Marcel Proust
“We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.”
Yves Saint Laurent
“Ah, beware of snobbery; it is the unwelcome recognition of one's own past failings.”
Cary Grant
“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
