Famous quotes containing the word critics:

    You know what the critics are. If you tell the truth they only say you’re cynical and it does an author no good to get a reputation for cynicism.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    Critics generally come to be critics not by reason of their fitness for this, but of their unfitness for anything else. Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime, and counsel should be heard on both sides.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Nature, when she invented, manufactured, and patented her authors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
