Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
