I'd like to emphasize that when a reader finishes a great novel, he will immediately begin looking for another. If someone loves your book, it increases the chance that he or she will look at mine. So there is no competition between writers. Another writer's success helps build a larger readership for all of us. ↗

The more we refuse to buy into our inner critics - and our external ones too - the easier it will get to have confidence in our choices, and to feel comfortable with who we are - as women and as mothers. ↗

As you begin your tour of the United States, you may as well know that one American national trait which irritates many Americans and must be convenient for our critics is that we relentlessly advertise our imperfections. ↗

Some critics of my work took the view that a satirist should defer to the finer feelings of his readers and respect widely held beliefs. ↗

When critics are waiting to pounce upon poetic style on exactly the same grounds as if it were prose, the poets tremble. ↗
