Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or anthropology:

    “However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “History is, strictly speaking, the study of questions; the study of answers belongs to anthropology and sociology.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
