Beauty is the sole ambition, the exclusive goal of Taste.

Summary

This quote suggests that the essence of Taste lies in the pursuit and appreciation of beauty. It implies that our sense of what is aesthetically pleasing drives our preferences and judgments. By emphasizing the importance of beauty as the primary motivation for Taste, it implies that individuals devote their efforts to seeking, recognizing, and appreciating the visually and aesthetically appealing aspects of the world. It highlights the subjective nature of Taste, as the definition of beauty varies from person to person, but it ultimately suggests that beauty is the ultimate objective and aspiration for what we find tasteful.
