Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil.
Hutton Gibson
Image
Politkovskaya was a known critic of the administration. For this reason, one cannot rule out the possibility that someone would want to blame the government for the murder.
Alexander Lebedev
Image
I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I'm not a critic so much of my own writing. People must make up their own minds over that.
William Golding
Image
Art critics are like every other critic.
Marc Jacobs
Image
Most of us live for the critic, and he lives on us. He doesn't sacrifice himself. He gets so much a line for writing a criticism. If the birds should read the newspapers, they would all take to changing their notes. The parrots would exchange with the nightingales, and what a farce it would be!
William Morris Hunt
Image
Paradoxically, the simpler poetry is, the more difficult it becomes for a critic to discuss intelligently. Trained to explicate, the critic often loses the ability to evaluate literature outside the critical act. A work is good only in proportion to the richness and complexity of interpretations it provokes.
Dana Gioia
Image
Modern liberalism has many roots. One of the most important is the ideas of a man described by an American critic as 'his satanic free-trade majesty John Stuart Mill' and revered by others.
Alan Ryan
Image
Every good poet includes a critic, but the reverse is not true.
William Shenstone
Image
I'm not a critic. I'm not a journalist. I'm not a philosopher. Arguing that punk has run its course is like saying painting ran its course after the Renaissance. Punk is an idea. It's freedom. And it'll be around 200 years from now for the people who want it.
Patti Smith
Image
Scorn not the sonnet. Critic, you have frowned, Mindless of its just honours with this key Shakespeare unlocked his heart.
William Wordsworth
Image
Avoid the ecstatic adjectives that occupy such disproportionate space in every critic's quiver - words like enthralling and luminous.
William Zinsser
Image
A drama critic is a person who surprises the playwright by informing him what he meant.
Wilson Mizner
Image
the labors of the true critic are more essential to the author, even, than to the reader.
Agnes Repplier
Image
A forward critic often dupes us With sham quotations peri hupsos, And if we have not read Longinus, Will magisterially outshine us. Then, lest with Greek he over-run ye, Procure the book for love or money, Translated from Boileau's translation, And quote quotation on quotation.
Jonathan Swift
Image
A critic once characterized baseball as six minutes of action crammed into two-and-one-half hours.
Ray Fitzgerald
Image
I'm my own worst critic and I think everyone in the band is a perfectionist.
Adam Jones
Image
For all the years I'd spent talking about pictures, the truth was that I had no idea how to draw or what it felt like to do it. I would mistrust a poetry critic who couldn't produce a rhyming couplet. Could one write about art without knowing how to draw?
Adam Gopnik
Image
Cortissoz was art critic of the New York Herald Tribune.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
It's funny to be a critic.
Leslie Fiedler
Image
Recently, I took my son to see The Haunted Mansion, which was one of the worst things (I hesitate even to call it a movie) that I have ever seen. He thought it was better than Finding Nemo and we had a fruitless argument which I'm sure made him acutely aware of the disadvantages of having a film critic for a dad.
A. O. Scott
Image
The average man, if he meddles with criticism at all, is a conservative critic.
A. E. Housman
Image
Five years ago, I wasn't getting questions [about blogs and the internet] from the TV/radio critic of the New York Times.
Joe Buck
Image
Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
