If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.
I don’t look backwards. I’m pleasantly surprised, and I feel really proud of the team and what we were able to accomplish together. But really, where I’m focused is the future and where Nest is going.
In group lesson number six I think we learned how to turn backwards and then just kind of wiggle. That wasn’t really skating backward, but I guess I was going in the right direction.

I’ve always been very forward-looking, and it was actually kind of difficult to turn my gaze backwards to look at comics history.
So we can’t go backwards, we can only go where the evolutionary trajectory is taking us and attune our ideas about ourselves and our existence to that course.
I never start a song at the beginning; I always start in the middle, working with the original concept. That might be a loop or a vocal hook. A weird noise or a string sample. Once that’s at the heart of the song, I work concertina-fashion, expanding the song forwards to the end and backwards to the beginning.
I always wear my hat backwards. That way, people can see my face.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
What I do know is our state and country is currently backwards and upside-down, and we all are to blame in one fashion or another.
Me? I’m going to grow backwards and be a kid again.
IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.
I worry whether it’s not really the best way to live one’s life – trying to fulfill the dreams you had as a child. Maybe it’s quite a backwards approach.
Reactionary: a man walking backwards with his face to the future.
Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.
Let me do it. You tell me when you want it and where you want it to land, and I’ll do it backwards and tell you when to take off.
Leaders don’t look backwards to condemn what has already been done; they look forward to create a better future.
I think, in some ways, that is the balm of stories, of fables, of tales: it’s the way we’re wired. We have always needed to distill what we’re going through and try to understand it by looking either backwards or forwards. And the hardest is to look in the now.
It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don’t see things backwards.
I’m not going backwards in this sport ever, especially in pay. Why would I?
I can’t shoot straight-up. I’ve always played crooked. One of my coaches says I play backwards. I do everything backwards. I don’t have coordination. It’s weird to watch me play.
Certain people are like ‘Oh, here come the Feminazis!’ You end up acting 10 times nicer than you even need to be, to be the opposite of the stereotype like ‘You’re the man haters!’ We’re always bending over backwards being extra nice. And I don’t know if being nice is my legacy.
When you read, I’m sure you don’t realize that your eyes are going backwards and forwards and to this place and that place. Mine don’t do that.

A maverick feels like he has no choice however difficult his choice of expression. In my case, it was going backwards into tonality. It seemed so wrong. The idea that progress is going into the past in a new way is very strange, even though there are precedents.
I left for Fiji 36 hours after we wrapped ‘Lucha Underground’ season 4. The producers of ‘Lucha Underground’ had to bend over backwards to get me wrapped out of the season to leave for ‘Survivor.’
One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, ‘Well, really, what were they thinking?’
