“Exuberance is better than taste”
Pt. 1, Ch. 4; the most famous portion of this statement is "Exuberance is better than taste…" [Mieux vaut l'exubérance que le goût.]
Sentimental Education (1869)
Context: Without ideality, there is no grandeur; without grandeur there is no beauty. Olympus is a mountain. The most effective monument will always be the Pyramids. Exuberance is better than taste; the desert is better than a streetpavement, and a savage is surely better than a hairdresser!
“A good general rule is to state that the bouquet is better than the taste, and vice versa.”
One-Upmanship (1952) ch. 14
On wine-tasting.
“Nowhere probably is there more true feeling, and nowhere worse taste, than in a churchyard”

“You are rich if and only if money you refuse tastes better than money you accept.”

That bacon tray is always at the end of the buffet, you always regret all the stuff on your plate. "What am I doing with all this worthless fruit? I should have waited! If I had known you were here I would've waited...."
