Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or history:

    “Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
    —Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)

    “Don’t you realize that this is a new empire? Why, folks, there’s never been anything like this since creation. Creation, huh, that took six days, this was done in one. History made in an hour. Why it’s a miracle out of the Old Testament!”
    —Howard Estabrook (1884–1978)
