Wound Quotations

I initially got a job at Disneyland through a friend who was working there. He said, 'You would make a great princess there,' and that I should audition. So I just went on a whim to audition, and I wound up getting a job as Belle, from 'Beauty and the Beast,' at Disneyland. I did that for about a year and a half.

I have lived pain, and my life can tell: I only deepen the wound of the world when I neglect to give thanks the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives.

In the first gospel, Mark, the risen Christ appears physically to no one, but by the time we come to the last gospel, John, Thomas is invited to feel the nail prints in Christ's hands and feet and the spear wound in his side.

After graduation, I wanted to work for 'Sassy', which I loved, but it had folded. So I wound up at 'Seventeen' for three years on staff and two as a contributor, and I wrote these great stories that nobody ever believes 'Seventeen' does. Serious stories for teens about social justice issues - gun control, migrant farm workers.

I was too ashamed and afraid to confide in friends, and wanted to convince others and myself that my marriage was a success. I lost myself in my writing.

The booking agent had the audacity to take 10 percent, so we wound up with about $100 a week apiece.

And all of Laura's stuff, what they wrote originally wasn't as good and Constance wound up doing that herself. That was all her stuff, reading to the child, because she had children herself and that's what she would have done.

To be honest, we have no control over what's going on with a movie, much less what people are going to think of it. Your whole life is wound up in it but you don't have control and you have to get used to being on that turbulent plane without trying to fly it. The less you think about all that the better.

I wasn't even aware that there are different styles of taxidermy, traditional and rogue. I wound up really liking the rogue stuff the most, just because it is more artistic and people can go anywhere with it. That stuff I really liked. Honestly, I would have liked to buy some of those pieces.

You have to give a wound time to heal and think of other people's feelings.

People talk about the pain of defeat, but I think defeat has a lot of value. I think the wound of victory can be even more damaging than defeat. Very few people really know how to win.

Ours is a nation of laws: of citizens who live under them and for the citizens who enforce them. So, to a community in Ferguson that is rightly hurting and looking for answers, let me call once again for us to seek some understanding rather than simply holler at each other. Let's seek to heal rather than to wound each other.

When we continue to pick at the wound and show the pictures over and over again it just creates the image - which is a false image - that this is the sort of stuff that's happening anew, and it's not,

Women's Tongues are as sharp as two-edged Swords, and wound as much, when they are anger'd

We ran into lots of foundations that we didn't know were there. We found an oil well and wound up pulling a lot of dirty soil out of there, which was more expensive. We had to take it to a special dump, and then get the dirt clean to build on it. So we lost about eight months just getting started on the garage.

Nobody here has taken him and put him in a chair and tried to get him wound up so tight that he can't perform by breaking down his mechanics, ... We've kept things as simple as possible for a young left-handed pitcher to go out there and perform. I really believe that, at this point and time in the season, this is one of the more challenging things that's happened to him in his career. This'll be a good barometer of who and what he is.

On the last day, I wound up doing everything from carting flowers into the house to directing traffic.

I was fired from two agencies, and the first time, they padlocked my office, my assistant was crying and they were literally trying to take my Rolodex out of my hands -- which I later learned you are legally allowed to take -- as I was escorted from the building. The best thing was that they forgot to turn off my company car phone. And back then -- this was in 1989 -- your car phone bill could run $800 a month. I wound up using it for four more months.

I would read and write all night long and, as a result, wound up cutting a lot of my other classes.

I have chills. I've been wound up all week.

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.

When he wound up with the job, I said then, 'This is probably going to be their next Lou Holtz.'

But as luck would have it, Warner Bros. saw my screen test, put me under contract, and I wound up making Cheyenne.

I happened to fall into a job that wound up being a seminal piece of television history, which was a show I did on HBO called 'The Wire.' That experience really set the bar for me and opened a lot of doors. It also gave me a lot of street cred in terms of my phone ringing and job offers.

There are still a few things we can do to improve lap times, but basically we are pretty pleased with how the weekend's going. It's the first time back since I had the surgery on my foot, the wound has healed and I'm at 100 per cent. I'm happy to be back out on the bike fully fit.

I think we've played as well as we've played all year tonight. We definitely wanted the two points in regulation, but at least we wound up with them anyway.

I think that will be highly beneficial for the Villanova program. I believe they are up to the task.

I was with a longtime coach, I wound up moving with him to Florida, ... The training conditions weren't optimal down there. I had some friends here in Texas and pretty much it was a last-minute thing. I just felt that's what I had to do. I just had to put all my eggs in one basket.

Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside.

Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.
