Criticism Quotes
-
All the criticism and all of the praise, it doesn't - it's not worth the salt that goes on my bread, because TV is fickle. You can be loved one day and hated the next day. One day, you're getting an award. And the next day, you're getting a death threat.
Nancy Grace

You try to shut the criticism out, but it's pretty hard to do. You see people on the street, friends, people that you know are in your corner, and they come and tell you how bad they feel, and that's not the kind of conversation you want. I don't want anyone to feel bad for me.
Don Shula

Let's define the word, what racist is - 'A person who believes that their race to be superior to another's.' I've never advocated that.

Pauline Hanson

T. S. Eliot
-
The criticism is, once I get something flying, I lose interest in it.

I'm a piece of work, man. I will do what I want, at all times, always. Nobody's going to persuade me one way or another. I can't be persuaded.
