Quote

I love criticism just so long as it's unqualified praise.

I have been both praised and criticized. The criticism stung, but the praise sometimes bothered me even more. To have received such praise and honors has always been puzzling to me.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.

Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.

I can take criticisms but not compliments.

Compliments and criticism are all ultimately based on some form of projection.

You have to take criticism with a grain of salt because you're never going to please everybody.
