“I criticize by creation, not by finding fault.”
“Whenever you are about to find fault with someone, ask yourself the following question: What fault of mine most nearly resembles the one I am about to criticize?”
“The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.”
“Critics are our friends, they show us our faults.”
“The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.”
“Criticism demands infinitely more culture than artistic creation.”
