Literary Critic

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or critic:

“The literary artist will ... portray what he knows, and little else. Imagination is built upon knowledge, and his dreams will rest upon his facts. He is worth to the world just about what he has learned from it, and no more.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

“The Critic spits on what is done,—
Gives it a wipe,—and all is gone.”
