    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “A tailor can adapt to any medium, be it poetry, be it criticism. As a poet, he can mend, and with the scissors of criticism he can divide.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
