Faulkner/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words faulkner and/or criticism:

    Who are you, and what do you get out of this? Just a guy who’s paid to do other people’s laundry.
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)

    When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
