A quote comedian Gearóid Farrelly lives by is from American actress Tyne Daly: “A critic is someone who never actually goes into battle but who afterwards goes around shooting the wounded.”

It's one he has always had written in the back of his notebooks, though it's not because he has had any bad experiences.
