The drums are about gravity. Your hand naturally falls down on the drums as you hit them.
There is something that falls short of perfection in every book, without exception, something influenced by the age, even something ridiculous; just like everyone, without exception, has weaknesses.
Self-evaluation is hard, and it starts with me, and it falls on my shoulders, and I’m responsible. But at the end of the day, you are what you are.
The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes.
You never get the role you have worked so hard for, but the dream role, the one who gives you joy, money and maybe even honor, that one just falls into your lap.
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you’re working with an actor who’s just unbearable.
Words are the essence of culture. Books are pure essence. They are not for women or for men, but for all of us. Without books, civilisation falls into the dark ages.
The responsibility for keeping our commitments to veterans falls on the federal government.
The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan’s prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.
I guess if I had to put it into a single phrase, the moral of the Frank stories is that the hammer never really falls.
A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky, unbidden, and seems like a thing of wonder.
We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things.
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
A boring speech can be just a boring speech. But a speech with a joke that falls flat is awful. I hate it. That’s why I think it’s easier to hate a comedy. If a drama doesn’t land, it’s boring; if a joke doesn’t land – you hate that.
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Street artists need to get back to actually doing things on the streets instead of in the galleries where they all seem to be ending up. I hope this term ‘street artist’ falls from the face of the earth, in my honest opinion.
If a ballet dancer falls over, it’s knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Shakespeare is the outstanding example of how that can be done. In all of Shakespeare’s plays, no matter what tragic events occur, no matter what rises and falls, we return to stability in the end.
Everything falls on the quarterback.
Some of Jimmy Stewart’s performance in ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ is some of the most disturbing performance he ever did, when he falls apart and when he breaks down.
Aging is basically the build-up of error: error at the genetic level, error at the cellular level. Cells normally repair themselves; that’s why you heal when you get a cut. But even the mechanism of repair eventually falls apart.
I loved getting to Chagrin Falls, being by the falls; what a cute place it is.
Only the long melancholy call to prayer, or the wail of women over the dead, or the barking of dogs, breaks the silence which at sunset falls as a pall over Baghdad.
I used to tell people when I was 15 or 16 that I’d never be that girl who goes through this, gets her heart broken, falls for this guy, but I ended up being her.
I wrote six pilots, none of which ever got picked up. When you stop trying, it then it falls in your lap.
I’d learned some things. I knew you weren’t supposed to hold a good wine at the top – the paper bag falls off.
When you’re writing, it’s so absorbing. It’s like a drop cloth goes over you, and the world outside falls away, but you do have a miniature version of the world, your own world, that you actually have some control over. I love to work.
Each story presents a mystery that has to be solved in the process of writing. When I’m at work on a story, I’m completely immersed in that world and in the lives of those characters; they’re utterly real to me. Then, when I’ve completed the story, it all just falls away. The whole compulsion to understand is over.
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
There is no hard and fast rule that I only work with debutants. I give prime importance to script, and when that works out, everything else falls in place automatically. In fact, most debutants express interest to work with me.
We never know who we are going to be until we are tested, but perhaps we can test ourselves without going to the extremes of war. Perhaps we can be kinder now, live with less now, reach out to others now – and build an inner reserve of a strong identity that will hold us up even when everything else falls away.
But then we got to Victoria Falls at the end: at dawn it’s one of the most beautiful sights you will every see. We stayed at The Victoria Falls Hotel, a luxury hotel that looks out over the falls.
Lack of lawful access certainly affects our ability to do our jobs, but we know where the harm really falls when evidence is kept unavailable – it falls on innocent people, the people we’re sworn to protect.
When we talk about safety and security of the American people, politics falls aside pretty quickly.
I constantly work at maintaining balance. For me, my family comes first. If my family is taken care of, then everything else usually falls into place.
I paint on the ground. I paint with sticks, with big paint cans, and whatever else falls in it. Basically, what I’m doing is capturing unbridled emotion and putting it on canvas. It’s like capturing lightning in a bottle.
I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I’m really working on him about that.
I think we can all agree that Colin Firth falls into the George Clooney category of ‘Men Who Age Like Fine Wine.’
I don’t like skinny jeans though I can manage with slim fits. I don’t like wearing a tie with a suit and it falls wrong sometimes.
One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again.
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don’t go broke.
In Western Pennsylvania, our parents and grandparents left us a strong system of roads, rails, bridges, locks, dams, streetcars, and more – an investment that paid off throughout the twentieth century. It now falls to our generation to rebuild and improve upon this system for the twenty-first century.
Zika is an addressable threat. While it falls outside of the regular routine of public health preparedness, we shouldn’t be scrambling for new resources each time a threat like Zika starts to emerge.
I’m not gonna be someone I’m not, because I don’t want them to draft someone who’s not me, and then I have to try and fill that role. I’m gonna be me, and hopefully a team falls in love with me.
There’s a lot of steps between there not being music and there being music. Composition is one part of that, but if no one performs it… It’s like if a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Housing is absolutely essential to human flourishing. Without stable shelter, it all falls apart.
The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God. This service falls peculiarly to priests, and therefore, God more directly demands it of them.
My granddad doesn’t care if he falls down when he’s singing, he’s just having a laugh.
There have been many people whom I have admired, emulated and even modeled parts of my life after. I study how they do things, and then I go through a period of ‘trying on’ those same thinking patterns and behaviors. After awhile, what is not essentially me falls away while the useful parts remain.
If you know me, I don’t hold back. I take what I can get, and whatever falls.
Gravity Falls’ didn’t just appear overnight – every spooky cave and moss covered tree was created by a team of brilliant artists.
What I’ve discovered is that in art, as in music, there’s a lot of truth-and then there’s a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth, but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for, my moment. It’s the moment that the audience falls in love.
When you think about how everything else works in the digital age and the way that money does, money really falls short.
When autumn darkness falls, what we will remember are the small acts of kindness: a cake, a hug, an invitation to talk, and every single rose. These are all expressions of a nation coming together and caring about its people.
