Summary

This quote suggests that there is no objective perspective or standard when it comes to aesthetics. It implies that beauty and goodness cannot be universally defined or experienced in the same way by everyone. What may be considered aesthetically pleasing or morally good in one culture or individual's eyes may not hold the same value or appeal for others. It highlights the subjective nature of aesthetic experiences and emphasizes the diversity in individual preferences and interpretations.
