It seems this is an age of clever critics who keep bewailing the fact that there are no works worthy of criticism.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Critics reach that age when it is as valuable and daring to hold a negative opinion as it is for a positive. We learn and understand from both.
The greater part of critics are parasites, who, if nothing had been written, would find nothing to write.
So I haven't thought about the critics for a long time.
If you can't tolerate critics, don't do anything new or interesting.
Critics are not creators. They rarely write great novels, invent new technologies, or come up with a great business idea.
When ideas are young and vulnerable, criticism can be lethal.
As for critics, one mediocre writer is more valuable than ten good critics. They are like haughty, barren spinsters lodged in a maternity ward.
I think as you get older, you realize there's always going to be critics. Critics are going to win every time because they can change their critique based on the stats and their own personal feelings.
No degree of dullness can safeguard a work against the determination of critics to find it fascinating.
There's no end to the inventiveness of critics, I tell you. Because they can't write fiction, they put their impulse into their analysis of work.
