I had to produce a complete page - or two or three - in one day. I took a lot of pride in my work, and I hated to do a mediocre job. Evidently, some of the writers enjoyed my work best of all for that very reason. (Joe Shuster)

Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.

Henry David Thoreau

Some people insist that "mediocre” is better than "best.” They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none. Pfah!

Emma Thompson

It is a thing of no great difficulty to raise objections against another man's oration nay, it is a very easy matter but to produce a better in its place is a work extremely troublesome.

Plutarch

I've encountered a lot of people who sound like critics but very few who have substantive criticisms. There is a lot of skepticism, but it seems to be more a matter of inertia than it is of people having some real reason for thinking something else.
