Throws Quotations

I react very badly when mediocrity throws a tantrum of entitlement.

You have to try to take what life throws at you with grace and equanimity.

I was black and blue for about two years, but it's paid off tremendously. You know, if you get enough whacks, your reflexes pick up, and I've become quite good - if somebody throws keys or something, I can catch them.

A single human brain has about a hundred million nerve cells... and a computer program that throws light on the mind/brain problem will have to incorporate the deepest insights of biologists, nerve scientists, psychologists, physiologists, linguists, social scientists, and even philosophers.

Technology is neutral and sterile. Now, technology is the nature of modern man; it is our environment and our horizon. Of course, every work of man is a negation of nature, but at the same time, it is a bridge between nature and us. Technology changes nature in a more radical and decisive manner: it throws it out.

Sometimes I rush my swing because I am so anxious to play well. In Cuba, the quality of the pitching is not the same as it is here. There you might find one or two pitchers at 94 or 95 mph. Here, every day I find several, and each pitcher who comes along throws his hardest stuff.

When you see Major League Baseball putting academies in other countries, obviously that throws up a red flag. You wonder why they ain't going up in our neighborhood. Bottom line, what I see, I talk about... I see it over and over. If anybody can show me I'm wrong, then show me.

But my method of the pillar, as it throws the horse yet more upon the haunches, is still more effectual to this purpose, and besides always gives him the ply to the side he goes of.

For one who feels compelled, as I do, to accept the existence of the Master Architect, it is important to examine his handiwork for the light it throws on him and on his program for his children. For me, there has been no serious difficulty in reconciling the principles of true science with the principles of true religion.

We were having a sleepover when I was eight or nine, and we all got to stay up late and watch the original 'Frankenstein.' It was uncensored, so as a child, I saw the scene where he throws the little girl into the lake, and that freaked me out. Though not as much as when he hangs the hunchback.

I love the idea of things being strict and things being uniform. That's the reason why I surround each collection with humor or irony. I want to make sure that it's not too serious and that there is some element that throws it off because otherwise that would make it really boring. There's always a story that's somewhat fantastical.

The main secret for a horse that is heavy upon the hand, is for the rider to have a very light one; for when he finds nothing to bear upon with his mouth, he infallibly throws himself upon the haunches for his own security.

One of the advantages of this found footage format is that you can have deliberately badly composed frames. Here we can put a camera in the weirdest angle and it kind of throws you off. You never know what you are supposed to be paying attention to. It's deliberate chaos.

Learn to expect less from life and more from yourself. Accept the changes that life throws at you. Remember, your destiny is pretty much in your hands. So, as your mom may have told you, keep them clean.

I love the Coen brothers. They're so brilliant, and they always surprise you in one way or another. 'A Serious Man' was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected.

It doesn't matter what the scoreboard says. I'm always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That's me. I don't think I will ever change that.

People get this very romantic vision of a fashion designer who in one night makes 25 sketches and in the morning throws them on the table and there are a lot of women in white aprons with the pins on the lapel and they start to grab the sketches and... It's not like that.

If the present Mrs. Wogan has a fault - and I must tread carefully here - if she has a fault, this gem in the diadem of womanhood is a hoarder. She never throws anything out. Which may explain the longevity of our marriage.

Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.

I was talking to Coach Wooden after I had signed at UCLA and over the summer, and we used to talk all the time. The thing is, talking to Bill Walton, once you throw in your two cents, he throws in the other 98 cents. He will not stop talking, I'll tell you what.

And as you point out, for American families who struggle every day to figure out how do they pay, we talk about gasoline prices. That throws budgets into a real problem when you have budgeted really tight.

Now, the people that helped get Obama elected, who think Israel is a good idea, need to wake up and tell him they're our friends, let's preserve them. And then it would happen. Because that's the only kind of thing he responds to. But he throws our friends under the bus and rewards our enemies.

I do have a tendency to talk a lot at the poker table, which throws people off because they spend a lot of time trying to read me. But I talk a lot when I have a good hand and when I have a bad hand, too. Sometimes it annoys people so much they can't wait to get out of the tournament. And that can only be good for me.

God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

One of the things I don't like about film is its incredible immersive quality. It's kind of bullying - it's very big, it's very flashy, it's got a lot of weight and it throws it around almost to the detriment of the rest of our culture.

Literature throws us many great heroes. Real life invariably outdoes them.

I've been into Sonic Youth since junior high school. I think I kind of have ADD, so it's good music for ADD because it just throws you in different directions all the time. I really like Kim Gordon's voice and Thurston Moore's voice, and I like the guitars going off on tangents.

We have to be aware that the scientific community throws up tons of different hypotheses and at a certain point we'll find out who was right and who was wrong. But we have to go with the best information right now, which I would claim to be the IPCC reports.

We need to let the referee's sole thing be to protect the quarterback and get those late hits out of there. They even have a stat on television that says 'knockdowns.' Knockdowns means that you knock him down after he throws the ball. The assumption is, if it's legal, we'll make excuses for them.

We never intend to lose our jobs, break up with our live-in loves, or face any number of the curveballs life throws our way. But they happen all the same, so have a bailout plan just in case. Sounds corny, but I call this the 'freedom fund' because it gives you the freedom to get out of a jam without climbing into debt.

When I was a kid, I would come home from school, throw my bag, go out to play. My daughter comes home from school, throws her bag, goes to play, but sitting in front of the computer because their definition of play has changed. They don't go out to play. They play on the computer with their friends.

I'm not as tech savvy as some YouTubers, but I'm a lot better than my grandparents. Whenever I have a technical question, or something isn't working, I ask Google, and that usually throws up the answer.

I think - I honestly think that my story is not 100 percent that unique. I think that I'm - just the whole rock star part kind of throws an interesting twist on it.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

We started strong in the first quarter. In that last quarter, we could not make our free throws and lost our composure. It was a real good, close game.

We stuck with what we do and we made plays. These kids deserve credit. Craig made the big shot and we made enough free throws down the stretch.

We struggled at free throws all year long. In the end, our kids stepped up and got some huge rebounds for us.

We spent nine hours today on them. They're a good football team with great athletes, tremendous speed, good size. They run the ball well and they've got a couple great receivers. Their quarterback throws the ball well and they're big up front. Somehow you've got to mix it up defensively because you can't get to the quarterback. He gets rid of the ball so quickly.

What the young one begs for, the grown-up throws away

When we go to the basket and get in a situation where they have to foul us, we shoot pressure free throws very well.

We gutted it out, handled pressure and made free throws at the end. We've got guys with a lot of character. When you make a state tournament run, you have to have kids who make plays.

We got what we wanted. They missed both free throws and we had a chance to get the rebound. If we had gotten it and scored with 30-35 seconds left, it's a two-possession game.

We brought Olivia in. She throws a little harder (than Seymour) and she was hitting her spots.

We fatigued a little bit and didn't execute. Against a team like that, we've got to play perfect basketball. You have to make free throws and can't have any unforced errors.

We're not a great free throw shooting team but the fact that we could make that many free throws here when we had to make them, I think that's a great sign for our guys.

We're real even matched teams. That one could have went either way. There were just so many turning points. Obviously, the key was Ashley knocking down some key free throws at the end of the game.

We knocked down our free throws the fourth quarter and still took it to the basket. We weren't tentative, and that's really a good step for a young team. We know that almost all our scoring has to come from guys who haven't played much. Our seniors are role players, they don't score much.

We knew we were going to have to make our free throws to win.

We let the game get close by missing free throws in the fourth quarter. We were lucky to pull out the win!

We know he's got a very fine arm, and he throws 96-97 and throws all his body at you. I took some good swings, he challenged me, and you tip your cap.

We're looking for him to have a good year. He's one of our captains, he takes charge in the huddle. He throws the ball very accurately and he's probably one of our two or three best runners.

We were awful. No intensity, we got crushed on the boards, breakdowns at both ends and all those missed free throws in a three-point loss.

We've won some big games at the line this year, and we've lost some at the line. We know how important free throws are.

We'll see some screens and throws to the running backs. I'm sure Travis Henry and Chris Brown can catch very well.

We did not finish the game very good and we're not making our free throws. Even though we are getting these wins, we're not making free throws and that could be trouble.

We did not convert our free throws late in the game. Luce made a great shot. I let my team down my making a few bad coaching decisions. This was a tough loss.

The only way I'll get out on the field is if I run out there to give Anthony Morelli a high-five after he throws a touchdown pass or something.

We really emphasize free-throw shooting and our whole team's ability to shoot free throws well at this time of the year is really important to our success.

We're asking him to make a big jump from junior high to high school. He's very quick and is poised. It will be interesting to see how he does. He runs fast and throws strikes when he pitches. He's a student of the game.

We held them to 15 baskets, but the free throws were too much to overcome.

We hold then to 40 percent from the floor, they shoot nine free throws but we turn it over 17 times. We need to shoot a higher percentage and get to the line more.

We didn't take care of the basketball and we didn't concentrate on knocking down our free throws. I think if we made our free throws in the first half, it would have trickled down to the second half.

We've won some close games this year, and we're gaining confidence. It would be great to win a game by 20 points, but we'll take the wins any way we can get them. This was a great win for us, and the offense really stepped up. Some of the kids hit some big free throws and grabbed some big defensive rebounds tonight.

The fact that it is set in a phantasmagorical island somewhere in ancient Sri Lanka throws up immense possibilities to explore this cultural hybrid, whether it's through costumes, sets or simply because of the Hindu environment that forms the spine of the story.

There is a lot of deception in his delivery. He throws a nice breaking ball and fastball, and he locates well.

This puts us back in the hunt for the MIC. This is a nice win, we hit free throws and we handled the press well.

We've talked about that for awhile, ... It's something we'll continue to look at very closely. ... His velocity is good and at times he throws to his pitching spots, and that needs to continue. ... We feel he has enough in his tank to do what any of our starters need to do down the stretch.

When he hits his spots and throws that hard, nobody is going to hit him. He could have pitched against Manatee Community College and struck out all those guys.

When I look at that, I don't see that. Did he miss some throws that he should have made? Sure, and I'm sure he will tell you that as well. I don't see where that injury is doing something specifically to his throwing mechanics. I wish I could tell you I saw that.

When you can shoot it from the outside, score inside and hit your free throws you are going to put up some good numbers.

We made a lot of free throws tonight and that was very nice to see. We have not been the best free throw shooting team around this season, but we made them tonight when we had to.

Like a quarterback for a football team, CEOs get to take all of the credit when things go well and have to take all of the blame when things go badly. Yet legally, they are not held accountable. When a quarterback fumbles, throws a few interceptions, maybe even throws the game, the coach has a responsibility to bench him, so that no more follies will occur.

Make free throws. I told the girls, 'Let's make some free throws and don't foul.' That's how I felt. Let's make those free throws, and B.T. and Miranda made two of them. Not just one of them, but two of them, and that was great.

Luckily, Chelsea hit those free throws at the end. If we would have made them at the beginning, it wouldn't have been that close, but we made them when it counted.

LUMINARY, n. One who throws light upon a subject; as an editor by not writing about it.

Leon is really a highly competitive person. When he was struggling shooting free throws earlier in the year, he was getting up at 5 in the morning and going to a gym near his home and shooting free throws. Then he came up with a couple of 10-for-10 games, 10-for-12, 12-for-15. I think that's a testimony to who he is.

Loughran played great. He was naturally in the flow of things. He got good looks, open shots, and his body language and everything was good. He was on fire. Cassels has been terrific, he's really been stepping up in the stretch run, pushing his teammates and getting the ball to the right people at the right time. And the rebounds for Ryder, Grant and Schneider were a big part of the run. A lot of people contributed, and we made our free throws down the stretch.

So many of these plays are set plays, where it's five guys running their specific route and the quarterback throws the ball to whoever the defense dictates is going to get the ball. Whereas in the past, it was each receiver would do certain things to adjust his route to try to get open.

She throws the ball well when she pitches within herself. She has to try to get the ball over and limit the walks. We have a good fielding team.

She throws the ball really well from behind the plate. She is young and still has a lot to work on, but she definitely can do a good job of picking off runners.

She throws hard and has good command of the strike zone.

She was our extra scorer a lot. She's just really competitive. She was our outside threat. And we won a couple of games with her shooting free throws down the stretch.

She's hit game-winning free throws for us all year. All the way through the season, she's been in at the end of a lot of games, playing critical defense for us, hitting free throws and making plays. She's an amazing talent.

She's our life source. When she throws the ball well, we are a hard team to beat.

She's one of the toughest girls I've ever met. When she gets on the ice, she throws her weight around. She's a tough competitor.

Shumaker will be our horse. He throws in the upper 60s and low 70s in big games.

Short fiction is like low relief. And if your story has no humor in it, then you're trying to look at something in the pitch dark. With the light of humor, it throws what you're writing into relief so that you can actually see it.

Shooting those 100 free throws every day definitely helped us. I just try to keep moving before I take my shot.

Shooting free throws has been a strength of ours all year. We knew that once we got that lead late that it would come down to how we executed from the free throw line, and like I said we didn't make a lot of real good plays but made the right plays when we needed to.

She came up with a hustle play and was able to knock those free throws down. That was just a huge play in a tight game like this.

She (Craig) just got a hold of it and hit it well. Kate throws so hard, so when somebody really connects, it could go a long way. But we know we can't sit on one run against Reed. They are too good of a team.

She has done an amazing job. She's got a lot more pitches, and she still throws hard.

She has already easily beaten her best throws from last year and she's just consistently getting better each meet.

She has a great fastball (62 mph), but she has developed a couple of other pitches to where she throws a curve, drop and rise. She has made the move offensively to a left-handed slap hitter and now a left-handed hitter who can hit it over your head.

She had some big shots from that left side and hit some big free throws. Both her and Shannon (Eggers) hit some key free throws and in our losses, we didn't do that.

Shannon Burke probably played her best game of her high school career, making threes, making free throws and attacking the hoop.

She's a great shooter. Fortunately, we hit some big free throws and had some really big stops on defense at the end.

She's about 5-9, and she generates a lot of power. She throws the ball harder than any girl in the league and I think it's safe to say she throws it harder than most boys her age. She has a lot of talent for the sport.
