Wine Critic

Famous quotes containing the words wine and/or critic:

    A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 10:19.

    Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music—his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting—that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
