I have fond memories from growing up in Switzerland and drinking a glass of warm milk with a spoonful of honey before bed.
One glass of water doesn’t equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.
I don’t see the future as bright, language-wise. I see it as a glass half empty – and evaporating quickly.
In the middle of the 20th century, aspirations to sound ‘proper’ were passionately pursued. Dictionaries as late as the Seventies include many pronunciations that could cut the proverbial glass.
It took me months and months to get back to normalcy – to have a glass of wine at dinner, to go out to a movie with my wife. Just those normal things that you take for granted I wasn’t able to do for a long time.
My writing partner, Nicki, and I became obsessed with a monologist who performs unscripted shows equipped with nothing more than scribbled bullet points and a glass of water. We wrote him a fan letter and found ourselves sharing lunch and eventually a friendship.
Even when I’m sitting up in this glass castle, I still got my street soldiers telling me what’s happening.
You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad ’90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones.
I always think of the ‘Schizophrenia’ album as being like the cover of the Scorpions’ ‘Blackout.’ It’s got this guy breaking out of the glass, but he’s got a straightjacket on. I think it’s a bit of ‘Blackout’ mixed with a little bit of ‘A Clockwork Orange.’
Just play hard, compete, energy, hit the offensive glass.
The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling.
Thirty years ago, we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews.
I drink a glass of water and half a lemon as soon as I wake up. I heard that it’s supposed to balance your body’s pH. Not sure if that’s true, but to be honest, it really helps with bloating.
On the manufacturing side, surfing was a lot harder than sailing. You had to find guys who could shape, who could glass, and you’re looking for good people among all these surfers, you know. Keeping the quality up was always a problem.
The glass is always half full for me.
I like writing books. I’d rather be at home with my wife. I can write, take a break, come out, have a glass of tea, give my wife a kiss, and go back in and write some more. It’s not so bad. I am really lucky.
I’m a big fan of a great glass of red wine and a delicious bowl of pasta made from scratch.
And they were writing scripts where Christine had hit the glass ceiling. And I always thought Christine would never hit the glass ceiling. I thought her dreams would take her. Maybe her dreams wouldn’t take her where she wanted, but she still had her dreams.
My dream date would be a hike through the woods followed by an outdoor picnic followed by a glass of wine at sunset. Heaven!
I have never stored water in plastic bottles, always in glass, steel or copper bottles and containers. I even carry my own water to work, and refill bottles for drinking.
I love memoirs and biographies, learning about other people’s lives. Two of the ones that I loved so much were actually edited by the same person who edited my book, too. I loved ‘Angela’s Ashes.’ I loved ‘Glass Castle’ so much.
I came from Bill Blass, where it was a well-oiled machine and if I said I needed a fabric, it was done. Now, I have to budget everything. I have to take on the role not just as a designer but a business. But I’m a glass half-full kind of guy.
This big part flies off on the floor. The other part goes like this and lands in my foot! Standing up! It’s standing in my foot! Right in the side of my foot. The flute glass. I think I’m like in one of my own pictures.
When you do what I do, there are a lot of institutions that give you awards. I’ve gotten maybe 20 medals. They’re glorious, and there’s a spirit behind them. But sometimes they give you this dreadful modern glass thing. I wish everyone could afford a loving cup.
If the building is on fire and the person decides to stay in there, I don’t run in there and get him out. If you see them breaking the glass, if you see them struggling and trying to get out – that’s my analogy of how I help out the guys in the league and the kids that really, really need help.
Visual presentation of our heritage in glass is needed.
It had rained on some vivid green ferns in Maine and it was quite beautiful. I was moving the camera slightly and studying the ground glass. Looking at those 20 square inches, trying to find out just what were the right elements to include.
We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.
I am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.
I’m always a guy that looks at every situation as glass half full.
At its best, a live show is completely transcendent. The image I get is breaking through glass or shooting out into the free zone.
Every time a confident, successful woman like Marissa Meyer distances herself from feminism, I think of Athena. Athena women, with all their brilliance and strategy, are the ones smashing up through layers of glass. They tend to identify with men, keeping femininity at a distance.
Every glass thermometer has subtle variations in the size and shape of the bulb at the bottom and the capillary tube inside, as well as variations in the width of gradations on the side. The compounded effect of these uncertainties is that each thermometer reads temperature slightly differently.
If you grow up in show business, you look beyond the looking glass. So, all of the surface facades get broken.
Meditation is the soul’s perspective glass.
I don’t mind cheese with a nice glass of port, but I prefer chocolate.
Oh Cup-bearer, set my glass afire with the light of wine!
A ship’s engine far away on the water expands the summer-night horizon. Both joy and sorrow swell in the dew’s magnifying glass. Without really knowing, we divine; our life has a sister ship, following quietly another route. While the sun blazes behind the islands.
My maternal grandmother, Annie Sparks, lived with our family during the while I was growing up. When I came home from school, after having made a detour to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk and fix a thick peanut butter sandwich on easy-to-tear white bread, I would go up to her sitting room.
My own journey as a writer has been the discovery of different theatrical voices. Chekhov was a revelation. Tennessee Williams was another one. We read ‘The Glass Menagerie’ in high school, and I still remember the cover.
I like to look at the glass half full.
Do I really want to do a mobile game that’s one of 300,000, where discoverability is everything? You really have to have a little more sizzle on the steak. I would rather be one of 100 apps for Google Glass than one of 300,000 for iOS and Android.
It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.
‘Alice’ is effectively a story about a game of cards. ‘Through the Looking Glass’ is a story of chess.
I do light exercise which includes yoga, suryanamaskar and weight training followed by breakfast which includes some fruits or boiled vegetables with a glass of either pineapple or pomegranate juice.
If you’re going to be hosting any event or a performance or having dinner with people after a performance, it is work, but it’s also social: food and a glass of wine would be involved often.
Fibers made on Earth, and thus made in the presence of gravity, have impurities and defects in the glass that adversely affect transmission speed and quality.
I like my glass of wine, but I work for it. You can’t expect to maintain that sort of level of physique if you don’t do something.
As the only woman, I was able to sit with the officers in front, with a glass of vodka in one hand and a cucumber in the other. That’s how I went to my first war.
The glass is always half full: I have no time for anything negative – and actually, I’ve bought crystals for all my team, so they all carry crystals as well.
Carbon is the stuff of life, and it’s the stuff of everything used by human society. All of our materials are made of carbon or of substances, such as steel or glass, which are produced through the utilization of carbon.
Marriage is like wine. It is not be properly judged until the second glass.
I love being able to tell a story visually. It’s something I love about making commercials, where you put a magnifying glass over the mundane and make it feel extraordinary.
Just as I was turning fifteen, in the spring of 1946, my parents took me to see ‘The Glass Menagerie,’ well into its year-long run. I had seen a number of shows on Broadway by then, but nothing like this – because there was nothing like this on Broadway.
I feel strongly about the need for diversity, and with good reason. I’m from a generation of women that found it exhilarating to shatter the glass ceiling. We viewed obstacles as opportunities and earned our seat at the leadership table.
Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, I’m finding enjoyment in things that stop time. Just the simple act of tasting a glass of wine is its own event. You’re not downing a glass of wine in the midst of doing something else.
