A Quote by George Herbert

Critics are like brushers of noblemen's clothes. — © George Herbert
Critics are like brushers of noblemen's clothes.
Criticks are like brushers of Noblemens cloaths.
There are television critics, movie critics, and theater critics too who I like and who I follow and I get genuinely bummed when they don't like something that I've written because I usually agree with them.
When critics ask you if you feel vindicated by other critics - I didn't like critics then, and I don't like them now. There you go. I've always been outside the mainstream, and it stayed that way.
I truly love our Code of Chivalry. We are taught that noblemen must take everything and say nothing. Noblemen must stand alone. Well, we're men, and men aren't born to stand alone.
I don't make clothes for the critics.
I read reviews of critics I respect and feel I can learn something from. Right now there are a lot of bottom-feeder critics who just have access to a computer and don't necessarily have an academic or cinema background that I can detect, so I tend to ignore that and stay with the same top-tier critics that I've come to respect. I like reading a good review - it doesn't have to be favorable, but a well-thought-out one - because I very much appreciate the relationship of directors and critics.
I like to give great clothes. I only get kids clothes. And I know kids don't like clothes, but I like to get them clothes.
Critics kind never mind! Critics flatter no matter! Critics blame all the same! Do your best damn the rest!
The all importance of clothes has sprung up in the intellect of the dandy without effort, like an instinct of genius; he is inspired with clothes, a poet of clothes.
The liberal state is neutral between capitalism and its critics until the critics look like they are winning.
I'd love to have a 19th Century Russian book club where all the members had to act like the pretentious minor noblemen they were reading about.
I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.
Fashion is a good job for a young girl. I like clothes - I like to play with clothes. I like DIY; I like to make outfit.
As for critics, one mediocre writer is more valuable than ten good critics. They are like haughty, barren spinsters lodged in a maternity ward.
Nighttime dressing is not very different from daytime dressing for me. I feel like night clothes don't get a chance to live the way day clothes do, so I prefer to think of night clothes as day clothes.
I think women are concerned too much with their clothes. Men don't really care that much about women's clothes. If they like a girl, chances are they'll like her clothes.
