Letter "C" » Criticism
"When I read the rules of criticism, I immediately inquire after
the works of the author who has written them, and by that means
discover what it is he likes in a composition."
Author: Joseph Addison
About: Criticism
"He was in Logic, a great critic,
Profoundly skill'd in Analytic;
He could distinguish, and divide
A hair 'twixt south and south-west side."
Author: Samuel Butler (1)
About: Criticism
"A man must serve his time to every trade
Save censure–critics all are ready made.
Take hackney'd jokes from Miller, got by rote,
With just enough of learning to misquote;
A mind well skill'd to find or forge a fault;
A turn for punning, call it Attic salt;
To Jeffrey go, be silent and discreet,
His pay is just ten sterling pounds per sheet;
Fear not to lie, 'twill seem a lucky hit;
Shrink not from blasphemy, 'twill pass for wit;
Care not for feeling–pass your proper jest,
And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Criticism
"As soon
Seek roses in December–ice in June,
Hope, constancy in wind, or corn in chaff;
Believe a woman or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false, before
You trust in critics."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Criticism
"Said the pot to the kettle, "Get away, blackface."
[Sp., Dijo la sarten a la caldera, quitate alla ojinegra.]"
Author: Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra)
About: Criticism
"Who shall dispute what the Reviewers say?
Their word's sufficient; and to ask a reason,
In such a state as theirs, is downright treason."
Author: Charles Churchill
About: Criticism
"Though by whim, envy, or resentment led,
They damn those authors whom they never read."
Author: Charles Churchill
About: Criticism
"A servile race
Who, in mere want of fault, all merit place;
Who blind obedience pay to ancient schools,
Bigots to Greece, and slaves to musty rules."
Author: Charles Churchill
About: Criticism
"But, spite of all the criticising elves,
Those who would make us feel, must feel themselves."
Author: Charles Churchill
About: Criticism
"I criticize by creation–not by finding fault."
Author: Charles Churchill
