Bill Evans Quotations

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

I dance because it makes me want to explode.

We use the people who are in the bullpen producing.

Casey was the better team and the better team won.

We are pleased to note that the recent run of strong data in Australia has seen markets lower that probability to only about 15 per cent.

We're going to miss all of the good things he's done for us. I think he's been a classic overachiever. Because you're an overachiever doesn't mean you're not a good player. But he's certainly maximized his talent, which I think is a tremendous compliment.

Yes, Steve will be at Apple Expo with other members of Apple's executive team.

When I graduated from this high school in 1980, I swore that I would never set foot in this place again.

Many species face degraded habitats at both ends of their migration flights and the thousands of towers are a new threat along the way.

Of course, the positives for consumers were considerable.

My first foray into Evan's late-career albums, and it's even better than I had hoped for. Eddie Gomez on bass, and Evans even plays electric piano on a couple of bonus tracks. But the real meat is the original album. It's heading where it needs to be, but there are moments of surprisingly upbeat swinging, as well - and a nice take on 'Theme From M*A*S*H' ('Suicide Is Painless'). Once you've gone through the original trio recordings, you're going to be hooked for all you can get by Evans.

Negative factors for consumers must include the 4.2 percent collapse in the share market in the days leading up to the survey. Consumers may also be somewhat frustrated the petrol prices have not come back further.

I expect a really well-coached, disciplined, talented basketball team coming in here to try and kick our butts. And we'll try to kick theirs.

We've got to stop the run, and nobody else has even come close to doing that.

Harrington gave us a lot of scares. He likes to cut back and he's low to the ground. We bent a few times but we didn't break, and we had a couple of goal-line stands inside the 15 that were good.

I would've been very happy to go into halftime at 6-0, but we had a couple upperclassmen get their bells rung and we didn't have the depth to cover it up. That touchdown was a back-breaker,

It appears that after a particularly volatile year in 2005 for consumer sentiment, we may be entering steadier times in 2006.

I think the key to the game was the way we defended as much as anything. But any time you make shots, things become easier.

People are complacent about interest rates now. The risk of the emerging strength in this data is that the media coverage of interest rate risk will start to intensify again and that will start to worry people.

People are complacent about interest rates now. There is a risk that the emerging strength of the data will result in more intense media coverage of the risk to interest rates.

Our 5 and 11 p.m. news had their strongest performance since we signed on.

Retailers will be disturbed to see that. Our view is that interest rates will remain steady for the rest of the year and most of 2006.

Our patience wasn't good enough. We didn't guard them in the post and they got easy baskets, but we've really got to take care of the basketball and good shots every time down the floor.

Ordinarily it would have been surprising that consumer sentiment did not increase for a fourth consecutive month, given the range of encouraging economic news.

Steve Barnes played the best game he's played since he's been a T-Bird. He was our best player tonight. He's got to play like that every single game.

Some people can make a lot of mistakes and still get a way with it because athleticism can make up for it. We're not that kind of team. We need to play within ourselves.

Mark was like a father figure to me.

I was happy that guys got a chance to play. I think that's an opportunity for those guys who work really hard in practice and don't get as many opportunities to play.

I think he can overmatch a lot of guys. Fernando's getting better, and he just needs to keep working.

We have some youth and inexperience on the offensive line and they were standing up a lot. Casey was teeing off on us in the second half,

Wage risks figure strongly in the central bank's concerns. Still, we expect we have reached the peak in wages pressure in Australia as slowing domestic demand is leading to cooling employment growth.

We have a mandate ... to protect ... the treaties, to ensure that they're there and that we don't give up any of our rights from the treaties,

We defended well, but we don't play up-and-down. They had 58 possessions and we only had 51. The games we play are usually (between 52 and 55).

We did this good, but we could do this better. We could take care of the ball better and attack the pressure better.

The RBA retains its tightening bias, albeit softer than in November.

We have consistently argued that there is little likelihood of a rate move over the next 12 months,

We like to go after absentee landlords. Just let us know.

We didn't get it going until the end of the first quarter, our third offensive possession,

The only thing different I know of is they shipped us a big shipment of bottled water; maybe, for the holiday weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of next week we're out of bottled water.

When you play music you discover a part of yourself that you never knew existed.

With debt servicing ratios at record highs, house prices likely to remain soft and petrol prices stressing some household budgets a sharp resurgence in consumer spending seems unlikely,

We are excited about the rapid success of what started as a small real estate investment firm. Our goal is to continue growing throughout the Southeast and we truly feel that we have reached a benchmark in our industry now that we have surpassed 9 million square feet and nearly $1 billion in assets.

The original mission of the Partnership for America's Future was to celebrate, enshrine and archive the great ideas of America's youth.

We look to 2007 for the next move when the current global move for higher interest rates is likely to be reversed and Australia will play its part.

We expect steady interest rates for the remainder of 2005 and most of 2006.

We don't think the inflation numbers are strong enough to justify a preemptive move and would bet against a hike next week.

We have done extremely well in the past decade with our capital and will take a somewhat more cautious approach targeting a minimum annual return of 15 percent.

Confidence is steadily improving from the lows of the second half of 2005, when sharp rises in petrol prices and interest rates uncertainty hampered consumers.

Confidence is steadily improving from the lows of the second half of 2005. Relatively stable petrol prices and continuing good news on the interest rate front have settled consumers.

The room I'm now teaching in used to be where my history class was, and I made my first skateboard out of roller skate wheels and a slab of wood down the hall in shop class.

The sharp fall in confidence does provide a warning signal that there are ongoing concerns with Australian consumers,

The students have all the toys that thieves want. The student areas are more at risk.

The thing that hurt us the most was they got off to such a quick start. We're having a hard time scoring the basketball, and I think our patience hurts us. We didn't throw the ball in the post enough.

Sometimes it can happen that you see everything in terms of music. It's like a fixation. You can't help it. I get that way every time I'm trying to work something out. But it's bad if you can't pull out of it. Nothing should be that dominating. If it is, it is perverted.

After a particularly volatile year in 2005 for consumer sentiment, we may be entering steadier times in 2006. However, given households' high levels of debt and sensitivity to interest rates, this calm would be dramatically disturbed if interest rate concerns returned.

Actually, I'm not interested in Zen that much, as a philosophy, nor in joining any movements. I don't pretend to understand it. I just find it comforting. And very similar to jazz. Like jazz, you can't explain it to anyone without losing the experience. It's got to be experienced, because it's feeling, not words.

Do you remember the Platonic dialog in which Socrates argues the definition of wisdom with Hippocrates? As far as I'm concerned, Hippocrates was the first hippy, a guy who was smug because he thought he knew something. Socrates was wise because he realized how little he knew.

Coach (Todd) Butler played a lot of sophomores two years ago and a lot of juniors last year. Now they are seniors and it's paying dividends.

Despite low unemployment, wage growth remains contained. With job gains slowing, the risks from wage inflation appear to be receding. Interest rates will remain on hold in 2006.

A recovery of growth to around trend in the first half of 2006 will not threaten interest rates in either direction.

Australia's two-speed economy remains intact with consumer spending subdued and housing in a downswing. By contrast, business investment is surging.

There's been a lot of fight back from the students on this one. But we don't chase the kegs If we see five kegs go to one house though, we're going to watch it.

The more towers, the more dead birds. All of a sudden, there are a lot more towers being constructed, and we realized there has been very little research on their effects on birds.

It's just the normal range of ups and downs.

It was sloppy and we held onto it a little better than they did. There was some hard hitting on both sides, and that ball is going to come loose. We were in the right place at the right time.

It's a big step. We're not looking to creep into the playoffs. We'd like to go in with more than five wins. We have that opportunity with three of our four games at home.

It's like having a designer dress compared with one from Woolworth's. Which one is more impressive when you go to the debutante ball?

Economists are interested in why 70 percent makes it. It's surprising to us that so much makes it.

The biggest story for us is our continued growth at 5 o'clock.

I want to see us rebound the ball better and execute better on the offensive and defensive ends. We have to execute to be successful. We can't go out and have a bad day and win.

I want to play as good as I can, not necessarily as different. I am not interested in consciously changing the essence of my music. I would rather have it reveal itself progressively as I play. Ultimately, what counts is its essential quality, anyway, and differences vanish in a short time.

Anytime you play schools from higher leagues, they're preparing us for our league. We've played some really good teams. I would like to play those teams at home sometimes for my own feelings that if we could do that, we could be competitive with them. Playing at home and not having to travel is a plus.

I'm just glad to be home next week. I'm not going to guarantee a win because that would be silly, but it will just be nice to have all those things that home brings.

I think my guys did a good job defending. We shot the ball, we shared the ball (and)I don't think we were selfish.

Be careful what you wish for. I think they're a very good team. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they won the whole thing. I think there are some really good teams standing in their way, and I hope we're one of them.

He's like a blur. He controls the tempo of the game and makes plays for his teammates.

The key factor that probably constrained confidence was the 4 per cent jump in petrol prices in the last week before the survey.

Their non-conference schedule (was) equal to ours. The majority of people at our level, you can throw out the first 10 or 12 games. It's a little unrealistic.

The index is now giving us considerable comfort that economic growth by late 2005 and into 2006 can pick up to long-term trend or even a little better.

The lesson of The Odd Couple is that there are still genuine Broadway stars. And it was an opportunity for those who might have missed (Lane and Broderick) in The Producers , which has also been great for Broadway.
