“A good taste in art feels the presence or the absence of merit; a just taste discriminates the degree--the poco piu and the poco meno. A good taste rejects faults; a just taste selects excellences. A good taste is often unconscious; a just taste is always conscious. A good taste may be lowered or spoilt; a just taste can only go on refining more and more.” FeelsMayArtGoes OnTasteDegreesConsciousFaultsExcellenceAbsenceMeritUnconsciousRejectsGood TasteRefiningSpoilt Author:Anna Brownell Jameson
“Father’s silence is not merely the absence of sound. It’s a creature with a life of its own. It chokes you. It pinches you small as a grain of rice. It twists in your gut like a worm. Silence clawed at my throat. It left a taste of burnt matches.” FatherLeftSoundSilenceTasteCreaturesAbsenceGutsThroatGrainSilence IsWormsTwistsRiceChoke Book:Chime Source: Chime
