Hardly
a book of human worth, be it heaven's own secret, is
honestly placed before the reader; it is either
shunned, given a Periclean funeral oration in a
hundred and fifty words, or interred in the potter's
field of the newspapers back pages.
-- Edward Dahlberg
1900-1977, American
Author, Critic
It is
very perplexing how an intrepid frontier people, who
fought a wilderness, floods, tornadoes, and the
Rockies, cower before criticism, which is regarded
as a malignant tumor in the imagination.
-- Edward Dahlberg
1900-1977, American
Author, Critic
Recognize the cunning man not by the corpses he pays
homage to but by the living writers he conspires
against with the most shameful weapon, Silence, or
the briefest review.
-- Edward Dahlberg
1900-1977, American
Author, Critic
People
want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat.
They want you miserable, just like them. They don't
want heroes; what they want is to see you fall.
-- Leonardo DiCaprio
1974-, American Actor
