Quote by Jean de la Bruyere
The pleasure we feel in criticizing robs us from being moved by very beautiful things.
Summary
This quote suggests that by indulging too much in criticizing and finding fault in things, we not only diminish our ability to appreciate and be moved by beautiful things, but we also derive a sense of pleasure from the act of criticism itself. It implies that constantly seeking flaws and being overly critical creates a barrier to experiencing true beauty and genuine emotions, as our focus becomes primarily fixated on finding and pointing out faults rather than embracing the positive and moving aspects of the world around us.
