Just be quiet and accept the praise.
You gotta learn how to take a compliment, because I'm not going to stop making them.
Magnanimity is sufficiently defined by its name, nevertheless one can say it is the good sense of pride, the most noble way of receiving praise.
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
When you get praise from someone that you really admire it's really surreal.
From the bottom of my heart, I've always found compliments hard to take. It makes me feel awkward.
Praise will come to those whose kindness leaves you without debt.
I suspect that most authors don't really want criticism, not even constructive criticism. They want straight-out, unabashed, unashamed, fulsome, informed, naked praise, arriving by the shipload every fifteen minutes or so.
When someone is complimenting you, they are sharing how your actions or behaviors impacted them. They are not asking if you agree.
Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always take you by surprise, and me never.
