Every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration. Constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought.

The expectation of an unpleasantness is more terrible than the thing itself.

There's a certain amount of pressure that goes with writing superhero characters, especially characters that are beloved to audiences. You know that you're always writing into a certain amount of expectations and into an existing fandom, and I try to take the pressure of that in when I first accept a project and then I try to push it aside as much as possible and just focus on the story that I want to tell. It's definitely a little more pressure than writing something of your own, from your own brain, and creating those expectations from scratch. But I also like the challenge of it.

I hated waiting. If I had one particular complaint, it was that my life seemed composed entirely of expectation.

Marilynne Robinson
hatedexpectationswaiting

I hated waiting. If I had one particular complaint, it was that my life seemed composed entirely of expectation. I expected — an arrival, an explanation, an apology. There had never been one, a fact I could have accepted, were it not true that, just when I had got used to the limits and dimensions of one moment, I was expelled into the next and made to wonder again if any shapes hid in its shadows.

Marilynne Robinson

Nothing is so great an adversary to those who make it their busin... by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nothing is so great an adversary to those who make it their business to please as expectation.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

One of the most popular narcotics to ease the pain of economy is cherishing the belief that better days are ahead. This is both efficacious and commendable, but it sometimes turns out to be a habit-forming drug. ...

Marjorie Hillis

Mark Cuban

I try not to have expectations because they can tend to tear you apart. I expect to work as hard as I can possibly work and I expect to give every ounce of a hundred percent.
