| Quote:By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.[GK Chesterton] Quote:A drama critic is a man who leaves no turn unstoned.[George Bernard Shaw] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim.[Margaret Thatcher] Quote:We should not criticise those who trip by taking a more difficult than usual step.[Dick Hubbard] Quote:I arrive at the end of this review having done my duty as a critic. I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster.[Roger Ebert] Quote:To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote: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] Quote:To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.[Elbert Hubbard] Quote:The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded.[Ralph Waldo Emerson] Quote:If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.[Katherine Hepburn] Quote:Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then it will gradually yield to him.[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe] Quote:When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.[Winston Churchill] Quote:Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic. [Ambrose Bierce] Quote:Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs. [Dale Carnegie] Quote:If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much. [Donald H. Rumsfeld] Quote:Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers, then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality. [Adam Clayton Powell Jr.] Quote:Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. [George Eliot] Quote: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] Quote:Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger. [Franklin P. Jones] Quote:To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. [Elbert Hubbard] Quote:Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. [Benjamin Disraeli] Quote:I can't criticize what I don't understand.
