It might be added that the concept 'doctrines of men' [WCF 1.10] now arguably includes behaviourism, pragmatism, dynamic equivalence, and modern textual criticism. ~ J. Cammenga
Textual Criticism quotes by J. Cammenga
At bottom, textual criticism for virtually all other ancient literature relies on creative conjectures, or imaginative guesses, at reconstructing the wording of the original. Not so with the New Testament. ~ Daniel B. Wallace
Textual Criticism quotes by Daniel B. Wallace
Orthodox Christians must not stoop to conquer. ~ Edward F. Hills
Textual Criticism quotes by Edward F. Hills
First of all I will confess quite simply - I believe that the Bible alone is the answer to all our questions, and that we need only to ask repeatedly and a little humbly, in order to receive this answer. One cannot simply read the Bible, like other books. One must be prepared really to enquire of it. Only thus will it reveal itself. Only if we expect from it the ultimate answer, shall we receive it. That is because in the Bible God speaks to us. And one cannot simply think about God in one's own strength, one has to enquire of him. Only if we seek him, will he answer us. Of course it is also possible to read the Bible like any other book, that is to say from the point of view of textual criticism, etc.; there is nothing to be said against that. Only that that is not the method which will reveal to us the heart of the Bible, but only the surface, just as we do not grasp the words of someone we love by taking them to bits, but by simply receiving them, so that for days they go on lingering in our minds, simply because they are the words of a person we love; and just as these words reveal more and more of the person who said them as we go on, like Mary, "pondering them in our heart," so it will be with the words of the Bible. Only if we will venture to enter into the words of the Bible, as though in them this God were speaking to us who loves us and does not will to leave us along with our questions, only so shall we learn to rejoice in the Bible. . . . ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Textual Criticism quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I wouldn't be worth my salt if I weren't attracting some controversy and criticism. Everyone in the world who has done something in life has attracted criticism. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Textual Criticism quotes by Margaret Thatcher
All moralistic judgments, whether positive or negative, are tragic expressions of unmet needs. ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Textual Criticism quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
What a splendid thing is literature, what a splendid thing! It strengthens and instructs the heart of man. Literature is a sort of picture. It connotes at once passion, expression, fine criticism, good learning, and a document. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Textual Criticism quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
He did gradually start to wonder why all their classroom discussions were so abstract and lacking in textual detail, and eventually he realised that most people were not actually doing the reading. They were coming into college every day to have heated debates about books they had not read. He understands now that his classmates are not like him. It's easy for them to have opinions, and to express them with confidence. They don't worry about appearing ignorant or conceited. ~ Sally Rooney
Textual Criticism quotes by Sally Rooney
The Church being what she is cannot have the instincts of a gentleman. ~ George Everett Macdonald
Textual Criticism quotes by George Everett Macdonald
For the achiever the battle with critics is a slow war of attrition. Let time do the dirty work for you. ~ Bryant McGill
Textual Criticism quotes by Bryant McGill
Art is the expression that the soul makes without having to explain itself, nor regard the criticism of others.

Reed Abbitt Moore ~ Reed Abbitt Moore
Textual Criticism quotes by Reed Abbitt Moore
Like James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Woolf 's first novel is a self-conscious meditation on the formation of an emergent intellectual and artist (a Ku¨nstlerroman). ~ Jane Goldman
Textual Criticism quotes by Jane Goldman
When we refuse to work with our disappointment, we break the Precepts: rather than experience the disappointment, we resort to anger, greed, gossip, criticism. Yet it's the moment of being that disappointment which is fruitful; and, if we are not willing to do that, at least we should notice that we are not willing. The moment of disappointment in life is an incomparable gift that we receive many times a day if we're alert. This gift is always present in anyone's life, that moment when 'It's not the way I want it! ~ Charlotte Joko Beck
Textual Criticism quotes by Charlotte Joko Beck
When I was first painting the Monopoly guy I received a criticism. People said, "You're just painting cartoon characters, anyone can do that," but I'm actually a very skilled artist. That's why I released a Jack Nicholson portrait right after that that was very detailed in the face to show my skills. ~ Alec Monopoly
Textual Criticism quotes by Alec Monopoly
No one ever accepts criticism so cheerfully. Neither the man who utters it nor the man who invites it really means it. ~ R.K. Narayan
Textual Criticism quotes by R.K. Narayan
The climatically inefficient and economically disastrous Kyoto Protocol, based on IPCC projections, was correctly defined by President George W. Bush as "fatally flawed". This criticism was recently followed by the President of Russia Vladimir V. Putin. I hope that their rational views might save the world from enormous damage that could be induced by implementing recommendations based on distorted science. ~ Zbigniew Jaworowski
Textual Criticism quotes by Zbigniew Jaworowski
This does not happen overnight, of course. It takes years of reflection. It requires disciplined prayer, Bible study and reading, innumerable conversations with friends, and dynamic congregational worship. But unlike learning other thinkers or authors, Jesus's Spirit can come and live within you and spiritually illuminate your heart, so that his gospel becomes glorious in your sight. Then the gospel "dwells in your hearts richly" (Colossians 3:16), and we find the power to serve, to give and take criticism well, to not expect our spouse or our marriage to meet all our needs and heal all our hurts. ~ Timothy Keller
Textual Criticism quotes by Timothy Keller
I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors. ~ Robert W. Service
Textual Criticism quotes by Robert W. Service
Part of what Milton valued in a good book then was contact with the mind of an author rendered otherwise inaccessible by distance or time. Such contact is precisely what much modern and postmodern criticism insists we cannot have. Perhaps a secular world view inevitably leads to a universe in which a text is merely a playing field for the reader's own intellectual athleticism. Perhaps only a Christian view (such as Milton's) of the imago descending from God to author to text can preserve the writing of literature as an act of communication. ~ Leland Ryken
Textual Criticism quotes by Leland Ryken
They were queen bitches and it seemed everyone and everything they knew and everyone and everything they didn't know deserved some kind of criticism. ~ S.A. Tawks
Textual Criticism quotes by S.A. Tawks
All truth is valuable, and satirical criticism may be considered as useful when it rectifies error and improves judgment; he that refines the public taste is a public benefactor. ~ Samuel Johnson
Textual Criticism quotes by Samuel Johnson
Criticism is the weapon of the lesser human - it's the weapon of the creature that's incapable of original thinking and original action. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Textual Criticism quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Criticism per se does not worry me. I've always solicited it as part of the design process. ~ Rem Koolhaas
Textual Criticism quotes by Rem Koolhaas
I'm always very careful to make the distinction between music criticism and music journalism. A lot of people don't. But criticism doesn't require reporting. You can write criticism at home in your underwear. On the other hand, journalism takes legwork - you have to get out there and see things and talk to people. ~ Michael Azerrad
Textual Criticism quotes by Michael Azerrad
A public that tries to do without criticism, and asserts that it knows what it wants or likes, brutalizes the arts and loses its cultural memory. Art for art's sake is a retreat from criticism which ends in an impoverishment of civilized life itself. ~ Northrop Frye
Textual Criticism quotes by Northrop Frye
The opinion of the great body of the reading public is very materially influenced even by the unsupported assertions of those who assume a right to criticize. ~ Thomas B. Macaulay
Textual Criticism quotes by Thomas B. Macaulay
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe you were wrong? Maybe, you only saw your point of view and you never once put yourself in the other person's shoes. Maybe, walking away from the senseless drama and spiteful criticism isn't the best thing to do. Maybe, for just once in your life you could wear another person's confusion, pain or misunderstanding. Maybe, your future doesn't require explaining yourself or offering an explanation for your indifference, but your character and reputation does. What if one day you find out that you didn't have all the information you thought you did? What if you find out that your presence was needed for healing? What if you only knew half of it and the other half was just your fear and anger translating everything you experienced? What if you were wrong? What if the same thing happened to you? ~ Shannon L. Alder
Textual Criticism quotes by Shannon L. Alder
It's important to take criticism seriously - not personally. ~ Hillary Clinton
Textual Criticism quotes by Hillary Clinton
An artist needs the best studio instruction, the most rigorous demands, and the toughest criticism in order to tune up his sensibilities. ~ Wayne Thiebaud
Textual Criticism quotes by Wayne Thiebaud
The fatal misconception behind brainstorming is that there is a particular script we should all follow in group interactions ... [W]hen the composition of the group is right - enough people with different perspectives running into one another in unpredictable ways - the group dynamic will take care of itself. All these errant discussions add up. In fact, they may even be the most essential part of the creative process. Although such conversations will occasionally be unpleasant - not everyone is always in the mood for small talk or criticism - that doesn't mean that they can be avoided. The most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks. ~ Jonah Lehrer
Textual Criticism quotes by Jonah Lehrer
Shakespeare is getting flyblown; a paternal government might well forbid writing about him, as they put his monument at Stratford beyond the reach of scribbling fingers. With all this buzz of criticism about, one may hazard one's conjectures privately, make one's notes in the margin; but, knowing that someone has said it before, or said it better, the zest is gone. Illness, it its kingly sublimity, sweeps all that aside and leaves nothing but Shakespeare and oneself. ~ Virginia Woolf
Textual Criticism quotes by Virginia Woolf
psychological research clearly shows that people who feel underappreciated tend to resent criticism and ignore the advice they're given. ~ Robert Maurer
Textual Criticism quotes by Robert Maurer
Perhaps vaguely aware that his movie so completely lacks gravitas, Moore concludes with a sonorous reading of some words from George Orwell. The words are taken from 1984 and consist of a third-person analysis of a hypothetical, endless and contrived war between three superpowers. The clear intention, as clumsily excerpted like this (...), is to suggest that there is no moral distinction between the United States, the Taliban and the Ba'ath Party, and that the war against jihad is about nothing. If Moore had studied a bit more, or at all, he could have read Orwell really saying, and in his own voice, the following:
The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States…
And that's just from Orwell's Notes on Nationalism in May 1945. A short word of advice: In general, it's highly unwise to quote Orwell if you are already way out of your depth on the question of moral equivalen ~ Christopher Hitchens
Textual Criticism quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I think that criticism is unjustified. It's a cute term, but noone shouldn't be criticized for who he is. ~ Jeremiah Wright
Textual Criticism quotes by Jeremiah Wright
Mrs. Jones had invited a great and well-known violinist to entertain at her afternoon tea. When it was all over, everyone crowded around the musician. "I've got to be honest with you," one of the guests said, "I think your performance was absolutely terrible." Hearing his criticism, the hostess interposed: "Don't pay any attention to him. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He only repeats what he hears everyone else say." I'm ~ John C. Maxwell
Textual Criticism quotes by John C. Maxwell
In criticism, I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Textual Criticism quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
If there's a criticism of 'Cassadaga' that I agreed with, it's that we left things in the oven too long, that songs were overstuffed, with too many ideas competing for space. ~ Conor Oberst
Textual Criticism quotes by Conor Oberst
Consciousness is the materia poetica that Shakespeare sculpts as Michelangelo sculpts marble. We feel the consciousness of Hamlet or Iago, and our own consciousness strangely expands. ~ Harold Bloom
Textual Criticism quotes by Harold Bloom
Just as no monkey is as good-looking as the ugliest of humans, no academic is worthier than the worst of the creators ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Textual Criticism quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Practical jokes are a demonstration that the distinction between seriousness and play is not a law of nature but a social convention which can be broken, and that a man does not always require a serious motive for deceiving another.

Two men, dressed as city employees, block off a busy street and start digging it up. The traffic cop, motorists and pedestrians assume that this familiar scene has a practical explanation – a water main or an electric cable is being repaired – and make no attempt to use the street. In fact, however, the two diggers are private citizens in disguise who have no business there.

All practical jokes are anti-social acts, but this does not necessarily mean that all practical jokes are immoral. A moral practical joke exposes some flaw of society which is hindrance to a real community or brotherhood. That it should be possible for two private individuals to dig up a street without being stopped is a just criticism of the impersonal life of a large city where most people are strangers to each other, not brothers; in a village where all inhabitants know each other personally, the deception would be impossible. ~ W.H. Auden
Textual Criticism quotes by W.H. Auden
I'd never be where I am if more successful writers hadn't taken an interest in me and done me a good turn - be it chiming in with constructive criticism or giving me sound advice about my career plan. ~ Sara Sheridan
Textual Criticism quotes by Sara Sheridan
Persons of delicate taste endure stupid criticism better than they do stupid praise. ~ Philibert Joseph Roux
Textual Criticism quotes by Philibert Joseph Roux
In light of his criticism, maybe we need to reevaluate Jesus' commendation - and look more closely at our own church and our own lives. The church at Ephesus was a hardworking church, but without the hot fire of love for Christ, their work was simply a performance. The services were well planned, the pews were packed, and the pastor's sermons were polished, but Jesus says, "I miss the love you had at first." He misses the extravagance of love poured out; he misses the spontaneous expressions of praise; he misses the full sacrifice of their hearts. The ministry at the Ephesian church in your neighborhood is very impressive, but Jesus is not pleased. ~ Douglas Connelly
Textual Criticism quotes by Douglas Connelly
Remember that all is opinion. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Textual Criticism quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Male urination is a form of commentary. ~ Camille Paglia
Textual Criticism quotes by Camille Paglia
There is a fine line between fair criticism and jealous assault. ~ Fennel Hudson
Textual Criticism quotes by Fennel Hudson
If you genuinely believe that only the death of a loved one can motivate a human being to take up a cause ... then get your pathetic, cynical ass out of my way so I can do my job! ~ Mark Waid
Textual Criticism quotes by Mark Waid
if the opponent praises you … you will not believe, you will take it as sarcasm. And, if the opponent curses you and criticizes you, you will not only believe it, you will take it as if he had made a declaration over a notarized stamped paper. So granted and guaranteed. ~ Girdhar Joshi
Textual Criticism quotes by Girdhar Joshi
The danger of pride
I see increasingly how difficult it is to exercise authority in a community. We are so inclined to want authority for the honour, prestige and admiration that comes with it. Inside each of us is a little tyrant who wants power and the associated prestige, who wants to dominate, to be superior and to control. We are frightened of criticism. We feel we are the only ones to see the truth - and that, sometimes, in the name of God ... So the community becomes 'our' project.
... And Christians can sometimes hide these tendencies behind a mask of virtue, doing what they do for 'good' reasons. There is nothing more terrible than a tyrant using religion as his or her cover. I know my own tendencies toward this and I have to struggle against them constantly. ~ Jean Vanier
Textual Criticism quotes by Jean Vanier
