Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or response:

    “The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.”
    —A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)

    “The truth is that literature, particularly fiction, is not the pure medium we sometimes assume it to be. Response to it is affected by things other than its own intrinsic quality; by a curiosity or lack of it about the people it deals with, their outlook, their way of life.”
    —Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
