People with bad consciences always fear the judgment of children.

The theater is the only branch of art much cared for by people of wealth; like canasta, it does away with the brother of talk after dinner.

Out of ignorance and fear comes judgment and division.

Their judgment on people is extraordinary.

When people learn no tools of judgment and merely follow their hopes, the seeds of political manipulation are sown.

People like to think of cultural judgment as having some kind of pure form, but I don't believe that it does. I think that prizes and awards shows function as a staging ground within the messiness and complexity of cultural judgment. [While] everyone remembers the Pia Zadora scandal, and even now the Golden Globes have the identity of being the most bogus of awards shows, that doesn't make them less legitimate than the others.
