“Religion, a mediaeval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today. I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity. 'Respect for religion' has become a code phrase meaning 'fear of religion.' Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.” HeartArtIdeasRealTodayFormForceReligiousLibertyModernDeserveConsequenceCriticismThreatIslamStupidityTyrannyFearlessCodeParisPhrasesTragicSatireTotalitarianismDishonestyCharlieDisrespectMutationWeaponryCharlie Hebdo Author:Salman Rushdie
“There are some movies that deserve criticism. They want people to know that it's a great dramatic accomplishment and has some great performances in it. But, c'mon. Yes, you will have some fun if you go see 'Snakes on a Plane.' Snakes are biting people - and they're biting them right on screen. There's nothing to review. It's not 'Snakes on the Waterfront.'

“A good book deserves an active reading. The activity of reading does not stop with the work of understanding what a book says. It must be completed by the work of criticism, the work of judging. The undemanding reader fails to satisfy this requirement, probably even more than he fails to analyze and interpret. He not only makes no effort to understand; he also dismisses a book simply by putting it aside and forgetting it. Worse than faintly praising it, he damns it by giving it no critical consideration whatever.” GivingDoeBookReadingUnderstandingForgetEffortFailingJudgingReaderActivityDeserveCriticismPraiseCriticalActiveConsiderationRequirementsGood Book Author:Mortimer Adler
“Those who have chosen the path of least resistance in life, who cannot bear to bring themselves to make a stern value-judgment in criticism of their own most intimate feelings, achieve what they deserve: not self-understanding but radical self-superficialization, not a discovered but a self-ascribed identity that explains nothing, reveals nothing, means nothing, and ultimately accomplishes nothing culturally or intellectually.” ThinkingMeanSelfFeelingsValuesUnderstandingPathAchieveIdentityBearsJudgmentDeserveCriticismAccomplishChosenResistanceRadicalIntimateSelf UnderstandingPath Of Least ResistanceAccomplish Nothing Author:Kenny Smith
