Famous quotes containing the words modern, literary and/or criticism:

    I may be old-fashioned. I don’t like this modern movement.... And yet, there are certain sorts of work a woman may well do; teaching, being governess, or any taking care of children.
    Julia Dent Grant (1826–1902)

    In general I do not draw well with literary men—not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    ...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.
    Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
