Famous quotes containing the word critics:

—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“There are hardly five critics in America; and several of them are asleep.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Neither can I do anything to please critics belonging to the good old school of “projected biography,” who examine an author’s work, which they do not understand, through the prism of his life, which they do not know.”
