Book Quote

Taste is not learned out of books; it is not given from one person to another. Therein lies its profundity....Taste is like a perverse coral: it grows slowly and inexorably into unpredictable shapes, precisely because it's an offshoot of living itself. Acquiring taste, then, is not a result of study; it's a talent for living life."

~ Lawrence Osborne, The Accidental Connoisseur, 2004
