—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Parents sometimes feel that if they don’t criticize their child, their child will never learn. Criticism doesn’t make people want to change; it makes them defensive.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
