Taste According To John Ruskin

“Taste is not only a part and index of morality, it is the only morality. The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is "What do you like?" Tell me what you like, I'll tell you what you are” John Ruskin.

Do you think this opinion is true ?

Food For Thought

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination”  Oscar Wilde

And what could dear Oscar possibly mean ? Do you agree ? Isn’t this exactly what got everybody in trouble in the first place ?

Agree/Disagree ? Would love to hear your thoughts.

This is Neuschwanstein Castle, and it is where I would like to live, except I live within my means, I have no imagination what so ever.

Style, You've Got To Have It

According to Ms. Vreeland "You've got to have style. It helps you get out of bed in the morning."

Versus what? stay in bed? Ahhh, I love such big statements especially when you can get away with them. But how would you know if you do have it or not and how do you decide how to proceed in the morning if the former is not decided? I like the idea of having "taste" but I think it is slightly condescending, no?
