“In living literature no person is a competent judge but of works written in his own language.”
François-René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848) French writer, politician, diplomat and historian
Sketches of English Literature, Vol II, p. 36 http://books.google.com/books?id=V9AtAAAAYAAJ, as translated by Henry Colburn <br class="br">Context: In living literature no person is a competent judge but of works written in his own language. I have expressed my opinion concerning a number of English writers; it is very possible that I may be mistaken, that my admiration and my censure may be equally misplaced, and that my conclusions may appear impertinent and ridiculous on the other side of the Channel.

“His indivisibility judges their hedging and trimming. His honesty judges their watchfulness.”
Martin Amis (1949) Welsh novelist
"Political Correctness: Robert Bly and Philip Larkin" (1997)
Context: A life is one kind of biography and the letters are another kind of life, but the internal story, the true story is in the Collected Poems. The recent attempts by Motion and others to pass judgement on Larkin look awfully green and pale, compared with the self-examinations of the poetry. They think they judge him? No, he judges them. His indivisibility judges their hedging and trimming. His honesty judges their watchfulness.
