Also, when I didn't like something, I could keep my opinion to myself.

For I am not so enamoured of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them.

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.

I've been criticized for not having perspective in the past and I thought that of myself many times but not there.

In looking back, I see nothing to regret and little to correct.

Sometimes, on a personal level, I wince.

People's opinions don't interfere with me.

Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

I think the biggest mistake I made was this wretched ability to see both sides of an argument.
