Existen normas del buen gusto, pero no podemos conocerlas. Sólo podemos aplicarlas.
Standards of good taste exist, but we cannot know them. We can only apply them. Nicolás Gómez Dávila, Escolios a un Texto Implícito, 2.330. As one of my tutors in college put it, “De gustibus non est disputandum does not mean that everyone’s taste is equal. It means that some people are wrong, and others are right, even if they can’t prove it.” (The apparently loose -but apparently rather apt- gist of it all…and here follows a meaningful quotation/aspirational graphic about standards of grace not perfection, kindness not worth etc, etc. This is all very tumblr, Tumblr).
