E. O. Wilson Basically Quotations

If we had lost tonight, it's basically like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, when there's one kid left and you know he's going to hit the spot. You don't want to get to that point. It's always nice to beat a great ballclub.

He's a big kid; he covers a lot of ground. You have really got to work hard and you've got to score on rebounds and their defense did a good job of clearing the net. It's basically a dogfight every shot and rebound in there, and they played it well.

The question becomes, well, where do you get the product to fill the pipeline, ... The system was basically running full out before the storm to supply the market and now we've lost nearly 10 percent of the (U.S.) refining capacity.

Don't take for granted on that first look that there's not a bike there because there can be and basically we're telling them to look twice because no one wants to get hit. No one wants to get killed.

I basically lost everything. By the time we knew we had to get out, there was no time. I brought my laptop, my cell phone, a change of clothes and a pair of shoes and some of my boots.
