It is
from the womb of art that criticism was born.
-- Charles Baudelaire
1821-1867, French
Poet
To be
just, that is to say, to justify its existence,
criticism should be partial, passionate and
political, that is to say, written from an exclusive
point of view, but a point of view that opens up the
widest horizons.
-- Charles Baudelaire
1821-1867, French
Poet
A
negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than
praise, provided it smacks of jealousy.
-- Jean Baudrillard
French Postmodern
Philosopher, Writer
We
should not judge people by their peak of excellence;
but by the distance they have traveled from the
point where they started.
-- Henry Ward Beecher
1813-1887, American
