"Pulchra sunt enim ubera, quae paululum supereminent, et tument modice (...) quasi repressa, sed non depressa; leniter restricta, non fluitantia licenter."
Sermones in Canticum 31, PL 184, col.163


"Breasts are most pleasing when they are of moderate size and eminence (...) they should be bound but not flatened, restricted gently and not allowed to wobble too feely."
translation by Hugh Bredin in Umberto Eco's The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquina (1988)
