Barren, barren and trivial are these words. But not barren the experience.

Olaf Stapledon

I've never been competitive with other actors. I've been competitive with myself and I'm my own worst critic, a terrible critic I am, and unless I get something right, I feel very unhappy.

Michael Caine

Paradoxically, the simpler poetry is, the more difficult it becomes for a critic to discuss intelligently. Trained to explicate, the critic often loses the ability to evaluate literature outside the critical act. A work is good only in proportion to the richness and complexity of interpretations it provokes.

Dana Gioia

I believe in the Creator. I don't believe the creator is God. If you change G-O-D the other way, it becomes dog.

Femi Kuti

For truly barren is profane education, which is always in labor but never gives birth. For what fruit worthy of such pangs does philosophy show for being so long in labor? Do not all who are full of wind and never come to term miscarry before they come to the light of the knowledge of God, although they could as well become men if they were not altogether hidden in the womb of barren wisdom?

Gregory of Nyssa

Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everybody wants to be a critic: a critic without the actual accolades to be a critic.

Bobby Lashley

I do not pay any heed to the negative thoughts, I just go with the plan my team gives me.

Babar Azam

It seemed to me that I now saw the Star Maker in two aspects: as the spirit's particular creative mood that had given rise to me, the cosmos; and also, most dreadfully, as something incomparably greater than creativity, namely as the eternally achieved perfection of the absolute spirit. Barren, barren and trivial are these words. But not barren the experience.

Olaf Stapledon

When women reassert their relationship with the wildish nature, they are gifted with a permanent and internal watcher, a knower, a visionary, an oracle, an inspiratrice, an intuitive, a maker, a creator, an inventor, and a listener who guide, suggest, and urge vibrant life in the inner and outer world.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

There'll be creative business leaders but actually, when it comes down to it, they can't do anything unless they're part of a collective. Unless they've got that wealth creator, that engineer and that work person, that skilled person at the bench to fulfil that idea... they're nothing.

John McDonnell

I pay heed to all the criticisms about me. Paying heed to them is a sure way of improving. It is a learning experience.

Koel Mallick

Never answer a critic, unless he's right.

Bernard Baruch

One rule which woe betides the banker who fails to heed it/Never lend any money to anybody unless they don't need it.

Ogden Nash

The relationship we have with God is not the same over a life; sometimes, as with human relationships, it goes through bad patches and sometimes it becomes very intense. It is a terrifying thing to have a relationship with one's creator, to spend one's life so that one is trying to converge with one's creator seems an extraordinarily difficult and sublime thing. But at the same time it's extremely simple. One of the things which perpetually amazes me is that at any moment or any day, anyone who is alive can talk with the creator of the cosmos.
