Miles Quotations | Page 5

My mind became agitated with the enquiry - why a nation, separated from us by an ocean more than three thousand miles in extent, should endeavor to enforce on us plans of subjugation, the most unnatural in themselves, unjust, inhuman in their operations, and unpractised even by the uncivilized savages of the wilderness?

Local markets react to themselves, not to one 100 miles away. Service stations look at their competitors every day and the more competition that exists, the price is generally lower.

It doesn't matter how long pollutants flow. If they travel 10 feet or 100 miles they are still going to cause problems downstream.

I think if I stay healthy, I'll be okay. Now that I don't throw 94 or 95 miles per hour anymore, my slider is basically my best pitch. They pretty much know I'm 39, so I'm not a young guy anymore.

Johnson doesn't know it, but I completed more miles than he did by the time he took the checkered at Daytona. I was already flying west.

I'm sitting here at my office at Warner Bros. And I'm looking at big buildings and soundstages and all the things you need to make a movie, but what do I have to do? Get on a plane and fly thousands of miles so I can look at big buildings and sound stages and all the things you need to make a movie. And why? Because of costs. It all comes down to costs.

I'm hoping to see them in close proximity. I don't pay as much attention to their times because it changes every course. I look at their body language. Three miles is a long way. They have to be patient.

I'm in my apartment in trendy Tribeca. I've been down here for 37 years, from before it was a fashionable neighbourhood. It's a wonderful place; it looks over the Hudson River.

The aptly named Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of sand, stretches like a beckoning finger along the Pacific Ocean at Washington's southwest corner. You won't find games or taffy stands on the Long Beach Boardwalk, just interpretive displays about the dunes, water and wildlife. But this low-key planked pathway parallels the beach, where kite fliers congregate year-round; the Washington State International Kite Festival is Aug. 15-21.

The assistance systems in Louisiana are very overwhelmed right now. It feels great to step in from thousands of miles away and play even a small role in helping people get back on their feet,

That was the first time I've ever done distance running. Running 3.1 miles has massively helped with endurance.

That was a good site for that wind farm on the hills behind Kennewick. They get average wind speeds of 14 to 16 miles per hour consistently so they have a good power factor for those wind turbines.

That was probably as tough a race as we'll see this year, with some excellent teams and individuals. Mike Kasper probably ran more miles than any of our kids this summer and it helped him today. Both teams will run better.

I was on tour with Miles Davis, and we had a gig to play at a theater in Los Angeles in 1965. And the opening act was the Aretha Franklin Jazz Trio.

I'd rate her up there with Zeus.

I was only 250 miles away, but now I'm 2,500 miles away. I was a little disappointed my wife and grandkids are in Houston.

You can hardly pull a lure too fast for a wahoo. Some guys pull over 15 miles an hour and still get hit.

You just want it to happen naturally without really thinking about it. As soon as you starting thinking at 90 miles per hour, you start making mistakes. The idea is to get the right line ingrained.

Wilma has very quickly strengthened to a storm with winds of 175 miles per hour -- that's stronger than Katrina and Rita. Although it's not on course to hit oil platforms, it's still a few days away and if there's a slight change in course to the west, markets will jump aggressively higher.

When I was about twenty-five years of age, Professor Sims informed me that I could sing, but added, 'I would like to be at least forty miles away while you are doing it.'

When it comes to hitting solid drives, the secret is to swing within yourself. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's true.

We realized we needed to have a permanent center. We were racking up easily about 200 miles driving from Bow to Blaine and out to Sumas.

We have taken some huge steps since last season. Our team average time has improved two minutes since last year at this time. We have been focusing more on miles rather than speed so far this season. I am anxious to see what happens when we add speed to our workouts. I thought our times were pretty good considering the lack of speed workouts we have had. We still have some work to do but I like what I see so far. This is a very experienced team and they know what it takes.

We're talking 100 miles a week, which is significant over what I used to do.

We have had patience with the sewer, but this really is ridiculous. When it snows, we're not the first to get our road cleared. When the lights go off, we're not the first to get them back on.

We were going 1,000 miles an hour, and I don't want to start over again. It's part of my job to think about this, but I didn't.

The Quantum Weather Butterfly ( Papilio Tempestae ) is an undistinguished yellow color, its outstanding feature is its ability to create weather. This presumably began as a survival trait, since even an extremely hungry bird would find itself inconvenienced by a nasty localized tornado ( usually about 6 inches across ). From there it possibly became a secondary sexual characteristic, like the plumage of birds. Look at *me*, the male says, flapping his wings lazily in the canopy of the rain forest. I may be an undistinguished yellow color but in a fortnight's time, a thousand miles away, Freak Gales Cause Road Chaos. This is the butterfly of the storm

We are, in sum, much safer than we were, and I say that as someone who lives just three miles from the site.

We were in the eye of the storm. We were four miles from the beach at a neighbor's brick house. It was clear out, no breeze, nothing. Then all of a sudden the water came down the street like someone was dumping a big bucket. Thirteen-foot-high tidal waves were coming straight at us.

When you sling a saddle atop a llama's back, just after he's rolled in the dirt to scratch the unscratchable tickle of having lugged an ungrateful hiker's 90 pounds of impedimenta another eight miles along the trail, you're struck by how matted, coarse, and snarly the wool seems. But that's why it makes for versatile outdoor wear.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner. From my mother's sleep, I fell into the State, and I hunched in its belly until my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died, they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
