Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Alan Bennett

Reading is untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting.

Kage Baker

William Shakespeare

Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief

U.S. Steel was a continual drag on the economy for the next 50 years and caused substantial harm,

Kenneth Fisher

I'm sometimes accused of being hostile to mutual funds. That's not fair, really. There is a place for them. Still, I am hostile to one thing, which is trying to use funds to time your way in and out of the market. That's a recipe for very bad results.

Kenneth Fisher

The average mutual fund holding period for equity or fixed income is only about three years. It's too short.

But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

David Esquer

Sven Eriksson

When it came to the last 10 minutes, I think we controlled it and they seemed to be out of ideas. Then, when we thought we won the game, it's a bit of a delusion to draw it. And, of course, the delusion is even bigger to lose it.

Nicole Miller

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling. The doctor on the ship could feel that my right side was weaker. They told me something was going on, but that it was not a medical emergency and that it didn't matter if I went off the boat that day or in four days.

Gregg Popovich

We responded well from a real tough loss last night. That's what a coach always looks for. It was great to come out angry enough to try to put last night out of their heads. We played well most of the night, but a lot of the fuel for that came from last night.

Jeff Swanagan

We respect the water, and use the water. We don't just let it go down the drain. We treat this water like gold. The only water loss is evaporation.

Mike Drews

We're going to have a good week of practice and get ourselves ready. If you can come out of a loss with more confidence, we should be able to do that after tonight.

Troy Sunderland

When we came back, we had a good talk. It's disappointing to get a loss when you have five kids win and five kids lose. It puts a negative, somber note on the weekend.

With nearly eighty million baby boomers starting to retire this year, and a large number of them wanting to live where it's warm, someone needed to come up with a solution, so I thought of assembling a group of investors to purchase a cruise ship and convert the cabins to condominiums.

Mark Boyd

With nearly 80 million baby boomers starting to retire this year, and a large number of them wanting to live where it's warm, someone needed to come up with a solution, so I thought of assembling a group of investors to purchase a cruise ship and convert the cabins to condominiums.

Theresa Adams

When we were letting the starters sit on the bench, to see what was going on on the floor ... that's just how the other part of the team feels when they're on the bench, wanting to get in. And after they saw all of that, they came alive to realize that they (would) rather be on the floor than on the bench.

Greg Harrison

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.

Roger Hansen

When I was over there, I was quite surprised with how fast they adjusted because of their flexibility and their feet. I never saw a kid in pro ball with bad feet or bad hands. If you've got that, you can adjust from there.

Mike Birbiglia

When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.

were so far away they had no idea of the impact we were making. They saw the music as local music that would never break out.

Fredrik Ljungberg

We're maybe not so physically strong. It doesn't really matter in the Champions League but maybe in the Premiership we have suffered a little bit for it, but I think in Europe we look really sharp. Unfortunately, we have not been able to cope with the physical side and we have suffered from that. In Europe we have been allowed to play more football.

Fernando Clavijo

The other team played hard; they executed a great free kick. You have to give them credit. We suffered some injuries but you have to give the credit to the team that played well.

Jim Webb

The POW camps of North Vietnam were packed with Air Force and Naval Academy graduates. The six midshipmen in my Naval Academy class of 1968 who served as liaisons between the Marine Corps and the Brigade of Midshipmen later suffered nine Purple Hearts in Vietnam, and one man killed in action.

Ken Mehlman

We've suffered a war, and one thing we know: Whenever our nation's faced war, whether it was in the 1980s when we were winning the Cold War or in the 1940s during World War II, the responsible thing to do has been to borrow money to win the war.

Elian Gonzalez

Wherever I go, there's always a child, an old woman, that comes to me and wants to meet me. Not because I am famous but because they suffered with my family.

Lewis Clarke

I've been through the entire list of Polar problems. I knew it would be hard, but it's harder than I ever thought it would be. I've suffered from blisters, a high-altitude cough, frost nip, and I even managed to break a ski they told me was unbreakable.

David Berkowitz

We're making very good progress, but we're not stopping there. We're working with manufacturers to reduce fat and sodium in things like salad dressing ... and we're going to continue to work to make the food taste as good as it can taste.

Scott Gomez

We're going to face a different club. They got a lot of young guys who got their first taste of it. We've got to be ready for that on Monday night.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection

Lee Youngblood

What he has consistently told the president, for several years now, is that if we do have some sort of guest worker program, it shouldn't smell, taste or look like an amnesty program.

We both want that nasty, foul taste out of our mouths from last Sunday. All but early in the season, there's a lot riding on it right now.

Ron Meyer

Universal had its most profitable year ever in 2005 due in no small part to Marc, whose impact on this company has been the foundation for its unique culture and its far-ranging achievements, His combination of strengths is unique in that he has been able to attract exceptional creative talent in a specialty film environment and at the same time is revered in the global sales and distribution community for his taste and acumen.

Robert Rodriguez

Usually, I'm just pleasing myself and I have very similar tastes I think to an audience, what that core audience really likes.

Brendan Gaughan

We feel that we're still going to win but it has taken a lot to get us there. I'm actually pretty happy it was this hard; if it would have come easy, it would have felt maybe a little less satisfying. When this win does come -- and it will come -- it'll make everything feel and taste so much better.

Sofia Boutella

When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, 'For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.' So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!

George Vecsey

Tom Seaver was let loose twice by the Mets and pitched a no-hitter for the Reds and won his 300th game for the White Sox, but he wears a Mets cap in the Hall of Fame as homage to the 1969 championship.

Akeem Wright

We would rather play twice a week, but we put everything we had into the Missouri game, so it was good to get some rest.

We can control our own destiny, especially playing Atlanta twice more and Florida three more times, those teams are the closest to us outside a playoff spot.

Kelly Meek

We broke the rule twice (about guarding Duran). Then that run started.

Joe Flaherty

What's most outrageous in our eyes is that he entered our home twice in the course of these crimes, once to take the murder weapon and arm himself and a second time after the murders in an attempt to hide the weapon and perpetrate his crime.
