  • Claremont Institute "Oddly, McCullough has almost nothing to say about Adams's political thought."

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    ... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
