Opened Quotations | Page 3

Last year was really tough having a bye the first week because everybody else had played a game and you kind of get a good idea of really what you've got after probably the first three ball games. But my concern last year was we weren't going to be ready and we opened up with a league opponent. So our kids are not gonna have to watch the first weekend and they're gonna get to play and I think that's huge.

Last year we opened with Swampscott and Medford and beat them pretty easily. In both cases the starters were pretty much out of the game by halftime. That didn't help us going into Burlington (a 28-25 loss). We needed to change. Everything we do is to try and get ready for Middlesex League competition.

She sat down in order that we might stand up. Paradoxically, her imprisonment opened the doors for our long journey to freedom.

She shut us down, then Lauren Atwood got a rocket single off of her to start the third and it showed everyone that we could hit off of her. We've really been hitting the ball well. Her hit opened the game. She's really worked hard and she's contributing every time I put her in the game.

She spent her summer in a way not a lot of high school golfers spend their summers. She really opened up and played in some big tournaments on some really long courses. That's where I see the biggest difference.

On a few plays we got the high screen pick and roll and hit the big man sealing down low. After Trevor cooled off, the pick and roll opened up.

Shriners opened their first hospital in 1923. Our main objective is to provide orthopedic and burn care to underprivilaged children.

Since 2000, I've been based in Paris at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville, curating the programme there. Internationally, it's a very open situation that goes beyond national boundaries; directors and curators move from one country to another, which has opened up the museum landscape.

She got the ball in the open court on transition stuff and they were pressuring up on other people, I think it opened the court up for her.

She definitely opened up to us. You could see it now. She has a great personality. She's a sweetheart.

She definitely opened the door. She established the fact that gender means nothing out here. It's ability that counts.

She did make an extraordinary difference for women as I can tell you from my own personal experience. I well remember the sense of awe when I came to Washington, D.C. ... as a senior in college, sitting across the desk from her. Little did I realize that because of the doors that she opened she would make it possible for me to sit one day at her very desk on the floor of the United States Senate.

Since we opened our store in 1959, our goal has been to serve Cambridge-area residents in the best way we could. Our partnership with Cub allows us to continue to fulfill that goal by providing even greater selection and value to our customers.

She's able to do more than we're asking her to do. We're trying to be cautious. Tonight, we opened a big lead and we didn't want to risk anything.

She opened the door so women could participate in the Empress side.

She opened the door and the lady pushed her way in and the lady started kicking her in the face and kicking her and beating her.

Most of the time we've had some interesting opening bands, like Cheap Trick opened for us a few times and that was a total thrill.

Modelling opened up the world to me. All my friends were bohemian artists and were a little bit appalled when I sold out and did something so bourgeois. I'd say, 'Come on, guys, with what I earn from this job, we can all go to Morocco.'

Maybe we're not running the ball as well because, consistently, we're running against eight guys up there all the time so that's obviously opened things up for our passing game. On game day, we'll see what happens. Do they want to stop the pass and see if we can run the ball to win? Or do they want to stop the run first and make us pass to win? We'll have to do whatever they give us.

My job was just to kind of be a decoy on the back side, but we're always taught running things full speed, ... It kind of opened up, and we got six on the board.

My folks made me a Jawa costume for the Halloween after 'Star Wars' opened in '77. In '78, when it was re-released, I was hired by the local cinema to be the Jawa: to dress up all summer long, and I could frighten people with my Jawa sounds and my Jawa outfit and watch 'Star Wars Episode IV' all summer long and get paid with movie passes.

One of the advantages to the new plant was that we've promoted people and moved them down there for positions. We provided them opportunities down there, and in the meantime, opened up sale territories for people in this area. More employment to local area was created as a result of promoting people here to the southern plant.

One night after a show he gave me a gift. When I opened up the bag, he had made out of clay and dried macaroni a model of the universe with the planets and everything. Then in the middle of the model was an action figure with my face on it. I was the center of his universe.

One time, my mom told us, 'No TV.' It was 3 P.M., and I was sneaking it in. She put her hand on the back of the TV to see if it was warm, and it was. So she pulled the cord out of the wall, opened the second-floor window, and just threw it out the window.

My doctor told me Thursday that I could play with as much pain as I could take. It didn't affect me in the beginning of the game, but in the second half the cut opened up and the Band-Aid came off. It started throbbing and burning.

No one thought the (Fabulous Palm Springs) Follies would do as well as it has (when it opened 10 years ago). I'm not sure they (Cirque Dreams) will be full every night, but ... it's going to be good for the merchants.

No one spoke in terms of children's literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn't categorised much before then. Even Grimm's tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since 'Harry Potter' there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again.

Now that the highway has been opened up to four lanes, delays haven't been a problem. As a result, PART buses are stopping in Kernersville on every trip going and coming from Winston-Salem to the PART hub near the Greensboro airport.

Obviously this was a big step up going from a maiden win right into a graded stakes but I think Bill had a lot of confidence in him and felt he truly belonged here. He still looks like he might have a few things to learn, he was kind of trying to run up on the leaders a little bit, but Edgar said when the hole opened up he had a lot of acceleration.

Obviously, off that last race (when he broke his maiden on February 17) it was a very nice race for him. Today was a big step up, but we had a lot of confidence in him and thought he belonged in here. He's still got a little bit to learn, but Edgar said that when that hole opened up along the rail he showed a lot of acceleration.

Obviously, he's a great talent, but I think we've opened holes for him at times. At the same time, I think he's made us better at times when things looked bleak as far as the holes. It's a group thing. It's us working for him and him working for us. It's worked out well.

One of the greatest guys I've ever played with. He really opened up to us and was one of the guys. He treated us all like professionals. He talked strategy a little bit, pitchers that he had faced and knew, or pitchers I faced. He'd just sit there in the dugout and talk baseball.

I was so into it and so hyped about the game that I just saw the seams and just took it, ... The line opened up the holes for me and they were just big. I saw them opening up and I just took advantage of them.

I got into computers back in the early '80s, so it was a natural progression of learning about e-mail in the mid-'80s and getting into the Internet when it opened up in the early '90s.

I got hit on my left leg, and my hips got opened up a little bit, so the ball sailed. I was aiming to throw outside to Mike because the defender was inside.

I have determined that American lives can be saved by ending the ongoing stonewalling by these two suspects, who have clearly orchestrated a campaign that endangers U.S. intelligence agents' lives.

I bowl at Town and Country in a mixed couples league on Mondays, so I'm familiar with the shot. I knew where I wanted to bowl. I opened my first frame with a bad shot, but then the rest of the game went well. Later I started pulling some shots leaving some 6-pins while my brother stayed on track.

But, after all, one cannot, at sixty-two, look back down the corridor of one's life and not have some doubts about the journey one has made. The doors which one opened are now all closed. The doors one did not dare open remain shut. The corridor is dark; only ahead is lighter. So one turns and proceeds in that direction. To go back is madness. To turn left or right, at this stage, is both exhausting and dangerous.

I happened to fall into a job that wound up being a seminal piece of television history, which was a show I did on HBO called 'The Wire.' That experience really set the bar for me and opened a lot of doors. It also gave me a lot of street cred in terms of my phone ringing and job offers.

I give it up to the offensive line. Our offensive line opened up some holes, then moved on to the linebackers. The first time I was getting hit was by a cornerback or safety. It felt good to pound on those guys.

I give all the credit to the offensive line. They opened the holes. All we had to do was run through them.

I feel that accomplishment was really great. It was really showing change was coming and basically opened up doors for those that would like to get an education.

I can tell that the boy I help is getting better. He is more comfortable and I push him with harder books to better himself.

I found it helpful because I have no idea what I'm going to do; it opened up my mind.
