Michel de Montaigne Taste Quotations

Tis the taste of effeminacy that disrelishes ordinary and accustomed things.

He whose mouth is out of taste says the wine is flat.

Meditation is a powerful and full study as can effectually taste and employ themselves.

The world always looks straights ahead; as for me, I turn my gaze inward, I fix it there and keep it busy. Everyone looks in front of him: as for me, I look inside me: I have no business but with myself; I continually observe myself, I take stock of myself, I taste myself. Others...they always go forward; as for me, I roll about in myself.

Shame on all eloquence which leaves us with a taste for itself and not for its substance.

Whatever are the benefits of fortune, they yet require a palate fit to relish and taste them.
