“Reviews are rolling in based on the first six episodes, and all 40 critics that have watched it have added up to a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. Perhaps not the biggest shock since season 1 had a 97% with over a hundred critics reporting.”— Paul Tassi, forbes.com

“It’s easier to be a critic than to produce work. So the only way to get to the end means is to start the domino effect. Which is essentially put out bad work.”— Virgil Abloh, 2x4.org
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of thi…”— Brad Bird, Anton Ego (voice), Peter O'Toole, imdb.com
“I am a huge Woody Allen fan. Although I've only seen 'Antz.' But I'll tell you something, what I respect about that man is that when he was going through all of that stuff that came out in the press, about how 'Antz' was just a ripoff of 'A Bug's Life,' he stayed true to his films. Or at least the f…”— B.J. Novak,, Michael Scott, Steve Carell, imdb.com
“It is not the critic who counts....The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid sou…”— Theodore Roosevelt, en.wikisource.org
“To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing.”— Theodore Roosevelt, theodore-roosevelt.com
“As usual, some of our critics—mostly unions in this case—took a shot at me for this idea. They said I was wrapping myself in the flag and pulling a typical Sam Walton promotion to hide the fact that we sell a lot of import goods. These folks, I’m afraid, are really living in the past. They don’t bel…”— Sam Walton, amazon.com

“It’s always funny to me when people talk trash to Youtubers and then are shocked when we respond. We are real people. We check our tweets!”— Matthew Santoro, twitter.com
“Research tells us that we judge people in areas where we're vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we're doing. If I feel good about my parenting, I have no interest in judging other people's choices. If I feel good about my body, I don't go around making fun of other…”— Brené Brown, amazon.com
“A lot of cheap seats in the arena are filled with people who never venture onto the floor. They just hurl mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs from a safe distance. The problem is, when we stop caring what people think and stop feeling hurt by cruelty, we lose our ability to connect. But when we’r…”— Brené Brown, amazon.com
“Pointing out other women’s flaws won’t ever, ever conceal yours. Also, it feels really shitty and we already have more than enough media and ignorance circulating the world, telling women how they should look as it is.”— Mandy Zucker, thoughtcatalog.com
“When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be. You may not want to hear it, but your critics are often the ones telling you they still love you and care about you, and want to make you better.”— Randy Pausch, amazon.com
