Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
