Darn Quotations

I grew up with another pretty darn good writer: Glenn Frey of the Eagles. We were very good friends, and we kind of studied it together.

Women waited 144 years before earning suffrage. If a mature, multiparty democracy was so darn easy, everybody would have one.

Nobody complains that Bernini's sculptures are too darn real, right? Or that Norman Rockwell's paintings are too creepy. Well, robots can seem real and be loved, too. We're trying to make a new art medium out of robotics.

We came from the '60s era, when we started and made so many hits. The song value from the '60s was so darn good, you've got The Beatles, The Beach Boys, all of Motown, and plenty of other people, too... amazing records, amazing songs.

I don't give a darn about coal or about oil. I do give a darn about oil jobs. I do give a darn about the jobs that coal can bring... I am against the Obama administration demonizing certain forms of energy and glorying others. I say, bring it all in.

I started off thinking that maybe the social sciences ought to have the kinds of mathematics that the natural sciences had. That works a little bit in economics because they talk about costs, prices and quantities of goods. But it doesn't work a darn for the other social sciences; you lose most of the content when you translate them to numbers.

I really built myself up, darn it, to be very strong.

We have a lot of work to do in New Jersey, but I am darn proud we've brought our state back.

I don't care how many championships you've won or how many records you've broken - if you've had a hand in pushing forward not only a game but women in sport's movement, then I think that's pretty darn good.

We're so uptight half the darn time. And you can't blame us. We're playing at a level where we had three big games against three great teams and we needed to play hard. We played hard; we didn't make shots. The shots will come. We can't stress here and think we're not going to make any more shots for the rest of our lives.

Yes, I'm glad this part is over. I think the jury had a hard thing to do. I think the jury did a darn good job. I think the FBI was excellent.

We knew we were facing a team that would be very aggressive and present us some challenges. Our challenge was keeping their dribblers in front of us. I thought we did a pretty gosh darn good job.

When you get to that super-sectional, the two teams that get there are good. And if you're going to win the darn state, you've got to play who is in your way anyway.

When we shoot well, we're pretty darn good. We always try to defend and rebound, but we look better when we make shots. Today, we were pretty hard to guard.

Sentiment on Wall Street has gotten to an 18-month low. When sentiment gets this bad, you know the bounce is pretty darn close.

Shafer was pretty darn good today. I've never seen more balls hit off the handle in all of my life. If we were using wooden bats, they'd be shattered all over the field.

Since the trading deadline, this team has come together just like that. We've had five really good performances in terms of togetherness and effort, caring about one another and all of the stuff that's so darn important.

She is saying, 'Look, I know you don't want to stay up very late but darn it, every once in a while, I want to have some fun people around, a little music, a little dancing, a little wine, a little more fun at night.' And he says, 'OK dear.'

One of the things that make it so newsworthy is that it's pretty darn unique for the sport. The allegations are very disturbing on their own merits, and that is magnified because it's lacrosse.

One, I think it showed that the game was really important, but secondly, how that was handled was maybe the best thing that happened today. It was so darn good. This has been the classiest league in the country since its inception.

Neil set darn near every record that we have. He's set the bar and he's set it very, very high.

Obviously, the big issue is we're not winning any gosh darn games. It's gnawing at us as a team and a coaching staff. I don't like to be a coach that talks about playing well if we're not winning, but we've got goaltending that put us in position to win both games. The plain clear thing is that we've lost the scoring touch.

Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.

New stuff was ordered pretty darn quickly. We're a very big (school) district, so the cash flow allows for things like that, I believe.

I was sitting there thinking we keep making a mistake here and there. And that's because everyone is trying so darn hard. And I appreciate that.

I would say Detroit, Indiana, Cleveland, Jersey, darn near every good, solid team in the East. The Lakers, I think it's more of a TV-rating rivalry than a real rivalry. If we could both make it to the Finals a couple of years in a row, then it could be a real rivalry.

If we're not (peaking), we are really darn close. I hope we are just really darn close. I don't want to peak just yet. I would like to see us peak in a couple more weeks when we are at regions.

If we hit the ball, we'll be pretty darn good.

If they want to vote against him, you know darn well they're captives of these ... very liberal outside groups ... and they're demanding they vote against him even though they don't have one good reason to, ... I really don't believe that's the case but if that happens, then you can see why we're in such a partisan gridlock here in Washington, because the Democrats can't even support someone this good.

I am fairly optimistic that something will happen, even though I don't know a darn thing,

Carl is a darn good one (driver), no doubt about that,

But sometimes you find that one guy who has just the right intangibles for the job he's in. I think that's Charlie at Notre Dame. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get them back in the national mix again, and I think it'll happen pretty darn fast. When he wound up with the job, I said then, 'This is probably going to be their next Lou Holtz.'

Because VC firms are managing other people's money, they are on the line to produce returns, ... The demonstrated potential for return has to be darn good.

I have always liked the AFL because it gives the best prospects in the game a chance to play against each other and polish their skills in a competitive environment. It also can give them confidence going into the next season if they do well. The results have been pretty darn good.

I had unbelievable credibility as a hedge fund manager (at Cramer Berkowitz), but who cares? If I'm obstreperous, funny, I'm bringing people in, not turning them off. My industry has been operating through mystification and confusion. Fie on us. I'm having a darn good time,

If (Brink) falls on his face, we're lucky as heck to have a darn good guy right behind him. It's a tough, tough decision. I love Josh like a son, and it's hard to tell a guy that the other guy's (it). But he's a man, and he was very good with it. He's still going to help this team and he's still going to compete for that job.

I did notice it, ... And I thought it was ironic. It brought back memories. The whole experience was so darn much fun.

Given the amount of money we spend on our health care system, it would be pretty scandalous if we weren't high up there. We get an 'A' in access (to emergency care), only because the rest of the darn nation is so bad.

Franz was the artist who taught us charcoal drawing, which was done with a burned coal stick. He was a darn good painter and painted most of the Quaker Meeting Houses in our area. He was a great teacher.

Frankly, this is a darn good economy to start with. He's inheriting an asset, not a liability. It's not as if he's swimming upstream.

From here we go up and we haven't hit May 1. If we have a refinery disruption, we could see $3.50 or darn near $4.

I don?t remember the last time I played in a game, so I?m excited to see what (Thursday) brings. I?m not going to say there?s absolutely no pain, but I can play. Let?s just say, I feel pretty darn good.

I don't want people to be afraid of skiing because it's awfully fun. It's a darn good time. I really think you need to have a partner where you partner up and the two of you work it out where the top person watches the first person go down. That person stops and watches the other. And make sure they're nowhere near a tree.

If it is something major, I have to prepare myself for not being able to pitch for a pretty darn long time,

I always like jumping spiders. They're just so darn cute.

He did a good job at disrupting things. Erik is so darn quick at the nose man, he creates a lot of problems for offensive blocking schemes. (And at linebacker), he has a nose for the football.

He has to calm his mechanics down. When he does, he's pretty darn good. Maybe if we can play enough games, the league will beat it out of him to the point where, out of necessity, he slows down a little bit in some of the key fundamentals.

He is a heck of a player. He played in 23 games for us this year, and he scored in double figures in all 23. That?s pretty darn consistent.

We're obviously disappointed with the loss but the defense was pretty darn good. We just need more consistency on the offensive end.

We've done some darn important things over 40 years.

We are feeling pretty darn confident, and this news today really makes us confident we will reach the goal.

He's a little guy, but he's a darn good pitcher.

He's a very smart, very bright kid, so we knew he could quarterback the defense, ... We felt he could run pretty darn well, and if he would hit somebody, which we thought he would because we watched him block as a fullback, that he could pick it up pretty fast. And the rest is history.

He's going to be darn good. You've got to remember he's only 20 years old. You don't see arms like his come along very often.

We made some mistakes, but we overcame them. We did some dumb things, but we overcame them. I thought as a whole, we played pretty darn good.

He was pretty darn tired. But I wasn't going to take him out at the end of the game.

Guess we're even with the 17 car. We'd gotten around him. He bumped me up the track. We came in and got four fresh tires there at the end, but we were just so darn loose that we couldn't use them to our advantage.

I wouldn't say it was a world record in achievement for Puget Sound, but it was pretty darn close to it. We waited for a white mushroom cloud, but it never happened. I'm pleased with the outcome, the state is and so are the tribes. We protected the stocks we needed to, and it was extremely cooperative.

I think it's actually easier for me to simulate Vick than Peyton Manning, but you can't mimic him to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and fling the thing 65 or 70 yards off your back foot (like Vick can). I've got a little bit of a burst, but I can't run a 4.2, that's for darn sure. You see guys on film take the wrong angle on him all the time because he's so fast. You know he's fast, but you don't know how fast until you watch him in person.

I think Willingham did a good job of keeping Washington state kids at home, went out and got some good ones out of California and sprinkled in some junior college guys. It looks like a pretty darn good class.

I was disappointed with our inability to be stronger in the defensive zone (in the third period). I understand why, but we were pretty darn good through two periods.

I think we have beaten some pretty darn good football teams and have been fairly consistent throughout the year. We've got a talented defense. We have a good running game and we are looking forward to seeing what we can do. Every year there are dark horses that jump onto the scene.

I thought overall he was pretty darn good today. He really showed a lot of character after giving up three in the first inning to keep us in that ball game.

I thought our defense in the first half was pretty darn good, in the first aspect of it. But, we didn't finish the defense on several occasions. We had situations where we had traps, and I credit Roy and his players because those traps were not sustained.

I think we've put three people in double figures just about every game. or pretty darn close to it. You have to focus and key on Crystal, but now with kids who can shoot it and can rebound it, we're a tough team to defend.

I think this is real special that they're doing this for me. We won a lot of games and a lot of those kids turned out to do some darn good things. There were a lot of people to thank for that. I had two great presidents, a great athletic director and great fans. I just never realized how good I had it.

I think we can be pretty darn sure he's not another Scalia.

I think the underlying economy is still pretty darn good.

Just answer the darn question and get rid of it.

Kyle Brown was darn near impossible to guard.

I saw some pretty darn good things. But a lot of the guys need to get in better shape.

I saw a poll that said the right track/wrong track in Iraq was better than here in America. It was pretty darn strong. I mean, the people see a better future,

Our power management is pretty darn good with this device,

Our offensive line answered the bell tonight. It's been a while since we've had one of those games from our line. But it was pretty darn good football.

Our new owners, after losing $60 in one week, they didn't want that anymore. It used to be people sneaking in and sneaking out with, like, $5 at a time. Now they're filling the whole darn tank and driving off.

That darn first period. If we had a game we could start without the first period, we'd be in business.

That defense was pretty darn effective. Hopefully, we will mature and get stronger next season. That will enable us to do the things we need to do.

Martin seems to have a very, very good base of the quarterback position. I think the position looks like it's in pretty darn good hands.

I was in his kitchen about a month ago telling him, 'You've got to have another dinner for your fund because it's your legacy,' ... He was always scared he wouldn't sell any tickets but the darn place was overflowing all the time. It was a testimony to this guy.

I think if we can condition our minds we can be pretty darn successful.

I thought he was pretty darn good tonight. We tested him.

I thought Matt played pretty darn well. I thought he managed the game well. I liked his competitive spirit.

We've told the insurance companies if there's been flood damage, you'd better be darn sure those cars don't end up back on the streets.

That was huge. We practice our two minute offense a bunch being a throwing team. We executed really well. It fell together pretty good. What can you say about that sophomore quarterback (Matt Brown). He did a darn good job and he took some shots tonight. He's a tough nut and he's a good kid. He's getting to be a pretty good quarterback. He's really come a long way.

That was like death. It was a tie game except for the four-ender. We split the day 1-1 and it was a good kick in the pants. They're pretty darn good from lead to skip but we're pretty darn good too. We're not fearing them we just wish we would have brought a better game.

I would like to know I shot under par, ... If I play again, then it won't make any difference. If I don't play again, at least my last round was under par. I had a chance to shoot a pretty darn low round, but I messed it up.

My client's mindset? I don't think he's the most relaxed guy in the world coming here, but I think he's doing pretty darn well, and he's looking forward to this case finally being over.

Merv hates losing. He's a guy who expects excellence every time. We were pretty darn confident that we were going to get it done today. It's a hit, but he'll be all right.

We haven't said whether we are going to do it in the second quarter or we are going to do it on the third play or when we are going to do it. But we do want to definitely get him in the darn ballgame.

You can be darn sure that you folks will not be asked to do anything that we won't be able to do.

Winning golf tournaments is what's important to me. If I said that, even though I've had a decent career and 10 wins, you would probably think I was pretty darn arrogant.

Well, darn her anyway. I wonder why she left Baby Island off?

We're all kind of happy. To perform at a pretty high level gives us some incentive that we're capable of maybe doing some better things. ... We were pretty darn good defensively.

We have taken a look at Woodland and we have looked at them every way that there is to look at them. The only thing you can say is that they are a darn good football team.

Which is pretty darn good, isn't it? Give me the same old Leonard and I'll be fine with that.

Well it is a darn shame we have to have something bad happen to get people interested, but that's kind of what it takes. And if there's any benefit at all from disasters outside of our area, it would be that, that other people say well it could happen to me.

We had to press them because they are so darn big and their big men are so well-coached.

We're way down on the low range of what people have estimated before. The recharge rate to the High Plains Aquifer is actually pretty darn small.

With the team we had in (the 4x400), that's pretty darn good. They ran exceptionally well. In a meet like this, you kind of have to be satisfied with whatever you can get because there's so many good people in it. They bring out the best in you.

We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.
