Became Quotes
When I was 16 and 17, I used to follow the fire trucks on my bike. I was able to follow because they spilled water when they turned corners. When I turned 18, they changed the bylaws to let me volunteer, but I couldn't ride the trucks until I turned 21. I volunteered for the fire department for 37 years until Blue Ash became a village and they bought two trucks.

Afterwards Quotes
The people in the village were really friendly to us. I didn't know what to expect. They speak Ewe. I would say yeah, okay, because I didn't understand what they were saying. One lady put her hand on my shoulder and said, 'you are supposed to respond like this'. Afterwards I was all excited because I was able to greet everyone. I felt like I was part of the village.

Different Quotes
What bothers me is when music becomes entertainment. Of course, music is supposed to be entertaining, but go back to any period of time - music had a cultural significance on different levels, whether it was folk music, it was the news of the village, or it had to do with the rites of passage.

Center Quotes
This project fills a void in this part of Dallas by providing a village center -- an inviting environment and gathering spot for daytime office workers as well as residents near or visiting the Galleria area. As the name implies, Village on the Green will be a refreshing oasis for relaxation and retail and I predict it will become the new destination for after-hours dining and entertainment.

Answer Quotes
Sensitive and even resentful, I tried to make my novel answer all this nonsense. A thing the novel tried to say was that in the matter of human character the people of such an out-of-the-way midland village were as estimable as any others anywhere. . . . This, in my sensitive young fervor, was my emotional tribute to the land of my birth.

Demands Quotes
Meeting today's and tomorrow's demands for safe, fresh water requires everyone's efforts, from isolated village communities to global industries and world leaders. Solutions need to be as diverse as the threats. The key will be in finding solutions that view meeting people's needs and nature conservation as compatible, not conflicting, aims.
-
Box Quotes
Music was big in the circles that I ran in, and they certainly weren't leftists or alienated. All the high school kids went to The Music Box and The Village Swinger every weekend, and they danced their asses off. These were Dance Bands, again. Otis Reading was big with the college people then.
-
Baptist Quotes
I was raised by my grandma and grandpa in Florida. My grandpa was a Primitive Baptist minister, and all of these ladies, I know. This is like coming home. It's a joy to experience this young girl going through what she needs to go through to get to a place of comfort. To watch someone grow up and the village extend itself to her.
-
Animal Quotes
I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!
-
Allowing Quotes
Certainly the development is allowing the business park to become a reality. Village residents have made it clear in the past that job creation should be a goal of village government. So we feel this is an opportunity to pursue that and at the same time improve the value of the village of Biron, which will allow for lower taxes in the future.

Bothered Quotes
I have a constituency with 52,000 people and a million sheep. I was in one village where a local kid was run over by a tractor. They took him to Carlisle, but they couldn't be bothered to wait at the hospital. So they put him in a darkened room for two weeks, then said he was fine. But I'm not so sure he was.

Apply Quotes
we took on as a project helping a village in western Kenya. It was 5,000 hungry people beset with malaria and AIDS. And we said, 'let's apply the recommendations of the Millennium Project in this village with the support of a private donor, because government donors don't seem to do such practical things.' And we helped them get improved seeds and some fertilizer for the planting season. That's all. Very low cost. They produced four times more food this year than last year.

Clear Quotes
I think Incline Village has already shown how serious we are about the visiting process. By looking at what our community has already done we've made it very clear that we are serious and it's not a question of our commitment, it's a question of our willingness to put forth $25,000 to be involved.

Behind Quotes
Without a doubt, we're excited. We're excited about the new school and the community is behind us. The Village Golf Club is great to have us here. We're looking for good things. Sports are important for kids. We have some good young talent. One nice thing is we all will be together next year. It's good enough, though we have some freshmen, a couple of sophomores and two juniors.

Across Quotes
We have a new course with a wide new finish line because we have outgrown our previous location across from Dolphin Village in the County Park. The race will start and end in the Corey Ave. / Blind Pass Road area. We have an outstanding venue, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and ideal weather. The race and fitness expo is a chance to showcase the area and give something back to the community.

Actress Quotes
This scene originally looked very different. The actress was standing on a wooden platform, surrounded by a railing to keep tourists from falling down the mountain, hardly as dramatic as the finished product. It was amazingly challenging, due to the fact that the camera was constantly moving around her, and the sheer amount of work required to perfect the shot. Trees and bushes had to be added, a village in the background required removal, and clothing was even added to the actress. It was a complete and all encompassing transformation.

Mean Quotes
Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues. Like, fear and the way fear controls us. How the governing body of a town, or a nation, controls us through fear. They might mean well by it, but we are conditioned to be afraid of things. Fear of the unknown. Fear of terrorism. And it's unfortunate.
