Vulgarity Is Hygiene Laughing

More From Roger Ebert

Taste governs every free - as opposed to rote - human response. nothing is more decisive. there is taste in people, visual taste, taste in emotion - and there is taste in acts, taste in morality. intelligence, as well, is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.
Ideas People Taste
Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. manners are the archetypes of laws. manners are laws in their infancy; laws are manners fully grown,--or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws.
Children Growing Up Law
[good taste] is a nineteenth-century concept. and good taste has never really been defined. the effort of projecting 'good taste' is so studied that it offends me. no, i prefer to negate that. we have to put a period to so-called good taste.
Effort Taste Century
The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. the man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. here camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. it makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. it is good for the digestion.
Witty Exercise Men
The worst vulgarity is to avoid vulgarity solely on the grounds that it is vulgar.
Vulgarity Is Vulgar Worst
There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. it may be unimportant or painful. it cannot be vulgar. vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation.
Pain Vulgarity Is May
