Higher Criticism

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or criticism:

    There is one thing higher than Royalty: and that is religion, which causes us to leave the world, and seek God.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
