To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons. – Charles Baudelaire
Few are there that will leave the secure seclusion of the scholars life, the peaceful walks of literature and learning, to stand out a target for the criticism of unkind and hostile minds. – Felix Adler
