Critics Quotes

I don’t mind what the critics say, so long as I get some reaction. The worst thing is to be ignored Picture Quote #1

I don’t think the audience always listens to the critics. That’s been proven time and time again Picture Quote #1

People think I’m against critics because they are negative to my work. That’s not what bothers me. What bothers me is they didn’t see the work. I have seen critics print stuff about stuff I cut out of the film before we ran it. So don’t tell me about critics Picture Quote #1

In truth, even if they have an imperfect insight into their own methods, I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality Picture Quote #1

I am pushed by my critics. I don’t want to say I want to prove them wrong, but it pushes me on the field to play with a chip on my shoulder, and I play best when I have a chip on my shoulder Picture Quote #1

Critics haven’t taught me my cricket, and they don’t know what my body and mind are up to Picture Quote #1

When it comes to sitting down and composing, there is no hesitation, no concern, no critics breathing fire down my neck. For me, writing a song is the purest part of all. No one can mess with that Picture Quote #1

My job is to notice echoes and notice resonances. Scientists are not supposed to do the same thing that cultural critics do Picture Quote #1

When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root and grow. We must all hope we find them Picture Quote #1

What makes a good book? Scholars and critics have been debating that question for decades. I like books that touch my head and my heart at the same time Picture Quote #1

When I was your age, art was a lonely thing: no galleries, no collecting, no critics, no money. We didn’t have mentors. We didn’t have parents. We were alone. But it was a great time, because we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain Picture Quote #1

I would simply ask why so many critics, so many writers, so many philosophers take such satisfaction in professing that the experience of a work of art is ineffable, that it escapes by definition all rational understanding; why are they so eager to concede without a struggle the defeat of knowledge; and where does their irrepressible need to belittle rational understanding come from, this rage to affirm the irreduci Picture Quote #1

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic Picture Quote #1

As recently as the 1970s, the idea that the point of life was to get rich and that governments existed to facilitate this would have been ridiculed: not only by capitalism’s traditional critics but also by many of its staunchest defenders Picture Quote #1

A man may be as straight as an arrow, but even then he will have some critics Picture Quote #1

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself Picture Quote #1

To those critics who see capitalism as a system of inegalitarian, oppressive structures, its defenders have vaunted its ability to recognize and encourage what they call individual merit and asserted not only the desirability but also the inevitability of differential reward, of earned privilege, so to speak Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to brainwash my critics. If they’re critics, they’re critics, and that’s their job to be critical, but I certainly enjoy the involvement I have with my fans. I enjoy the time I get to spend with them, and I don’t waste time with someone stubborn who is not going to come around Picture Quote #1

Some critics saw fit to say that I was a great actress. I thought that was a foolish, wicket thing to say because it put such an onus and such a responsibility onto me, which I simply wasn’t able to carry Picture Quote #1

If I don’t practice for a day, I know it. If I don’t practice for two days, the critics know it. And if I don’t practice for three days, the public knows it Picture Quote #1

Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work Picture Quote #1

Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind Picture Quote #1

Critics of the global warming agenda are motivated... by a love of freedom and civil liberties. They want a discussion based on logic and facts that will address any problems without depriving us of liberty and personal choice. They do not want to sacrifice our way of life based on fears of an unproven theory. After all, the loss of liberty is a greater cause of alarm than global warming Picture Quote #1

Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters, stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews, to challenge every new author Picture Quote #1

I’m a musician and, just as the critics are hard on me, I’m hard on the critics Picture Quote #1

Advertising is much less powerful than advertisers and critics of advertising claim, and advertising agencies are stabbing in the dark much more than they are practicing precision microsurgery on the public consciousness Picture Quote #1

Well, I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves. Judgment is very easy, but I think, on the whole, professional critics maybe see too much, and compare too much, and forget the joy of actually looking and contemplating for its own sake Picture Quote #1

Critics stopped being relevant when they stopped writing to inform and contextualize, and when they started writing to signal who they are, to display their identity by their stance on what they are writing about. Criticism should never be about the critic, but thats what it has become, and that’s why no one cares about them anymore Picture Quote #1

I find that the critics of voluntary service are all too often those who are prepared to accept such services when they require them but deride them with cynicism and scepticism when they see others helping and being helped Picture Quote #1

You know, the critics never change; I’m still getting the same notices I used to get as a child. They tell me I play very well for my age Picture Quote #1
