A critic is a proverb

 A critic is a bundle of biases held loosely together by a sense of taste.

 Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
  Mahatma Gandhi

 We all have the same equipment; it's just a sense of describing. The misconception is you need to learn how to taste. It's more a sense of recognition than a sense of taste.

 I see the same biases surfacing, But to ignore the airport (as a way to reduce cars) doesn't make sense.

 Genius creates, and taste preserves. Taste is the good sense of genius; without taste, genius is only sublime folly.

 I have always been a critic of government policy. I was in government for more than five years. Before that I was a critic. Within the government I was a critic, pushing for reform and always at odds with power brokers within the party,

 We all have hometown appetites. Every other person is a bundle of longing for the simplicities of good taste once enjoyed on the farm or in the hometown [he or she] left behind.

 Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music -- his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting -- that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.
  Oscar Wilde

 The discovery of the good taste of bad taste can be very liberating. The man who insists on high and serious pleasures is depriving himself of pleasure; he continually restricts what he can enjoy; in the constant exercise of his good taste he will eventually price himself out of the market, so to speak. Here Camp taste supervenes upon good taste as a daring and witty hedonism. It makes the man of good taste cheerful, where before he ran the risk of being chronically frustrated. It is good for the digestion.
  Susan Sontag

 Common sense is just as good a critic of the lottery as any statistical breakdown

 It is certainly more of an incentive to bundle. It makes sense to keep the price the same. To say that you are under $100 (for cable, telephone and Internet) is pretty significant.

 It doesn't make sense to get out of that business. It's an important part of the solutions bundle. But don't think we didn't look at it (getting out of PC sales) carefully. We did.
  Carly Fiorina

 I make my living half as a critic, so I think that opinionated would be a good thing for a critic to be. And I think crankiness has some sort of connotation of individualism,

 The literary critic, or the critic of any other specific form of artistic expression, may detach himself from the world for as long as the work of art he is contemplating appears to do the same.
  Clive James

 Those who marry God can become domesticated too / it's just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word ''Love'' means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and ''Ave Maria '' like ''dearest'' is a phrase to open a letter. This marriage like the world's marriages was held together by habits and tastes shared in common between God and themselves / it was God's taste to be worshipped and their taste to worship, but only at stated hours like a suburban embrace on a Saturday night.
  Graham Greene
