Handed Quotations

I have been a frequent air traveler since I was a few months shy of my sixth birthday, when my parents packed me off to boarding school two plane rides away from home.

Why should citizenship be a matter of birth? The premise held by those who want to end birthright citizenship is that some people deserve it and some do not - that the status shouldn't be handed out automatically. Frankly, that's a premise worth considering.

I knew from the start that I wanted my life to be about music.

When we handed this record in, it confused a lot of people, even within the band. That's what I love about it -- I just find it this big, beautiful mess. Sometimes, albums should be experiments, and people who truly understand us know that's all we were doing from the get-go.

'Whale Talk' is a tough book, but it is also a compassionate book about telling the truth and about redemption. I didn't draw the tough parts out of thin air; they are stories handed to me by people in pain.

What makes it really hard is it's not a reaction sport, ... This is a premeditation sport. You're walking down the fairway, considering what your options are on the next shot that you're going to hit, how you're going to handle it, where you're going to go with it what you're going to do ... you get your head handed to you a lot out here. You know, the people that do well out here are able to absorb that, deal with it, put it in a little compartment, send it somewhere where they don't need to be in and move on to the next step.

Mooney is rebuilding this year. They've handed it to us a pretty good time the last couple years. They're just young.

Neither of these goaltenders has ever been viewed as backups. They indeed are at different stages in their careers, but we saw that as a positive.

They both welcome the competition for minutes and don't expect to have anything handed to them.

If this law is implemented, it will not only limit First Amendment rights for Michigan's residents, but, by virtue of its vagueness, it will also create a huge amount of confusion for Michigan's retailers, parents, and video game developers.

I come from a different situation than most people. I've been handed a different set of chips, and I've tried to find my way with it.

He looks at this as a historic opportunity - handed to Congress by God - to actually reduce the size of government. Anything is open (for cuts).

We swam them earlier this year, and Rolla just annihilated us. It wasn't even close. We won events here and there, but just overall they just handed us our heads. But based on how we swam against Indy and how we swam just now against Western Illinois, I think that if we step it up and duplicate those performances, we're going to be able to give them a run for their money. It will be nail-biter. It will come down to every point.

We thought when we came here that we were going to be in the tournament every year. But I'm kind of glad how things worked out because we went through so much and worked so hard to get where we're at now ... It wasn't an easy road for us. Nothing was handed to us. We had to deal with many different issues and that makes it even sweeter.

Ours is a different physically tough game.

Keating understood the power of tradition yet he loved to break the rules and create a new orthodoxy. That's what he did as treasurer saying, in effect, that Labor runs a market model with equity, and it worked. When he became PM, he tried to construct a new set of Labor beliefs based on Asian engagement, reconciliation and the republic. For Keating, these weren't just policies; they were the new Labor template handed down from the mount. The trouble, of course, was his inability to convert a lot of the public.

I think it's a great shame they are suing a group of people who put all the profits of the event back into tennis. We think it's heavy handed that the action also includes all the individual members of the club.

I think the ideal situation would be if everyone had full coverage. Ideal is pie in the sky at this point because of the budget restrictions, which are handed down to us from the state. We can only do so much with the funding the state gives to us. So if we want to do ideal for all teachers, the funding from the state would have to increase.
