There's only one critic whose opinion I really value, in the final analysis: Johnny Carson. I have never needed any entourage standing around bolstering my ego. I'm secure. I know exactly who and what I am. I don't need to be told. I make no apologies for being the way I am.
Johnny Carson
Image
The '80s made up for all the abuse I took during the '70s. I outlived all my critics. By the time I retired, everybody saw me as a venerable institution. Things do change.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Image
What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
There's a bait and switch going on here because the critics want the textbooks to question whether evolution occurred. And of course they don't because scientists don't question whether evolution occurred.
Eugenie Scott
Image
I don't know what to say about literary critics. I think it's probably best to say nothing.
Salman Rushdie
Image
There is a secret and wholesome conviction in the heart of every man or woman who has written a book that it should be no easy matter for an intelligent reader to lay down that book unfinished. There is a pardonable impression among reviewers that half an hour in its company is sufficient.
Agnes Repplier
Image
There will always be critics eager to fashion opinions for the lazy and incapable.
John Cage

Walter Duranty helped to turn the monster Stalin into a world figure and a hero of the leftistWestern intelligentsia by defending the bloodbath of the Soviet Union from its critics in the now famous: You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Lance Morrow

One thing that I don't think my critics realize about me is that I've been trained to look adversity in the face.
Reggie White

Great Art is Great because it inspired you greatly. If it didn't, no matter what the critics, the museums and the galleries say, it's not great art for you.
Yoko Ono
Image
Critics are to authors what dogs are to lamp-posts.
Jeffrey Robinson
Image
There's no faster way or surer way to consolidate power and disenfranchise critics than to operate in secret. So this plays squarely into the promotion of the unitary executive. That's one factor.
Ted Gup
Image
Every time you start a project, you're hopeful that the critics receive it warmly.
Bryan Cranston
Image
I think it is the responsibility of critics to rely less strenuously on, to use a Hollywood phrase, what they can live with, and more on an examination of the works of art from an aesthetic and clinical point of view.
Edward Albee
Image
A critic is to an author as a fungus to an oak.
Edward Abbey
Image
I have been attacked by media critics and just critics of my own for years. And that, unfortunately, is part of the job in 2016 America. I was used to that. And I've developed a thick skin.
Megyn Kelly
Image
Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost?
Paulo Coelho
Image
I don't praise my people. I am their greatest critic.
Chinua Achebe
Image
I write books that seem more suitable for children, and that's OK with me. They are a better audience and tougher critics. Kids tell you what they think, not what they think they should think.
Maurice Sendak
Image
The worst advice? 'Don't listen to the critics.' I think that you really ought to listen to the critics, because sometimes they're telling you something is broken that you can fix.
Stephen King
Image
People ask for criticism, but they only want praise.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
It's obvious to say you can't please everybody and there are always going to be people who are going to say, I just don't like you. There's nothing I can do about that. I'm aware, probably much more aware than my harshest critic, of what my own problems are with my acting ability. I'm very, very critical of myself, and I don't ever want to not be.
Keira Knightley
Image
If you make action movies, the critics will savage you, and then your movies are outdated the following week with the new wave of special effects.
Adam McKay
Image
The pleasure we feel in criticizing robs us from being moved by very beautiful things.
Jean de la Bruyere
