"Food for thought"

"Creative people have 50 per cent more mating success than non-creative people, which explains my three wives. Why do pop musicians and artists have all this mating success? It’s because on an unconscious level their peacock’s tail is on display.”

"Food for thought"

"In modern times, there is nothing which more exactly defines social differences than personal taste, whether in food or music or wallpaper or the choice of children’s names.

-- Keith Thomas, "To Buy or Not to Buy: The Origins of Good Taste"
