“The Oscar gap that exists between the academy and its audience isn't snobbery or liberal elitism as much as it reflects a different grading scale. Most moviegoers look for entertainment, while the academy looks for art.”
Matthew Felling
“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“It's a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.”
Albert Camus
“His hatred of snobs was a derivative of his snobbishness, but made the simpletons (in other words, everyone) believe that he was immune from snobbishness”
Marcel Proust
“Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.”
Cary Grant
“We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.”
Mike Shinoda
“Snobbery exists in all areas of life, not least literary criticism. By snobbery I mean, any method of judging someone or something whereby you latch on to one or two features about them/it, and use these to come to a definitive, immovable judgement. In intellectual matters, the snob will often take the external features of a work as a guide to its value.”
Alain de Botton
