Mediocrity Quotes

Take here the grand secret - if not of pleasing all, yet of displeasing none - court mediocrity, avoid originality, and sacrifice to fashion Picture Quote #1

A good number of works owe their success to the mediocrity of their authors' ideas, which match the mediocrity of those of the general public Picture Quote #1

What is responsible for the success of many works is the rapport between the mediocrity of the author's ideas and the mediocrity of the public's Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged Picture Quote #1

If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that Picture Quote #1

A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius Picture Quote #1

I try to keep an open mind but I’m so tired of the mediocrity Picture Quote #1

Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike Picture Quote #1

I sometimes make pictures which are not up to my standard, but then it can only be said of a mediocrity that all his work is up to his standard Picture Quote #1

There are countless ways of achieving greatness, but any road to achieving one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity Picture Quote #1

It is not always the highest talent that thrives best. Mediocrity, with tact, will outweigh talent oftentimes Picture Quote #1

The way that I am now, I don’t want to accept mediocrity. I don’t want to accept the easy road Picture Quote #1

Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity Picture Quote #1

There are the those whose own vulgar normality is so apparent and stultifying that they strive to escape it. They affect flamboyant behaviour and claim originality according to the fashionable eccentricities of their time. They claim brains or talent or indifference to mores in desperate attempts to deny their own mediocrity Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to make something that’s interesting. It’s really, really hard. It’s like a law of nature, a law of aerodynamics, that anything that’s written or anything that’s created wants to be mediocre. The natural state of all writing is mediocrity... So what it takes to make anything more than mediocre is such an act of will Picture Quote #1

Mediocrity is always in a rush; but whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing with consideration. For genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly Picture Quote #1

The amount of financial and imaginative energy that’s put into mediocrity is just amazing, which I find to be fundamentally offensive as a human being Picture Quote #1

Pessimists are second rate people. They do not believe in life... All they want to do is drag you down and appease their own feelings of mediocrity and fear Picture Quote #1

Some of you may be perfectly happy with mediocrity. Some of you will get nothing but heartbreak. Some of you will be heralded as geniuses and become huge. Of course, all of you think that one describes you... hence the delusion necessary to push on Picture Quote #1

Mediocrity is my biggest fear. I’m not afraid of total failure because I don’t think that will happen. I’m not afraid of success because that beats the hell out of failure. It’s being in the middle that scares me Picture Quote #1

I have a deathly fear of mediocrity and that nips at my heels and gets me into a lot of trouble Picture Quote #1

Passion is a product of the heart. Passion is what helps you when you have a great dream. Passion breeds conviction and turns mediocrity into excellence! Your passion will motivate others to join you in pursuit of your dream. With passion, you will overcome insurmountable obstacles. You will become unstoppable! Picture Quote #1

The business world worships mediocrity. Officially we revere free enterprise, initiative and individuality. Unofficially we fear it Picture Quote #1

Follow your bliss. That which you love you must spend your life doing, as passionately and as perfectly as your heart, mind and instincts allow. The sooner you identify that bliss, which surely resides in the soul of most human beings, the greater your chance of a truly successful life. In the act of creativity, being careful guarantees sameness and mediocrity, which means your work will be invisible. Better to be reckless than careful. Better to be bold than safe. Better to have your work seen and remembered, or you’ve struck out. There is no middle ground Picture Quote #1

We will meet our challenges head on and we will do it by rejecting the politics of mediocrity and corruption. You voted for change; I intend to deliver it... I will govern as a reformer Picture Quote #1

Let some holy ambition invade our souls, so that, dissatisfied with mediocrity, we shall eagerly desire the highest things and shall toil with all our strength to obtain them, since we may if we wish Picture Quote #1

It is a sad mission to cut through and destroy with the scissors of analysis the delicate and iridescent veils with which our proud mediocrity clothes itself Picture Quote #1

Fear causes people to draw back from situations. It brings on mediocrity, it dulls creativity, it sets one up to be a loser in life Picture Quote #1
