Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't take criticism lying down.
Weakness is provocative.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
Their is no defense against criticism except obscurity.
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Criticism is prejudice made plausible.
If you get criticized, good - I don't think people get criticized enough. People talk behind your back and they criticize you, but they don't often come up and say it to you.
I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.
