Top 9 Brigid Brophy Quotes (2025 Update)

Brigid Brophy Quote: “To us it seems incredible that the Greek philosophers should have scanned so deeply into right and wrong and yet never noticed the immorality of slavery. Perhaps 3000 years from now it will seem equally incredible that we do not notice the immorality of our own oppression of animals.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “Whenever people say, ‘We mustn’t be sentimental,’ you can take it they are about to do something cruel. And if they add, ‘We must be realistic,’ they mean they are going to make money out of it.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “A medical profession founded on callousness to the pain of the other animals may eventually destroy its own sensibility to the pain of humans.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “We Irish had the right word on the tip of our tongue, but the imperialist got at that. What should trip off it we trip over.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “The popular distinction between ‘constructive’ and ‘destructive’ criticism is a sentimentality: the mind too weak to perceive in what respects the bad fails is not strong enough to appreciate in what the good succeeds. To be without discrimination is to be unable to praise. The critic who lets you know that he always looks for something to like in works he discusses is not telling you anything about the works or about art; he is saying ’see what a nice person I am.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “Sentimentalist” is the abuse with which people counter the accusation that they are cruel, thereby implying that to be sentimental is worse than to be cruel, which it isn’t.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “The fact that there are bigger injustices and wrongs doesn’t make it right to sacrifice an innocent monkey. It doesn’t alter the case at all.”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “The thriller is the cardinal twentieth-century form. All it, like the twentieth century, wants to know is: Who’s Guilty?”
Brigid Brophy Quote: “The bull-fighter has merely demonstrated that he is a butcher with balletic tendencies.”
