Criticism Quotations
Criticism is an important part of writing. It helps us improve and understand what others are seeing that we aren't. If it weren't for criticism, it would be difficult for us to understand what can be done to better our writing and what people want to see out of us. At times, it can be hard to take brutal honesty, but if we want to become better people and better writers, we must take it and work on it. Don't take it as an insult, take it as something that simply can be improved upon with hard work and dedication.
These criticism quotes by famous writers listed below are for all the authors out there.
