“The measure of the creator is the amount of life he puts Into his work. The measure of the critic is the amount of life he finds there.”

Carl Van Doren (1885–1950) American biographer

The Roving Critic (1923), p. 20
Context: Neither creator nor critic can make himself universal by barely taking thought about it. He is what he lives. The measure of the creator is the amount of life he puts Into his work. The measure of the critic is the amount of life he finds there.
