The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things

This quote by Jean de La Bruyère suggests that the act of constantly criticizing and finding fault with things around us detracts from our ability to genuinely appreciate and be emotionally touched by the beauty and excellence present in certain things. Engaging in excessive criticism diminishes our capacity to experience the pure joy and admiration that comes from being moved by truly exceptional experiences or creations.
