Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
    —John Vorster (1915–1983)

    “It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
