We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.

Harri Holkeri

When I was involved in Finnish domestic problems, I used to bring people together and make them work together instead of fighting against each other.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

And then guy next to me was like, 'You're only the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire.' I said, 'Don't worry about it. Minor details. But it's going to work.'

Chinua Achebe

Let the kite perch and let the eagle perch too – If one says no to the other, let his wing break.

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence. And because their faces had evidence of age: lines, dark circles, and half-lidded eyes, it made that confidence so rebellious. And that was incredibly attractive to me.

Michael Feldman

When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid.

So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.

To my detriment sometimes. I can be very controlled - too controlled. It spills over into my life, and that's when it gets difficult.

Clint Hurdle

We're going to give him a little more time to work his way out of it. He's an important part of the lineup without Todd. . . . He's not trying to pull everything. He's conscious of going to the right side. When he gets hot, he can do major damage.

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Rabindranath Tagore

He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open.

Tim Funkhouser

He did a good job for us defensively last year and I think he's got more in him offensively. Once he knocks off the rust, he's obviously so athletic and he'll find a way to achieve.

Dave MacArthur

He has stepped up for us all year. For a kid that played sparingly last year to step in and take care of the ball -- he just does a great job. He takes care of the ball, doesn't force anything and when he has to, he knocks down his free throws.

A big diamond necklace is nouveau riche, really. People who have wealth a long time don't wear such things.

Larry Krantz

We respect the rights of Texans to have fun. But people need to realize that everyone pays when the state has to constantly stop what it's doing to repair this kind of damage. It takes away from our other responsibilities like building and maintaining roadways.

Ted Spadaro

Relaxing your hair is like being in prison. You're caged in. Your hair rules you. You didn't go running with Curt today because you don't want to sweat out this straightness. You're always battling to make your hair do what it wasn't meant to do.

Cheryl Strayed

Hiking the PCT was the maddening effort of knitting that sweater and unraveling it over and over again. As if everything gained was inevitably lost

Cheryl Strayed

Going down (descending), I realized, was like taking hold of the loose strand of yard on a sweater you'd just spent hours knitting and pulling it until the entire sweater unraveled into a pile of string. Hiking the PCT was the maddening effort of knitting that sweater and unraveling it over and over again. As if everything gained was inevitably lost.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

Marshall Cohen

When it becomes the third week, the novelty is going to wear off, but the consumers will still be buying one more item just because of the fact that they're going to be having ... more in their pocket. That one item is going to add up and it is going to benefit the retailer more than the consumer.

We can do a lot more in our everyday lives to prevent brain injuries. I'd like to see everyone here, when they buy that next car, make sure it has side airbags.

Jerramy Stevens

We felt like we were going to wear them down eventually. And I think that's what happened. They couldn't stand up to it the whole game.

Jacob Best

The person wearing the shirt can point a guest in the direction of a younger sober brother who can give guests rides home. If nothing else, the person wearing the shirt will know who to talk to. They can locate the president or the social chair and elicit their help.

What I wear is everything - from how I carry my hair to what I'm wearing on my feet. I have to feel comfortable on stage, so I like to wear things that have room. My mood changes a lot, so sometimes I wear 6-inch heels, and other times I'll perform in bare feet.

Laura Marano

I'm kind of obsessed with wedges, but I go to a regular high school, so I'm not going to be wearing Vera Wang there.
