"When he looks back, the critic sees a eunuch's
shadow. Who would be a critic if he could be a
writer? ... Who would choose to be a literary critic
if he could set verse to sing, or compose, out of his
own mortal being, a vital fiction, a character that
will endure?"

--George Steiner, 'Humane Literacy'
