Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:

    “You took my heart in your hand
    With a friendly smile,
    With a critical eye you scanned,
    Then set it down,
    And said: It is still unripe,
    Better wait awhile;”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
