Motivational Quotes
Criticism
After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.
Best Quotes about Criticism
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labor in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.
Raphael, Frederic
Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!
Meir, Golda
A film is just like a muffin. You make it. You put it on the table. One person might say, Oh, I don't like it. One might say it's the best muffin ever made. One might say it's an awful muffin. It's hard for me to say. It's for me to make the muffin.
Washington, Denzel
A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.
Tynan, Kenneth
Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and his audience.
West, Rebecca
In an age of unscrupulous and shameless book-making, it is a duty to give notice of the rubbish that cumbers the ground. There is no credit, no real power required for this task. It is the work of an intellectual scavenger, and far from being specially honorable.
Hutton, R. H.
Critics are those who have failed in literature and art.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Even the lion has to defend himself against flies.
Proverb, German
I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.
Pound, Ezra
Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post what it feels about dogs.
Hampton, Christopher
In my conscience I believe the baggage loves me, for she never speaks well of me herself, nor suffers any body else to rail at me.
Congreve, William
One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded.
Klee, Paul
Praise those of your critics for whom nothing is up to standard.
Hammarskjold, Dag
You should not say it is not good. You should say you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.
Whistler, James Mcneill
Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read.
Churchill, Charles
All the world's a stage, and all the clergymen critics.
Nunn, Gregory
Doubtless criticism was originally benignant, pointing out the beauties of a work rather that its defects. The passions of men have made it malignant, as a bad heart of Procreates turned the bed, the symbol of repose, into an instrument of torture.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
He who throws dirt always loses ground.
No degree of dullness can safeguard a work against the determination of critics to find it fascinating.
Harold Rosenberg
As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
James, Clive
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
H. L. Mencken
The critical method which denies literary modernity would appear -- and even, in certain respects, would be -- the most modern of critical movements.
Man, Paul De
The great critic must be a philosopher, for from philosophy he will learn serenity, impartiality, and the transitoriness of human things.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at.
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
Keats, John
Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.
Fox, Dr. Emmit
No sadder proof can be given of a person's own tiny stature, than their disbelief in great people.
Carlyle, Thomas
Any critic is entitled to wrong judgments, of course. But certain lapses of judgment indicate the radical failure of an entire sensibility.
Sontag, Susan
Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity than they really are.
Henry Fielding
When everyone is against you, it means you are absolutely wrong -- or you are absolutely right.
Guinon, Albert
People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.
DiCaprio, Leonardo
When subjected to the rain of criticism, let?s not curse the rain. Let?s accept it as a part of life. Let?s remember that the more criticism we can successfully handle, the more zest we will experience in our lives.
Sinha, Shall
The critical opinions of a writer should always be taken with a large grain of salt. For the most part, they are manifestations of his debate with himself as to what he should do next and what he should avoid.
Auden, W. H.
Be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.
Bible
The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his soul among masterpieces.
France, Anatole
Critics! Those cut-throat bandits in the paths of fame.
Burns, Robert
Writing about music is like dancing about architecture; it's a really stupid thing to want to do.
Costello, Elvis
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Picasso, Pablo
We protest against unjust criticism but we accept unarmed applause.
Narosky, Jose
In judging others, folks will work overtime for no pay.
Carruthers, Charles Edwin
In the arts, the critic is the only independent source of information. The rest is advertising.
Kael, Pauline
A bad review is even less important than whether it is raining in Patagonia.
Murdoch, Iris
In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.
Sontag, Susan
Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.
Gourmont, Remy De
A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.
Baudrillard, Jean
It is very perplexing how an intrepid frontier people, who fought a wilderness, floods, tornadoes, and the Rockies, cower before criticism, which is regarded as a malignant tumor in the imagination.
Dahlberg, Edward
A man generally has the good or ill qualities he attributes to mankind.
Shenstone, William
David Lynch came out of it a genius, and I came out of it a fat girl. I'm sorry that the only comment I get about the part is the way I look. [Commenting on the critics' response to her performance in Blue Velvet]
Rossellini, Isabella
