  • 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.

It is good for the digestion.

    Witty   Exercise   Men  
    "Notes on 'Camp'" by Susan Sontag, note 54, (p. 291), 1964.
