Faulkner/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or criticism:

    Agnes: A half-smart guy, that’s what I always draw. Never once a man who’s smart all the way around the course. Never once.
    Philip Marlowe: I hurt you much, sugar?
    Agnes: You and every other man I’ve ever met.
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
