The taste of the masses is characterized not by their antipathy to the excellent, but by the passivity with which they enjoy equally the good, the mediocre, and the bad.
The masses do not have bad taste. They simply do not have taste.

  1. The original Spanish is:

    El gusto de las masas no se caracteriza por su antipatía a lo excelente, sino por la pasividad con que igualmente gozan de lo bueno, lo mediocre, y lo malo.
    Las masas no tienen mal gusto. Simplemente no tienen gusto.
