Roger Scruton Quotes

The Belief That There Is A Difference Between Good And Bad, Meaningful And Meaningless, Profound And Vapid, Exciting And Banal - This Belief Was Once Fundamental To Musical Education. But It Offends Against Political Correctness. Today There Is Only My Taste And Yours. The Suggestion That My Taste Is Better Than Yours Is Elitist, An Offence Against Equality. But Unless We Teach Children To Judge, To Discriminate, To Recognise The Difference Between Music Of Lasting Value And Mere Ephemera, We Give Up On The Task Of Education. Judgment Is The Precondition Of True Enjoyment, And The Prelude To Understanding Art In All Its Forms.
