Criticism

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “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)

    “As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
    —John Vorster (1915–1983)

    “... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
