Criticism
Winter's law is not taken for granted by all specialists in Balto-Slavic historical linguistics. A study of counter-evidences led Patri (2006) to conclude that there is no law at all.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
