T.S. Eliot says:

"A poet ought to know as much as will not encroach upon his necessary receptivity and necessary laziness." Exactly! I'll have to remember that if I get really stuck in my exams.

But also: "that most dangerous kind of critic: the critic with a mind which is naturally of the creative order, but which through some weakness in creative power exercises itself in criticism instead." Uh-oh!
