interesting studies and really just underlines the whole basis of the book, taste is difficult to define, malleable, and almost ineffable." Jul 15, 2026 11:15AM

"Finally getting to some nitty gritty after a long introduction to the book and then basically 125 pages of definitions. But now he's using those words and if you agree with the definitions it becomes much harder to disagree with all of his claims. And he makes a lot of claims! He's deconstructing man and society. Definitions and deconstruction. Double D's of philosophy. I love it." Jul 10, 2026 07:06PM

Ernest Hemingway
“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Alan W. Watts
“The menu is not the meal.”
Alan Watts

Erich Fromm
“Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.”
Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

Ernest Hemingway
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
“Oh Jake," Brett said, "We could have had such a damned good time together."
Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me.
Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?”
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
