Famous quotes containing the word critics:
“Some have at first for wits, then poets passed,
Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Some critics are like chimneysweepers; they put out the fire below, and frighten the swallows from the nests above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with soot, and bring nothing away but a bag of cinders, and then sing out from the top of the house, as if they had built it.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
