There's that 
But the actual quote is about art, and that it's far harder to create art than it is to criticize what's produced. That the very endeavor of artistic expression, regardless of result, has meaning beyond whatever the critic may see.
Of course, that means that the quote has absolutely zero meaning in the context of this thread, which is about whether or not paranormal research (a (pseudo?) scientific endeavor) has merit or is treated fairly. Science isn't about expression, but examination. And both results and the methods used to obtain them should be criticized. That's the entire point of peer review and repeated experimentation.
So, ultimately, it's Wooters trying and failing (yet again) at being scathingly witty towards skeptics.
