Criticism is toothless. If it had any real power to harm, the skunk would have been extinct by now.
Criticism is showing the object of criticism as beautiful, as magnificent. One has to love what they criticize and give it a new beauty, as 'good destruction requires love'.
Criticism is not denunciation, but working your way back to those problems which an author of genius has posed, all the way back to that which he does not say in what he says, in order to extract something that still belongs to him, though you also turn it against him.
Criticism is best ignored — If it's untrue, disregard it; if it's unfair, keep from irritation; if it's ignorant, smile; if it's justified, learn from it.
