Critical

Famous quotes containing the word critical:

    A third variety of drama ... begins as tragedy with scraps of fun in it ... and ends in comedy without mirth in it, the place of mirth being taken by a more or less bitter and critical irony.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people’s children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it.
    Erma Bombeck (20th century)

    An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark—that is critical genius.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
