Each age finds its own expression in material things and the faculty we use to identify those we find palatable or repellent we call taste.

Taste is overwhelmingly a matter of personal preference, a person's ability to interpret style or add meaning to gestures, flavours or objects...

Taste is not a particular set of values, but the ability to discriminate between things in order to enhance enjoyment of them...

The character of an object is a matter of design, the meaning of an object in use is a matter of taste. (by Stephen Bayley)
