William Hazlitt
There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
The severest critics are always those who have either never attempted, or who have failed in original composition.
William Hazlitt
There is not a more mean, stupid, dastardly, pitiful, selfish, spiteful, envious, ungrateful animal than the Public. It is the greatest of cowards, for it is afraid of itself.
William Hazlitt
The best kind of conversation is that which may be called thinking aloud.
William Hazlitt
The more a man writes, the more he can write.
William Hazlitt
Painters... are the most lively observers of what passes in the world about them, and the closest observers of what passes in their own minds.
William Hazlitt
He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies.
William Hazlitt
