Here are the quotations featured in last week’s episode of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds. I was out of town last week so I just watched this episode. Another episode aired this week and will be covered on Monday.
I’m not sure if either of these is accurate, especially the first one. The Emerson quotation appears frequently online, although they phrased it a bit differently in the show.

Once again, here are the quotations featured in last week’s episode of the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.
I’m not sure about the authenticity of either of these, but we did have both in our database before the show. The Gandhi quotation was worded slightly differently on the show, but they do tend to edit them for length, so this version is likely more accurate.

Every week, we bring you the quotations used in the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds. Here’s the one from the beginning of this week’s episode:
The show used the word “prize” rather than “throne,” which I’m assuming was an attempt to make it sound more applicable to modern situations, but made me think more of game shows. I’m not sure which word is correct, or if the quotation is authentic—it does appear all over the web, but I haven’t been able to verify it.
There was no quotation at the end of the episode this time, but midway through the show, one of the characters made an offhand remark about what “a cognitive scientist at MIT” said about coincidences. That turns out to be an authentic quotation:
It doesn’t surprise me to learn that the writers of this show read Psychology Today. You can read the entire article here: The Power of Coincidence
Criminal Minds airs Wednesday evenings on CBS. For our previous writings about this show, see the TV category.

Once again, here are the quotations from the most recent episode of Criminal Minds. I normally post these on Friday, but I’m running late this time.
They actually used only the ending of the Fromm quotation (“…the ultimate choice for a man”) but I thought you might enjoy the whole thing.
Stay tuned next week for quotations from the next episode. Criminal Minds airs Wednesday nights on CBS—check your local listings. See our TV Category for previous episodes.
