Bad Man

Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or man:

“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“It is said, no man can write but one book; and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
