“Obama gave a good speech but not nearly as good as the press would have you believe. Whether it's good or bad, the press will say it's fantastic. In many ways, I like Obama. It's hard to define. There's something about him I do like. I'm embarrassed to admit it. I give him a lot of credit. It's very unique and very hard to do and I give him tremendous credit. He became a two-term president of the United States. He's got some quality going.”

“I'm not good enough to do something I dislike. In fact, I find it hard enough to do something that I like.”

James D. Watson (1928) American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist.

Source: Succeeding in Science: Some Rules of Thumb (1993)
Context: Never do anything that bores you. My experience in science is that someone is always telling to do something that leaves you flat. Bad idea. I'm not good enough to do something I dislike. In fact, I find it hard enough to do something that I like. … Constantly exposing your ideas to informed criticism is very important, and I would venture to say that one reason both of our chief competitors failed to reach the Double Helix before us was that each was effectively very isolated.

“How are you doing, make a good, simple [and] true thing, for example… I believe I have found a good place for it. Namely, I spoke Mr. about you and he expressed his wish that you should show him something good..”

Anton Mauve (1838–1888) Dutch painter (1838–1888)

(translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018, version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Anton Mauve, in het Nederlands:) Hoe gaat het met je werk, maak vooral een goed eenvoudig [en] waar dingetje.. ..ik geloof er een goed plaatsje voor te hebben. namelijk ik sprak den Heer over jou en hij drukte de wensch uit dat je hem iets goeds moet laten zien..
Quote of Mauve in his letter to painter , 1866; as cited in Archive P.A. Scheen, collectie RKD Den Haag http://delamar.bntours.nl/!mad1832-bronnen.html
