Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others. To seek the real beauty, or real deformity, it was fruitless an enquiry, as to pretend to ascertain the real bitter. According to the disposition of the origins, the same object may be both sweet and bitter; and the proverb has justly determined it to be fruitless to dispute concerning tastes. . . . Page 247
