Points Quotations | Page 6

Poets are the only people to whom love is not only a crucial, I've always felt that a person's intelligence is directly reflected by the number of conflicting points of view he can entertain simultaneously on the same topic.

Personally, I think we'll be pretty good. I think we're a defensive, stopping team, I think we'll score more points than a lot of people think that we will, but I mean I think we'll be pretty good.

One thing Jimmie does do is help our defense. He usually gets a steal, here or there, and helps get our transition game going. He's always a capable scorer. He can reel off three, five or seven points in a row. Hopefully, we'll get him back to full strength real soon.

One thing I would like to point out is that Chad Harris has become the fifth player at East Henderson to score over 1,000 points in his career.

Nick Owens fouled out with 2:44 left in overtime and we thought we were in trouble. It was just one of those games that was big play after big play. This is the same team that beat us by two points two weeks ago in the Hammond Tournament.

Nick Cardy's work helped define some of the things we see in comics today and take for granted. He broke out of the mold in terms of covers and layout and created a truly interactive experience for the reader that directly points back to his time with the Eisner studio.

Nic is ironclad when it comes to defense, it is really hard to get points against him. He has also improved his offensive thrust and his net play has been phenomenal.

NFA is a very quick team. Instead of trying to make short passes, we did too much dribbling and turned the ball over. I was very happy with our defense, though. We held a good NFA team to 40 points until we ran out of gas late. We're primarily playing six guys, and Browning is just coming back off the flu.

Nicky has had a good season and Amato is playing important minutes. Brunet scores points for us and defensively gets the assignment of the opponent's best player. There have been times when Ashley has been unstoppable in the low post.

Nobody knew he was hurt because he wanted the two points on the lay-up so bad. He drove all the way down and dunked the ball, and then blood was rushing out of his nose. That's who he is. He'll fight through anything. I love him, respect him, admire him and I wish more of our guys would take on his attitude.

Nevertheless, limited core inflation in January will not deter the ECB from hiking interest rates by a further 25 basis points on Thursday.

Nineteen points wasn't going to get it done for us. Nineteen points for some teams and being up by two, that's fine for some teams, but we felt the tempo wasn't in our favor and we also felt we didn't move the ball well.

New teachers will more than meet the required 30 points by attending the early release sessions,

On the prices paid index, you're down 50 points from the highs in October, which the bond market clearly likes.

On offense we couldn't do anything. They were tough and they slowed us down. We only scored 16 points in the first half.

Only three relief points will be opened on November 7 along the Line of Control (LoC),

One of the major points we've discovered over the last year is that it's not as easy to run an online business as people think. If there's one thing Amazon has proven expertise at, it's the ability to offer a good customer experience.

One of the likely sticking points in the pending sale of GMAC may well be resolution on Delphi, further emphasizing GM's interest in avoiding a labor dispute.

One of the least appealing aspects of modern presidential candidates is that, to avoid saying anything that might prove to be an embarrassing, costly blunder, they cling to a rigid set of talking points that reveal as little as possible about what they really think and who they really are.

One of the keys for us this game was Norton tying up Biggs. He (Biggs) got his points but David did a great job limiting what he could do by not letting him get the ball.

One of the key points to me is the lack of communication (among these departments). I don't understand why you don't have that. And why did the officers leave their point of cover? That completely violates standard police doctrine.

One of the goals we have set for this year is that we never want to get beat by seven points or less, ... That might sound funny, but if you look at last year's results, we lost three games by seven or less. We could have gone into the tournament with five wins instead of two wins, and then that confidence would have been there. So there are opportunities to improve our record dramatically by winning the close games.

One of the first thoughts that ran through my mind was like, 'I guess Shaq was right.' Meaning, he takes more shots than he should. You know, 30 points should be enough for him. What'd he have, like three assists or something like that?

One of the points we want to make is we're regular rural folks. We're not California Democrats, Washington Democrats, or even Austin Democrats. We don't want to be defined by what people think we are.

One of the great strong points of this university is the lack of institutional barriers to this kind of thing. In some very top-down universities, it's very hard to collaborate with people outside your departments, if not impossible. But here, it's quite open and has been for quite some time.

One of the dominant worries here is the question of whether we're going to see any building of inventory that will result in 1Q weakening. But as the data points have rolled in, that appears to be less and less the case. That's pretty important, and you can see it, in particular, in some of the communications stocks that are moving.

I was happy for Eileen because she had eight points and she had been playing very well recently, but her shot hadn't been falling and though she had been playing well, her name hadn't been showing up in the box scores. She was making great rebounds and making great passes off the rebounds.

I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.

I was fighting, and it was pretty much all I had, ... It didn't feel good, and I wasn't moving to any balls. I was trying to shorten points and just do what I could.

I was so proud of the way we played defensively. Anytime you hold a team to 28 points you should win the game. You shouldn't be grinding it out with two seconds to go.

I was real proud of our team that we hung in there and didn't put our head down. A few months ago, we would have done that getting down 15 points or so.

I was really surprised by the boys winning the meet. Molalla has battled us close all year each time we've met. Sometimes we've gained more points and sometimes Molalla has.

I was surprised. Typically, the fences are higher. Maybe I got extra points for that.

I was surprised about the first two sets because Ivan played different tactics compared to the other two matches he played when he won. But I expected him to play better and even though three match points went I knew it wasn't the end.

I was so frustrated with our last loss I said I'll fix it. Tonight I just wanted to attack and send a message. The reason I scored 62 points was because I wanted to win so bad. I just felt that I could continually attack these guys. It's a great feeling that I could do it here in front of our fans and give them an early Christmas present.

I wouldn't say we have nothing to lose. If we were beaten, Hearts would move nine points in front of us and that would maybe be too much to catch up. A win would be fantastic but a draw would not be terrible for us.

I wouldn't encourage him to pick himself, but I would love for him to make it. Certainly he's got major-championship-type game. We've seen him there a bunch in majors. If he gets on a roll and gets a bunch of points and has a couple good majors, we want him on the team.

I would have thought that if we gave up 70 points we would have lost the game.

I would have said you were crazy if you told me we would score eight points in the second half and win. That was the best first quarter we've had all year, but we tightened up quite a bit in the second half and lost our confidence.

I would have rather had eight points and a win than whatever I had tonight and to lose. We showed some good signs in coming back as we did. But we're not going to win too many games falling behind by 16 or 17 points like we did.

I would have never expected he had that many. But he gets his points in bunches.

I would be surprised if there were significant appreciation. Whatever the premium is, three or four points ... because 85 percent of the company is still going to be coming, there is not much they can do to please the public on the upside.

I would have liked to have 12 points but we must learn our lessons. I don't think England are the best team in Europe but they are one of the best with three young forwards and a good defense.

I would have felt better if we were going into halftime about three minutes earlier. We held them to zero points for the first five minutes (of the second quarter) and then we started fouling them and sending them to the line.

I worked really hard when I was off, because that's all I could really do. It's just a matter of putting points together and kind of remembering how I played.

I was prepared for a long match today. The less time I had to spend on court, the better. I was trying to make the points shorter and save some energy.

I was prepared for a long match. As soon as I had an opportunity I was trying to make the points shorter and save energy. I'm happy with the consistency of my game, and I tried to keep it up and win as many points as possible.

I was pleased with the way we played. Seattle's a dangerous team, the way they can put points on the board quickly, because they can create turnovers and their three-point shot is effective. It was good to get it -- we had a couple moments -- but to hang onto a double-digit lead for most of the game, it's good we kept that margin.

I was pleased with our defense in the second half. We held Stout 20 points below their season average. We were right there with them. Unfortunately, we couldn't get our shots to go in.

I guess if you're going to be successful, you have to win different ways. I thought we struggled offensively, and I give the credit to (Loyola). They're long and athletic and well-coached, and it's difficult to play against them. But I thought we defended extremely well. To hold (Loyola) to 50 points is quite an accomplishment. And we rebounded the basketball.

I grew up watching him play on the Bulls. Between him and Michael Jordan I would've rather seen Toni score 30 points in a game.

If we don't pull three out of the four points this weekend, we're not going to catch them. It's going to be impossible. They're up five (points) on us right now. They'll be up nine if they sweep. I'm not even thinking about that.

If we go and see hundreds of different market resources, you are seeing hundreds of different points of view, and once in a while, my experience is, you will come across one or two that are just outstanding, and you never would have thought of them.

If we find him dead, I think the Dow goes up 100 points and it's a short-term top. If we catch him alive, the market goes up maybe 50 points and then goes down.

If we're able to have community energy and participation in the process, it has a lot of political power because it represents people with different points of view about downtown, coming together.

If we play well and capitalize on every drive, I think we could score 100 points. I think if we're going to do it, we need to do it next week. But we're not worried about points. As long as we're moving the ball and getting first downs, the points will come.

If we had lost today we would have definitely been out because they would have been 10 points ahead of us but we are still in it based on today's result.

If we had hustle points he'd be one of our leaders. He does all the little things that make a winning team. We're glad to have him.

If we guard, we're a tough team to beat, because we're able to put points on the board. Really, it just came down to us getting stops, and if they tried to make a run, we had to answer.

If we had the (kids with illness and injuries) with us, we'd feel pretty good about the weekend. It's going to limit us as to the points we can score.

If we're in a situation where I need to put points on the board, then I'll do it. I really do it on a needed basis. I don't do it just to do it. I don't try to go into a game saying, 'this is what I'm going to do.' We've had a couple games where my teammates were struggling shooting the ball. Then I take it over.

If they raise 25 basis points and sound worried about inflation the market may get demoralized,

If we can get three points this week we'll put ourselves in a good position to beat the drop.

If we can get six points from our four remaining matches, that should do the trick for us.

If we can get our 20-plus points in the first quarter, it seems to be a real key to us as far as getting a 'W'. The games that we've lost, they've been games where we haven't scored a lot in the first quarter.

If they want to come out, that's fine. It doesn't bother me. This is a campaign, and we have different points of view. Clearly Mr. Webb has been a Republican all his life, so he has a different view of the world than I do.

If they try and play us big, one of the main things we're going to have to do is defend and get out there and rebound. That's one of the focal points this year is rebounding more than anything.

If they start to pick up points then those people who are subjected to the loss of points will probably be very vocal about it.

If this comes to bear, the current 200 basis points advantage for U.S. cash will be preserved through July and ensure the U.S. enjoys sufficient foreign capital inflows.

If we can pick up six points from two games then we can close up on the teams above us and make a real fight of it.

If we come out of this weekend with the same kind of points lead, I think we will be able to breathe a little easier,

I have greatly enjoyed my collaborations with Howard Shore, whose musical themes made immeasurable contributions to 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, ... During the last few weeks, Howard and I came to realize that we had differing creative aspirations for the score of 'King Kong.' Rather than waste time arguing with a friend and trying to unify our points of view, we decided amicably to let another composer score the film. I'm looking forward to working with James Newton Howard, a composer whose work I've long admired, and I thank Howard Shore, whose talent is surpassed only by his graciousness.

I have challenged my players. They have worked hard - but now we must press on and in addition to playing well we must look to win points and be consistent.

I don't have an answer. Little mistakes give up big plays. You have to finish. You have to have more points on the scoreboard than the other team.

I don't know anybody out there who is not expecting the Bank of Canada to hike 25 basis points next week.

I didn't miss much of the key points and I put her under pressure. I couldn't ask for more, because Maria is number four in the world. I knew I had to come up with a great game and I did.

I didn't get any free points on my serve, which I usually do,

I didn't get any free points on my serve tonight, which I usually do. I could've been more aggressive and taken a few steps into the court, but I let her get into a rhythm too much and she was playing at the pace she likes. I'm glad that I was able to fight back a bit after 5-1 in the first, but I shouldn't have got into that position in the first place.

I don't feel at any point of the match that I really had any rhythm. I don't think I got nearly as many returns in today. ... It was a much more erratic match, where the points were just going fast. I didn't know quite what was going to happen.

I don't ever remember having a team that came from 20 points down and win. Of course, I don't remember being down 20 points at halftime many times either.

I don't feel like we're really in a catch-up mode, ... We had our bad week and even with that, we're only 23 points behind. We could take the points lead back this weekend very easily.

I don't get 35 points and we lose and I'm happy. I want to win.

I'd like to tell you that football, from the initial report that was presented from this time last year, is up 36 points and we feel football is moving in the right direction.

I'd like to maintain the team we have and see what we can do with it. I think we needed to be closer than seven points away to realistically keep this team together.

I'd like to maintain the team we have and see if we can do it, but it's really not my call. I really think we probably needed to be closer than seven points to really show that we can take this team farther than where it is right now.

I didn't do anything special with Carmelo except to stay with him. We knew we had enough points and that all we had to do is defend in the second half.

I didn't care if I scored a career high or no points at all. All I wanted was the win. Now I'm excited to go to the conference tournament and find out who we have to play.

I did some research, and 35 percent of their points come from the line. So we played behind the posts. We didn't try to fight to get over the top. We didn't want cheap fouls.

I don't know where we were defensively. I don't think we've given up 75 points to anyone all year. I think the girls were a little bit nervous and shell-shocked. They were prepared to defend everything we saw tonight, but I was disappointed with our defensive intensity and our offensive execution.

I don't know where the rally ends. There's nothing on the horizon that points to a substantial fall in prices. It takes time for a supply response to occur.

I don't know why we couldn't hold any team under 60 points a game. Now the problem is, can we score 61 points?

I don't know why they're criticized. They're averaging 30 points a game and almost 400 yards.

I don't care if it's a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs.

I don't care about points or stats or anything like that. All I care about is seeing our team play with great passion on defense. You can't be a good basketball program unless you truly believe that defense wins championships. We're getting there.

I don't agree with the refs at all, giving points like that. He has every right to be upset.

I couldn't have done it without my teammates. Getting 1,000 points is a nice accomplishment but the win means more to me.

Ideally we'd like three points for our Champions League ambition but it is always hard getting one when Harry has got Pompey in this sort of form.

(Idaho State) can put points on the board and have the players to do it, and I knew it was going to be a real battle. They gained some momentum and took the lead, then Erin Hicks hit two big three point shots which put us back up and it seemed like we took over from there.

I can easily see Asian automakers grabbing another three or four percentage points next year. I can see them taking 50 percent of the market eventually without breaking a sweat.

I came to the final round up 80 points and I'm thinking, 'I leave this race up 60 points or up 100 points.' That's huge.
