"I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect." ― Edward Gibbon Topic(s): Respect More From Edward Gibbon "Hope, the best comfort of our imperfect condition." "Our work is the presentation of our capabilities." "Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world, an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule." More In Respect "More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic."― Simone Weil "As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it."― Suzi Quatro "I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it’s much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress."― Betsey Johnson
