Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.
Works of art are of an infinite solitude, and no means of approach is so useless as criticism.[Kunst-Werke sind von einer unendlichen Einsamkeit und mit nichts so wenig erreichbar als mit Kritik.]
Too much is written by the men who can’t write about the men who do write.
There is no just and serene criticism as yet.
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision NOT TO WORRY about what other people think, do, or say.
Against criticism a man can neither protest nor defend himself; he must act in spite of it, and then criticism will gradually yield to him.
