Galbraith Work

Famous quotes containing the words galbraith and/or work:

“There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
