My favorite team was always the Chicago Bears and my favorite NFL player was, without question, Walter Payton. His competitiveness and desire were unmatched.
I’m not sure I like the idea of polar bears under a palm tree.
Historically, grizzlies ranged from Alaska to Mexico, with at least 50,000 bears living in the western half of the contiguous United States. With European colonization, the bears were shot, poisoned, and trapped to the brink of extinction.
When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn’t want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I’m used to.
Outside Westminster, political debate must seem like white noise that bears little relevance to people’s everyday lives. But political choices made by the governments we elect have a real impact on how we live.
For too long, opponents of the PATRIOT Act have transformed this law into a grossly distorted caricature that bears no relation to the legislation itself.
The thing about talking about human rights is that when one bears in mind the sharp end of it, one does not want to worry too much about semantics.
When it comes to love, the English language bears no shortage of cliches.
The trick is after a workout you’re supposed to have gummy bears or some candy to get your veins to stick out. Of course, it’s all about protein, too, but right before you’re filming a shirtless scene, you have a little bit of sugar to pop the veins.
At a time when every series we’re supposed to be DVR-ing is very important, very serious, has to do with heavy, heavy matters, I think ‘Wet Hot’ provides a respite to that DVR homework. It’s totally the gummy bears of your programming.
Music bears a great responsibility because it is so influential. Everybody listens to music. It is a very influential tool. To me, it is very important to the world… music is… to being… to life.
The painter… does not fit the paints to the world. He most certainly does not fit the world to himself. He fits himself to the paint. The self is the servant who bears the paintbox and its inherited contents.
All right-wing antigovernment rage in America bears a racial component, because liberalism is understood, consciously or unconsciously, as the ideology that steals from hard-working, taxpaying whites and gives the spoils to indolent, grasping blacks.
There is only one entity which I built, which is HCL. And the legacy which I want to leave behind that is in my name. There is only one thing which bears my name in the doorsteps – that is only the University and the foundation. And that legacy will not have a price tag.
By the fruits which it bears is the tree known.
I’ve diced with death the most cycling around London. Black cabs are far more dangerous than polar bears.
In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.
Genius is essentially creative; it bears the stamp of the individual who possesses it.
I’m from Chicago, and I loved the Bears.
‘The Beautiful Things that Heaven Bears’ is very much about America – it just happens to have African and Ethiopian characters, and in fact, it happens to have more characters who are not Ethiopian than who are.
Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.
To this day, while maintaining a healthy respect for the Giants and Jets and other teams I cover, I admit to checking the results every Monday to see how the Bears did.
Being given the honorary rank of brat is the armed services’ way of saying thank you to us kids for having grit too. They understand that when one member of a family joins the military, the whole family bears the weight of their service.
My favorite movie out of the old movies was ‘Escape to Witch Mountain.’ We were working with horses and bears, and when you have a great friend like Ike and a great director… it was a great experience.
We were working under very harsh conditions on ‘Zero Kelvin.’ We were up there in the Arctic, closer to the North Pole than to a hospital. Sometimes you had to sleep in small Arctic tents with guns to protect yourself from polar bears and stuff.
I set forth a humble and inglorious life; that does not matter. You can tie up all moral philosophy with a common and private life just as well as with a life of richer stuff. Each man bears the entire form of man’s estate.
Jayalalithaa was brutalised from the age of 16 in the cinema world. She therefore bears a psychotic pleasure in humiliating people as she was humiliated. She was deadened to normal human emotions.
In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
I think that its easy to think of the environment as all doom and gloom and that, ‘What can we do, it’s too late. And the polar bears are gone, and everything is gone.’ But really, just the little steps that we can make as individuals make a big difference.
My mom’s whole side of the family, they’re all Packers fans. My mom’s a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly. My mom sits upstairs watching the Bears game; he sits in the basement. They can’t watch it together. Football’s a violent anger in our family dynamic.
I love all of my children equally, all of my printed books, and each one bears a special piece of me. But the one I’m most proud of is the one no one will ever see – the very first manuscript I ever wrote, back in 1990. It took me a year to do it.
It’s one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it’s a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears.
There are no hard feelings between me and the Bears’ organization. I had a great run here.
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Good art however ‘immoral’ is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can NOT be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.
AIADMK bears Annadurai in its name and his image on its flag. We will extend full cooperation in upholding the principles of democracy following the footsteps of Annadurai and MGR.
Why do otherwise sane, competent, strong men, men who can wrestle bears or raid corporations, shrink away in horror at the thought of washing a dish or changing a diaper?
My public persona is badly warped and bears little resemblance to the person those closest to me know.
The applause of his native land is the richest reward to which the patriot ever aspires. It is this for which ‘he bears to live or dares to die.’ It is the high incentive to those achievements which illustrate the page of history and give to poetry its brightest charm.
In 1916, Universal Studios released the first filmed adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.’ Georges Melies made a film by that name in 1907, but, unlike his earlier adaptations of Verne, Melies’ version bears no resemblance to the book.
There have been nine Super Bowls in New Orleans, and not all of them have brought the best of luck to NFL Films. We got robbed twice there, got food poisoning, and my hotel room was broken into on the day the Bears played the Patriots in January 1986.
The ’84 Bears were just like the ’85 Bears, they just didn’t win the Super Bowl. The defense was the same.
Every type of purely direct concrete description bears the mark of artistic portrayal.
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
People think of black English as ungrammatical, but it bears the same relationship to standard English as contemporary Hebrew does to ancient Hebrew.
There is no sense in meddling with the extinction of polar bears, not when so many more pressing human problems await. Until there’s ironclad proof of how and why extinction works, and how much evil we’ve done to hasten it along, I’m going to save my emotional anguish for dying and suffering members of my own species.
In most riots in India, Congress has had a direct or indirect involvement. History bears this out.
In sport, the money goes to the talent; it goes directly to the worker – unlike a bank, which sits in the middle of transactions and whose income bears no relation to any of the services it provides.
If you go into the wild, you don’t try to tickle the grizzly bears.
I like the Bulls, the Bears – Chicago.
Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things – with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope.
That Bears quarterback is no good. He’s washed up. He’s 30.
Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.
No one believes this, but when I’m working, it’s the same, whether I’m working on ‘Bad News Bears,’ ‘Before Sunset,’ ‘A Scanner Darkly,’ or ‘Fast Food Nation.’ I’m the same person, trying to make it work.
