“We all know very well how quickly people recognize each other, and how unequivocally they can feel that they belong together, when they discover a kinship in questions of what pleases and displeases. From the viewpoint of this common experience, it is as though taste decides not only how the world is to look, but who belongs together in it… By his manner of judging, the person discloses to an extent also himself, what kind of person he is, and this disclosure, which is involuntary, gains in validity to the degree that it has liberated itself from merely individual idiosyncrasies.” — Hannah Arendt, Between Past and Future
