David Hume Taste Quotations

Truth is disputable, not human taste.

Kitsch is: a species of beauty, which, as it is florid and superficial, pleases at first; but soon palls upon the taste, and is rejected with disdain, at least rated at much lower value.

Morals and criticism are not so properly objects of the understanding as of taste and sentiment.

Delicacy of taste has the same effect as delicacy of passion; it enlarges the sphere both of our happiness and our misery.

Nothing is so improving to the temper as the study of the beauties either of poetry, eloquence, music, or painting.
