Famous quotes containing the word critics:
“It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one’s children will become than for the children one’s “mature” critics often are.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)

“I don’t like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can’t do it.”
