A lot of the work in United States is highly critical of technology. I'm using 15,000 watts of power and 18 different pieces of electronic equipment to say that.
I'd like Muslims to look at their religion as a set of beliefs that they can appraise critically and pick and choose from.
People really, really hate their religion being criticized. It's as though you've said they had an ugly face; they seem to identify personally with it.
Some critics of my work took the view that a satirist should defer to the finer feelings of his readers and respect widely held beliefs.
The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.
You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.

Civil and political rights are critical, but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.
Ironically, women who acquire power are more likely to be criticized for it than are the men who have always had it.
If there is no criticism, you become lazy. But it should be constructive, and it should be the truth. If it's biased and there's no truth in it, then I don't care about it. If it's true, it helps me grow.
I think it's critical that you feel you're working for a person who is committed to advancing your career.
Romanticism has never been properly judged. Who was there to judge it? The critics!
Criticism is something you can easily avoid — by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
I felt like some part of my soul was ripped out and put under a microscope for criticizing.
I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.
Preserving the 30-year prepayable fixed-rate mortgage - it's like the bedrock of the housing system - is critical.
