CRITICISM
FIRST MUSIC CRITIC—"I wasted a whole evening by going to that new pianist's concert last night!"
SECOND MUSIC CRITIC—"Why?"
FIRST MUSIC CRITIC—"His playing was above criticism!"
As soon
Seek roses in December—ice in June,
Hope, constancy in wind, or corn in chaff;
Believe a woman or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false, before
You trust in critics.
—Byron.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.—Disraeli.
