If Attila the Hun were alive today, he'd be a drama critic.
--
As quoted in Theater Week (1988); also in The Book of Poisonous Quotes (1993) edited by Colin Jarman, p. 100Edward Albee
A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.
Kenneth Tynan
Attila the Hun might have broken off his engagement to her, but nobody except Attila the Hun, and he only on one of his best mornings.
P. G. Wodehouse
As poets we do not ask permission before we begin to practise, for there is no authority to license us. We do not inquire whether it is still possible to pen a drama, for the answer to that question is ours alone to give. It is our drama, spoken or sung, that asserts our right to the title of poet. It is our decision that counts, and not the opinion of some theatre management, or the ponderings of the critic, or even the advice of our friendliest mentors.
James Fenton
Has anybody ever seen a drama critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good.
P. G. Wodehouse
The trade of critic, in literature, music, and the drama, is the most degraded of all trades.
