Critics are to authors ordspråk

Critics are to authors what dogs are to lamp-posts.

Jeffrey Robinson

Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp post how it feels about dogs

Ann Landers (1918-2002)

Ann Landers

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton (1946-)

Christopher Hampton

He uses statistics like a drunk uses lamp-posts, more for support than illumination.

An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.

I just long for the day when I wake up and find that the Saudi royal family are swinging from lamp-posts.

Without the oil, how can the lamp be lit? Let the reading of your prayer book be the oil, and let the Fear of God be the wick for the lamp of this body. Light this lamp with the understanding of Truth. Use this oil to light this lamp. Light it, and meet your Lord and Master.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shed

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)

This tool is extremely useful to our authors. It enables them to better manage themselves and their publishing efforts. It supplies our authors with immediate feedback and data, and, with that, power to govern their own productivity. The Author Control Panel frees up our authors so they can better focus on doing what they do best—sharing their expertise through writing.

The idea of copyright did not exist in ancient times, when authors frequently copied other authors at length in works of non-fiction. This practice was useful, and is the only way many authors' works have survived even in part.

Richard Stallman

In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?

Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898)

[Don't take critics seriously. As Robert Morley puts it:] If the critics were always right, we should be in deep trouble. ... Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has even been put up to a critic.

Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)

Jean Sibelius

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging of the future but by the past.

Edward Gibbon (1737-1794)
