"I am always amused by the silly vanity of those writers and artists
of our day who seem to imagine that the primary function of the
critic is to chatter about their second-rate work. ...[The critic's]
sole aim is to chronicle his own impressions., It is for him that
pictures are painted, books written, and marble hewn into form."

The character Gilbert in "The Critic As Artist," (a dialogue), Oscar
Wilde, 1891.
