Criticize

Famous quotes containing the word criticize:

—Sethembile N., South African black anti-apartheid activist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 19, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)

“I criticize myself ruthlessly, but never mention the faults of which I am truly ashamed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“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)
