Criticism is painful when it's not done with love.
Alice Walker
Image
Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.
Emile M. Cioran
Image
Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. He whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of a critic.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.
Alan Barth
Image
Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
Criticism at the wrong time, even if it's legitimate criticism, can be seriously damaging and make the writer lose faith in what he's doing. It's the timing that's all-important.
Donna Tartt
Image
Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside
Rosanna Arquette
Image
Criticism polishes my mirror.
Rumi
Image
Criticism can be wonderful, especially in making connections in an interpretive way. But by applying theories randomly, it's an interesting exercise, but I don't think it illuminates the literature.
T.C. Boyle
Image
Criticism is not construction, it is observation.
George William Curtis
Image
Criticism in the universities, I'll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It's Stalinism without Stalin.
Harold Bloom
Image
Criticism always hurts most when we deserve it.
Glenn L. Pace
Image
Criticism is the seed of divorce, and it develops rebellion in our young.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Image
Criticism is the forerunner of divorce, the cultivator of rebellion, sometimes an agent that leads to failure.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Image
Criticism is as often a trade as a science, requiring, as it does, more health than wit, more labour than capacity, more practice than genius.
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
Criticism is a life without risk.
John Lahr
Image
Criticism? An artist wants praise. Praise.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Criticism is, for me, like essay writing, a wonderful way of relaxation it doesn't require a heightened and mediated voice, like prose fiction, but rather a calm, rational, even conversational voice.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
Criticism is a painful pill to swallow, but it always makes you better.
Wes Fesler
Image
Criticism should be a casual conversation.
W. H. Auden
Image
Criticism can be effective when there is something that must be destroyed or dissolved, but it is capable only of harm when there is something to be built.
Carl Jung
Image
Criticism is a great motivation. Failure is not an option to me.
Wladimir Klitschko
Image
Criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press
Hugo Black
Image
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes them strive to justify themselves. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts their sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
Dale Carnegie
