Critics Argue

Famous quotes containing the words critics and/or argue:

    It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one’s children will become than for the children one’s “mature” critics often are.
    Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    Aphorisms are essentially an aristocratic genre of writing. The aphorist does not argue or explain, he asserts; and implicit in his assertion is a conviction that he is wiser and more intelligent than his readers.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
