The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.
Wim Wenders
The dread of criticism is the death of genius.
William Gilmore Simms
The English can be a very critical, unforgiving people, but criticism can be good. And this is a country that loves comedy.
Bjork
The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.
Elbert Hubbard
The German national character is a favorite subject of character experts, probably because the less mature a nation, the more she is an object of criticism and not of history.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.
Walter Benjamin
The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.
Wole Soyinka
The important thing to me is that I'm not driven by people's praise and I'm not slowed down by people's criticism. I'm just trying to work at the highest level I can.
Russell Crowe

The other part of our proposal that gets the 'dittoheads' upset is our suggestion that the commercial radio station owners either play by the rules or pay.

Mark Lloyd
The point of literary criticism in anthropology is not to replace research, but to find out how it is that we are persuasive.

The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.
Charles Buxton
The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The supposed inferiority of a constructed language to a national one on the score of richness of connotation is, of course, no criticism of the idea of a constructed language.
Edward Sapir
The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
Robert E. Lee
The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
Norman Vincent Peale
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
The worst censors are those prohibiting criticism of the theory of evolution in the classroom.
Phyllis Schlafly
Their is no defense against criticism except obscurity.
Joseph Addison
