Quote by Ernest Hemingway
One battle doesn't make a campaign but critics treat one book, good or bad, like a whole goddamn war.
Summary
This quote highlights the tendency of critics to judge an artist or writer based on just one piece of their work, as if it represents their entire body of creative output. It suggests that critics often have a narrow perspective and fail to consider the wider context or evolution of an artist's career. The quote implies that one should not rely solely on the assessment of a single work to form an opinion about an artist, as it is unfair to attribute too much significance to one battle in the larger scope of a campaign.
