Dancers Quotes
But that's why I had to. I couldn't finish anything, or communicate, or make decisions about what the dancers should do. I was at a very isolated place in my mind. I was always incredibly obsessive about my work, and I don't know how much I made that more extreme by drug use. But I'm glad not to be that person now.

Alaska Quotes
But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy. So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

Ignore Quotes
If a student is struggling, not having a lot of success can impact self-esteem. They can feel like they are retarded or think they have limitations and a sense of inadequacy. If an obstacle can't be conquered, the person might go to extreme measures to try and ignore the problem altogether.

Building Quotes
If that extreme wind sustains itself for as much as six seconds on a building it's going to cause rupturing damages that are serious no matter how well it's engineered. So I think that it's immaterial what will happen with winds stronger than 156 miles per hour. That's the reason why we didn't try to go any higher than that,

Baby Quotes
We are experiencing these extreme levels of fear, with investors saying that they are not interested in hearing any positives, like the retail sales this morning, and that they want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The silver lining is that this kind of panic is historically the classic feeling when a bear market is at its bottom.

Accept Quotes
Under federal regulations, it's the pilot's call. The tower would have asked for a flight plan and would have advised him to not take off. There's no stopping a pilot from taking off at any time. If the pilot makes that decision, under the federal air regulations, they can do that. However they have to be willing to accept the risk and it would certainly indicate extreme bad judgment.

Allowed Quotes
J.P. Morgan had a fairly strong independent streak. In the last two-to-three years, they decided they were going to try to get their brand name out there to and leverage that into a business stream of revenue that would have allowed them to remain independent. It didn't work. Their second goal: If you can't do it internally, let's command an extreme premium for that brand name. And they did that. Chase paid top dollar.

Bit Quotes
I think that when we're looking at things when we're right in the center of things, as opposed to being a bit unmoored from what's going on around us, we see things through a kind of dulling lens of convention, and there's something about extreme emotional experiences that gives us a heightened clarity, I think, of thought and of feeling.

Accept Quotes
Paradoxically, perhaps, there seems nothing enduring to be gained in terms of meaningful life change purely from leisure, from having a great time. If you or I could redesign the world we'd certainly do it very differently, so that every time we took a magic vacation at some tropical paradise we would return full of more wisdom than the World Encyclopedia of Philosophical Quotations. Until then, we are well advised to accept the reality that the great lessons in life usually come to us through some form of extreme hardship.

Close Quotes
Overall he finished 16th, but Levi is still one of our most-important skiers. He's one of the reasons we ended up where we did. He's always an all-out skier. The only way you win or get close to winning is to ski on the edge. And when you ski on the edge, it doesn't always happen. He pushes it to the extreme every time.

Act Quotes
Regardless of what happens with this agreement, Congress can, and must fix the Patriot Act to better protect the privacy and freedom of ordinary Americans. At the same time, until the Bush administration stops the illegal NSA program to spy on Americans and stops ignoring the rule of law, any reforms to the Patriot Act could be ignored under the extreme philosophy of power embraced by this president. No matter the result of the Patriot Act, we hope all senators involved in these negotiations will resist pressure from the administration. Congress must restore the rule of law and insist that innocent Americans' rights be protected against the overreaching of the White House. We can, and must, be both safe and free.

Advantage Quotes
That capability from IBM really came about because they were able to build an architecture that had a much lower processor requirement with very extreme levels of performance. That gave them a tremendous price-to-performance advantage in that market versus their traditional competitors, HP and Sun.

Article Quotes
My public stand represented a turning point for me and my entire future. The article very quickly became known throughout the world. For a long time the Soviet press contained no mention of the Progress, and later references were either disapproving in the extreme or else ironic. A great many critics, even if sympathetically disposed towards me, regarded my reflections in this work as exceedingly naive and speculative.

Located in the Inner Harbor area, and well known for its dolphin demonstrations, this is one of Maryland's most popular tourist attractions. The newest exhibit, Animal Planet's Australia: Wild Extremes, depicts survival stories in an extreme environment and features 1,800 Australian animals.
