Penny/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or criticism:

“With one hand he put
A penny in the urn of poverty,
And with the other took a shilling out.”
—Robert Pollok (1798–1827)

“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
