Words To Live By: “The Duty of Criticism”

lanselmi, , , , , , 
"The duty of criticism 
is neither to depreciate nor dignify 
by partial representations,
but to hold out the light of reason, 
whatever it may discover; 
and to promulgate 
the determinations of truth, 
whatever she shall dictate."

~~ Samuel Johnson, The Rambler #93, February 5, 1751
