Thought of the Day

Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to critics, and have imagined them to be men of much greater profundity than they really are.

Henry Fielding
English dramatist & novelist (1707 - 1754)

Pay no attention to what the critics say. . . Remember, a statue has never been set up in honor of a critic!

Jean Sibelius
quoted in Bengt de Torne "Sibelius: A Close-Up" 1937
Finnish composer & patriot (1865 - 1957)
