Temperament is the primary requisite for the critic - a temperament exquisitely susceptible to beauty, and to the various impressions that beauty gives us.

» Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success magazine

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.

» Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success magazine

Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race. As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic.

» Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) American novelist [,also known by her Chinese name 'Sai Zhenzhu' Nobel Prize in literature in 1938]

Abuse if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated, you will be thought to have deserved it.

» Publilius Syrus (46-29) Former syrian slave who became a roman Writerand poet

Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

Blame is safer than praise.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.

» Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American science fiction writer

Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.

» Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American science fiction writer

Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. He whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of a critic.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author

I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works. An assault upon a town is a bad thing; but starving it is still worse.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author

Reviewers are usually people who would have been, poets, historians, biographer, if they could. They have tried their talents at one thing or another and have failed; therefore they turn critic.

» Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) British author

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to sh

» Stendhal (1783-1842) French novelist

The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.

» Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success magazine

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.

» Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) Chilean poet

Criticism should not be querulous and wasting, all knife and root-puller, but guiding, instructive, inspiring.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

It is wrong to be harsh with the New York critics, unless one admits in the same breath that it is a condition of their existence that they should write entertainingly about something which is rarely worth writing about at all.

» Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American science fiction writer

It's hard when you read an article saying bad things about you. It is as if someone is sticking a knife on your heart. But I am the harshest critic of my work.

» Robin Williams (1952-2014) American Comedian

Criticism, as it was first instituted by Aristotle, was meant as a standard of judging well.

» Samuel Butler (1835-1902) Novelist, iconoclastic Victorian-era English author
