Eloquence is a beautiful thing, but rhetoric ruins many a critic …
—“Ben Jonson”
… I think that the first duty of an art critic is to hold his tongue at all times, and upon all subjects.
—The English Renaissance of Art”
“What possible difference can it make to me what the New York Herald says? You go and look at the statue of the Venus de Milo and you know that it is an exquisitely beautiful creation. Would it change your opinion in the least if all the newspapers in the land should pronounce it a wretched caricature? Not at all. I know that I am right, that I have a mission to perform. I am indestructible!”
—Wilde, as quoted in conversation [OW]
