A Quote by Henry Blodget

Pornography works to a degree, high quality works, bad is obvious. Nobody goes for bad. The terrible middle ground is the mediocre. That was kind of the essence, in a way, of broadcast television when there were only three channels.

There's too much bad. The worst is mediocre. Bad is easy. There's high quality, there's pornography, and then there's bad.

Henry Blodget

Virtually every subject is most effectively learned directly from the greatest thinkers, historians, artists, philosophers, scientists, prophets and their original works. Great works inspire greatness. Mediocre or poor works inspire mediocre or poor learning. The great accomplishments of humanity are the key to quality education.

Oliver DeMille

For notwithstanding this rest and cessation from labor which is required on the Lord's day, yet three sorts of works may and ought to be performed. . . . these are works of piety, works of necessity, and works of charity.

Ezekiel Hopkins

I want to be involved in things I can be really proud of. There's a lot of bad films being made and I don't understand how they got the money for it. That said, there's a lot of bad telly, but there's also a lot of very high quality that is something I'd be much more proud of than a mediocre film.

Aisling Loftus

I've seen a lot of patriots and they all died just like anybody else if it hurt bad enough and once they were dead their patriotism was only good for legends; it was bad for their prose and made them write bad poetry. If you are going to be a great patriot i.e. loyal to any existing order of government (not one who wishes to destroy the existing for something better) you want to be killed early if your life and works won't stink.

Ernest Hemingway

I hold that we have a very imperfect knowledge of the works of nature till we view them as works of God,— not only as works of mechanism, but works of intelligence, not only as under laws, but under a Lawgiver, wise and good.

James McCosh

Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

Charles Spurgeon

The way the media cycle works, the way the news works, and the way people's attention span works, is that we only learn that people exist when there is crisis.

Edwidge Danticat

We sometimes received - and I would read - 200 manuscripts a week. Some of them were wonderful, some were terrible; most were mediocre. It was like the gifts of the good and bad fairies.

Marilyn Hacker

People underestimate the degree to which only having three or four channels changes your outlook on television; it makes everything much more memorable because there are so few other options.

Paul Sinha

Marches work, rallies work, civil disobedience works, direct action works, voting works, writing letters works, speaking to churches and schools works, rioting works.

Cleve Jones

The good television of today is probably better than the best television of the old days. The bad television of today is worse. It is not only bad - it is damaging, meretricious, seedy and cynical.

John Humphrys

Love's pure free joy when it works, but when it goes bad you pay for the good hours at loan-shark prices.

David Mitchell

A man who works evil against another works it really against himself, and bad advice is worst for the one who devised it

Hesiod

Most of us want to have enough... good works to get into heaven, but enough bad works to be fun.

Rick Warren

I adored 'Breaking The Waves,' so when Lars von Trier wanted me in 'Dogville,' I was beside myself with joy. He works in a way that nobody I've ever worked with works.

Lauren Bacall
