Aggressive Quotes
Brain surgery is a fairly aggressive process. There's a lot to get through. There's the beautiful, delicate shaving first, which is really lovely. There's a wonderful ceremony of putting all the covers on, so only the little bit you're operating on is revealed. But once they make the incision and tear the skin back, the drill comes out.

Ads Quotes
There's nothing delicate about this stuff. We're right there in their faces. But it works. Nevada is the only state that does these kinds of ads. Everyone else's ads have been very sweet and nice -- people running through meadows with flowers in slow motion. We're not there. We want new business.

Arrive Quotes
The soul that is attached to anything however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for, until the cord be broken the bird cannot fly.

Celebrate Quotes
The movie is really walking a very delicate line. Because I don't want to look like I'm condoning staying in a marriage like that. And I'm not saying that it's right that women at the time had no choice but to stay in the home and raise kids, but at the same time, I wanted to celebrate the fact that she was a deeply intelligent, insightful, strong woman who found joy in that situation.

Beauty Quotes
The breadfruit is a superb tree, about 60 feet high, with deep green, shining leaves, a foot broad, sharply and symmetrically cut, worthy, from their exceeding beauty of form, to take the place of the acanthus in architectural ornament, and throwing their pale green fruit into delicate contrast.

Blank Quotes
The "west" - what curse has fallen upon it that at the term of its trajectory it produces only these businessmen, these shopkeepers, these racketeers with their blank stares and atrophied smiles... is it with such vermin as this that a civilization so delicate and so complex must come to an end?

Balance Quotes
It's a very delicate balance for retailers to decide when to transition into the next season, ... Some retailers hope launching back-to-school lines early will result in better margins. But if a clothing chain picks out a trend and puts it into stores too early and that trend flops with consumers, it leads to lost dollars. Retailers don't want to be stuck with extra inventory so they'll start putting out the sales signs fast.

Actions Quotes
The next step is not clear. If the United States pushes for stronger actions against Iran, these targeted political and economic sanctions, and the Russians and the Chinese resist, then it is quite possible that the Security Council will be deadlocked. They will not be able to take any action. At the same time, that kind of scenario might lead some in the United States to argue that the Bush administration should take actions on its own. So we are moving in a very delicate phase here.

Act Quotes
I've got a fine line and I've got to be very careful because if these people have no hope, they don't want to support it. If the people in New Orleans have no hope, then they're not going to come. So it's a situation that I've got a very delicate balancing act here to try to make it work.

Flower Quotes
I like things to be quite poppy, quite graphic -- it's quite a London sensibility. I'm not looking for 'pretty' or 'nice. Stripes are always a huge thing for me. I'm obsessed with stripes. I like a graphic flower print, not a delicate Liberty (of London) print, and I like uniform prints.

Awards Quotes
In the car on my way to premieres and awards shows, I'll sit with tissue paper under my armpits so I don't soil the delicate dress fabric. The whole time, I'm telling myself, 'Please don't sweat, please don't sweat.' I throw the tissues out right before I step out of the car, and nobody ever knows! I just put on a smile and fake it.

Art Quotes
Civilization...is a matter of imponderables, of delight in the thins of the mind, of love of beauty, of honor, grace, courtesy, delicate feeling. Where imponderables, are things of first importance, there is the height of civilization, and, if at the same time, the power of art exists unimpaired, human life has reached a level seldom attained and very seldom surpassed.

We are confident that the HALO feature film can be most fully realized under the creative direction of Peter, Fran and Weta.
