“Truth is disputable, not taste. What exists in the nature of things is the standard of our judgement; what each man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment”
— David Hume
Simplified Meaning:
People can argue about what is true, but not about what they like. We judge reality based on how things actually are, but we judge our feelings based on our personal experiences.
