Criticism

There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Best Quotes about Criticism

1.
Critical remarks are only made by people who love you.
Mayor, Federico

2.
Did some more sober critics come abroad? If wrong, I smil'd; if right, I kiss'd the rod.
Pope, Alexander

3.
We protest against unjust criticism but we accept unarmed applause.
Narosky, Jose

4.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right. You'll be criticized anyway.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

5.
Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
Conrad, Joseph

6.
People who ask for your criticism want only praise.
Maugham, W. Somerset

7.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

8.
A drama critic is a person who surprises the playwright by informing him what he meant.
Mizner, Wilson

9.
We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall -- which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.
Carlyle, Thomas

10.
He who throws dirt always loses ground.

11.
A bad review is even less important than whether it is raining in Patagonia.
Murdoch, Iris

12.
The best criticism doesn't trap an employee or child in a dead end. It gives them an escape route.

13.
One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless. They have put into practice the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.
Rosenberg, Harold

14.
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
In reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them men of much greater profundity than they really are.
Fielding, Henry

16.
The text is merely one of the contexts of a piece of literature, its lexical or verbal one, no more or less important than the sociological, psychological, historical, anthropological or generic.
Fiedler, Leslie

17.
You know what the critics are. If you tell the truth they only say you're cynical and it does an author no good to get a reputation for cynicism.
Maugham, W. Somerset

18.
He cannot be strict in judging, who does not wish others to be strict judges of himself.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead.
Proverb, Chinese

20.
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

21.
It is the nature of the artist to mind excessively what is said about him. Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.
Woolf, Virginia

22.
Any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build it.
Rayburn, Sam

23.
The pleasure we feel in criticizing robs us from being moved by very beautiful things.
La Bruyere, Jean De

24.
A critic is a man who knows the way, but can't drive the car.
Tynan, Kenneth

25.
The greatest honor that can be paid to the work of art, on its pedestal of ritual display, is to describe it with sensory completeness. We need a science of description. Criticism is ceremonial revivification.
Paglia, Camille

26.
Criticism of others is futile and if you indulge in it often you should be warned that it can be fatal to your career.
Carnegie, Dale

27.
After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.
Edith Wharton

28.
Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do.
Dale Carnegie

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.
Bible

32.
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

33.
A wise skepticism is the first attribute of a good critic.
Lowell, James Russell

34.
When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart.
Rowland, Helen

35.
The author himself is the best judge of his own performance; none has so deeply meditated on the subject; none is so sincerely interested in the event.
Gibbon, Edward

36.
It is just as hard to do your duty when men are sneering at you as when they are shouting at you.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

37.
The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.
Wilde, Oscar

38.
The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his soul among masterpieces.
France, Anatole

39.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.

40.
Honest criticism is hard to take, especially from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger.
Jones, Franklin P.

41.
There has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.
Ziglar, Zig

42.
Critics are usually kinder to cheaper movies than to those they perceive to be big Hollywood releases. They cut you a lot more slack if you spend less money, which makes no sense.
Coen, Ethan

43.
God knows people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick; camp following eunuchs of literature. They won't even whore. They're all virtuous and sterile. And how well meaning and high minded. But they're all camp followers.
Hemingway, Ernest

44.
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

45.
That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one's own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography.
Wilde, Oscar

46.
I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
Thoreau, Henry David

47.
Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
Kurt Vonnegut

48.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Eleanor Roosevelt

49.
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
H. L. Mencken

50.
When everyone is against you, it means you are absolutely wrong -- or you are absolutely right.
Guinon, Albert
