Quotes by James McNeill Whistler

I am not arguing with you - I am telling you.

I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.

I maintain that two and two would continue to make four, in spite of the whine of the ameteur for three, or the cry of the critic for five.

You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say, you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.
