I still vividly remember the moment I let go of an embrace with my daughter on her college campus – that, in her opinion, probably lasted far too long. I left the most precious thing in my life in the care of an institution, and that’s a very hard thing to do.
I always liked the guys who lasted a long time in the match and had endurance. People like Ric Flair going an hour at the 1992 Rumble, or Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog being one and two in 1995 and both lasting until the end.
Conservatives are wary of change. We have respect for things that have lasted a long time and have been proved to work. When things need changing, we should make the changes with respect to all the reasons why those things worked originally as well as the reasons why amendment is necessary.
‘Hogan’s Heroes’ lasted longer than the war.

For a long period in my life – it lasted about 10 years – I had writer’s block.

You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but it struck a cord with people and it has lasted so I’m very proud of being a part of that.
First of all, anybody who has lasted 30 and went through the 60’s is really a survivor.
When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are. I was born and raised in a segregated society, but when I left there, I had nobody I disliked other than the people that’d mistreated me, and that only lasted for as long as they were mistreating me.
I left Mainz after 18 years and thought, ‘Next time, I will work with a little less of my heart.’ I said that because we all cried for a week. The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.

Every field piece I did on ‘The Daily Show’ was a story that lasted five to six minutes. We had a protagonist, we had an antagonist and often put them at odds. We knew the story we wanted to tell before we went in, and often it was about plugging whatever character you have – in this case, a real person – into said part.
I respect Hulk Hogan because his career lasted some 30 odd years. I think I lasted about 15, but during my peak years, I took the business to a height it never seen before.
By the time I got to the hospital, I certainly realised that I had a problem because I couldn’t write or print at that time, which lasted luckily only about four months. I’d gone numb here and on my tongue and the right foot a little bit.
I felt ‘Gone with the Wind’ would last five years, and it’s lasted over 70 and into a new millennium. There is a special place in my heart for that film and Melanie. She was a remarkable character – a loving person – and because of that, she was a happy person. And Scarlett, of course, was not.
I got a job as an assistant film editor, which lasted for a few years, but I found writing incredibly difficult, and I thought, ‘How am I going to make a film if I can’t write?’ I didn’t really comprehend that someone else would do that bit.
I lasted seven years as a journalist, and I’ve been doing comedy for twenty years.

I loved doing ‘Countdown.’ I now consider that I was very, very lucky – not just because it was such a wonderful show to do, but because it lasted for so long.
I was quite… feminine. Not in my actions, in my ways. If one of my uncles had trouble at school, they’d go to that person and thump him. It’s all a man thing. They got sent off to boxing when they were kids. You live in a tough area, you get off to boxing. My auntie tried to do that to me. I lasted six minutes in boxing.
That I’ve lasted is one of my greatest accomplishments. Maybe my greatest.
I don’t think there’s ever been anyone like me that’s lasted. And I’m going to keep on lasting.
Everybody thinks that this civilization has lasted a very long time but it really does take very few grandfathers’ granddaughters to take us back to the dark ages.

It was my Old Trafford debut and it lasted about 60 minutes and my left leg and left ankle sort of gave way on me from a tackle from behind.
Brand New Wayo: Funk, Fast Times and Nigerian Boogie Badness 1979-1983′ covers a short chunk of time in Nigeria’s musical culture – one that might have lasted longer had the label spearheading the movement at the time, Phonodisk, not been so financially mismanaged.
I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.

I had a good career. I lasted 22 years.
One thing the futurists never get right, though, is that the extreme desire for polyester only lasted a brief period in the ’70s!

Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.

I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.
We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.
I met Bill Clinton in 1977 while I was working as a news reporter for KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after we met, we began a sexual relationship that lasted for twelve years.
The American Dream may be slipping away. We have overcome such challenges before. To recover the Dream requires knowing where it came from, how it lasted so long and why it matters so much.
Most people have come to know the time that John Lennon and I spent together as The Lost Weekend. I am always surprised by how many people are under the impression that our time together lasted only a single weekend.
I started out as an opportunistic renegade. By now, I’ve lasted long enough to become sort of an American Original Respectable Renegade.
It was fun while it lasted, but it never seemed real to me. I could not believe I was in Van Halen.
The reason it has lasted for 30 years is for one reason and one reason only: Classic Rock radio.
If you look at the first generation of wireless, it really lasted about 15 years before we went to the second generation. When we implemented the fourth generation, which allowed us to do all the smartphones and the videos, the time between that and going to the fifth generation is going to be four years.
When I was 10 years old, I threw a bottle with a note in it in the ocean in Massachusetts, and Harrison Salisbury found it and contacted me. We began a correspondence that lasted for years, and I eventually met him when I was 18.
Many people who did not die right away came down with nausea, headache, diarrhea, malaise, and fever, which lasted several days. Doctors could not be certain whether some of these symptoms were the result of radiation or nervous shock.
