Famous quotes containing the words wine and/or critic:
“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The Critic spits on what is done,—
Gives it a wipe,—and all is gone.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
