Unless those of us who love our wives (and thus, our lives) make a conscious change to the way we speak of them, unless we begin choosing to elevate and praise our spouses instead of denigrate, we will be letting an incredibly corrosive, self-perpetuating societal meme destroy the very institution that defines our lives.

Canadian Actor

The decision to work with Marvel for a while isn't any sort of denigration of DC. I had a fantastic time there, I was treated extremely well, I have strong positive feelings about all of my editors and the DC universe of characters, and I look forward to hopefully working with them at some point down the road.

American Novelist

My basis of morality is this: does this action enhance life, or does it denigrate life? Does it build up or does it tear down?

American Clergyman

Todd Haynes

I love how 'melodrama' is a denigrated term - a lower-class citizen to other genres. And yet that's what life is, man.

American Director

American Politician

Subtlety

 stem science technology engineering and math and I'm not denigrating that and I'm not saying that there's nothing intrinsically wrong about a stem push we need scientifically literate students but the way that has traditionally happened in the schools is we've given them more time we're given them more

A critical examination...

 I've been invited to speak in front of esteemed groups such as yourselves; I've signed a wonderful major book contract. All of that's great, and I don't denigrate it. I'm proud of it all, but the truth is, I'm walking around tall
