Penny/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or criticism:

    And not an hour ago you hadn’t a penny to warm your pocket. Did someone die and leave you a pot of gold?
    Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)

    The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
