I will say this: when you take any substance, especially in baseball, it’s half mental and half physical. If you take this glass of water and you say, ‘I’m going to be a better baseball player,’ then you probably will be.
Innovation usually arises from somebody taking a product already in production and making it better: better glass, better aluminum, a better chip. Innovation always starts with a product.
Students of American glass must always keep in mind that the creations they collect are truly examples of our American culture… and thus have historical significance.
Just because we say networks are important doesn’t mean that networks explain everything. We’re just adding additional information. Networks don’t work like a match – they work like a magnifying glass.
I’m as strong and supple as a pane of thin glass. I’ve got too many ailments – left shoulder, left elbow and left wrist – in fact, the whole of the left arm.
I’m fearless when it comes to engineering and motors and gears and pulleys and glass and artwork.
I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words ‘ice queen’ attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There’s this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
On Gates Avenue, there’s an amazing Italian restaurant: Locanda Vini e Olii. It’s in an old pharmacy – the front of it still has the pharmacy’s name on it – and they have all these little tchotchkes and knickknacks and things behind glass. Whenever my parents come to Brooklyn, I take them there.
I stumbled upon the 3×1 shop because it’s a few doors up from the ‘V’ magazine offices on Mercer. The store is intense: They can take your measurements, and the sewers are right there behind glass making what amounts to a couture pair of jeans.
‘Glass Sword’ has several set piece scenes that I plotted out or visualized before I wrote them, but I always knew they were coming. They anchor bits of the story.
I use a Kiehl’s spray when I fly. Your skin gets so dry on a plane. And I always have to have a little glass of wine. I’m French! I have to. It’s part of my life.
We don’t take on Google Glass or the self-driving car project or Project Loon unless we think that on a risk-adjusted basis, it’s worth Google’s money to do it.

Dude, I turn into a six-year-old when I come to Disneyland. It’s amazing. My eyes glass over and my blood pressure goes down. I’m just like everybody else. I turn into a big kid when I come here. It’s the happiest place on earth, right?
My kitchen in New York City is in the Richard Meier building on Perry Street, so it’s ultra-modern: white, glass and transparent. It’s 180 square feet, with an induction stove. Everything’s hidden, so you don’t see the microwave or the fridge.
I love using my Coravin Model Six at home to just give a glass of wine to my friends and family without having to commit to the whole bottle. It’s perfect when everyone wants something different. I also love being able to try a glass of a bottle I’ve always been wanting to see if it’s ready to drink.
In its primary aspect, a painting has no more spiritual message than an exquisite fragment of Venetian glass. The channels by which all noble and imaginative work in painting should touch the soul are not those of the truths of lives.
I have a carbohydrate and protein-rich diet. For breakfast, I typically have two slices of bread with butter or jam, four to five eggs – boiled or fried – a few bananas and a glass of milk.
The model I came up with in 1964 is just the invention of a rather strange sort of medium that looks the same in all directions and produces a kind of refraction that is a little bit more complicated than that of light in glass or water.
I’ve only seen one snake out in the wilderness, not behind glass, and I froze. I literally couldn’t move. So to say I have a fear of snakes would be true.
I always see the glass half full. I see the beauty in others, and I see the hope for tomorrow. If we don’t have hope and faith, we have nothing.
I like to go hiking. I like to go rappelling, swimming, biking. I go boogie-boarding. I collect Hot Wheels. I collect glass. I collect coins. And I collect cards.
I’m not very much of a foodie; I like small amounts of delicious things, but I’ve never overeaten – I’d much rather have a glass of wine.
Often we women are risk averse. I needed the push. Now, more than ever, young women need more seasoned women to provide that encouragement, to take a risk, to go for it. Once a glass ceiling is broken, it stays broken.
If you have only a glass of water, then one person can drink. If you have a bucket, a whole family can benefit.
If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.
If you wish to avoid seeing a fool you must first break your looking glass.
I think that devices like Glass are going to do a terrific job of capturing your first-person perspective. And that’s what people first think of when they think of GoPro.
It does seem really hard to get consumers to do the right thing. It is stupid that we use two tons of steel, glass, and plastic to haul our sorry selves to the shopping mall. It’s stupid that we put water in plastic bottles in Fiji and ship it here.
Gravity pulls our bodily fluids down, like water in a glass goes to the bottom part of a glass. In space, the water doesn’t stay in the bottom of the glass. It distributes itself evenly over time throughout the entire volume of the glass.
The contention is if you don’t do it in the first quarter, if you don’t box out and control the glass in the first quarter, you are not going to do it in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own.
When I’m with the wife, and we’re having a romantic night, I occasionally think about a glass of red wine, but I’ll order a sparkling water. I’d like the wine, but it wouldn’t end with one glass, so I don’t even go there.
One of the ways a landfill engineer anywhere in the world earns bragging rights is if he can pour himself a glass of the leachate from his landfill and drink it.
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.

I didn’t really know what I was looking at when I first came across Man Ray’s ‘Dust Breeding,’ his photograph of a work by Marcel Duchamp called ‘Large Glass.’ It looked like an aerial photograph or a view through a microscope.
He who lives by the crystal ball will eat shattered glass.
New synthetic substances – steel, concrete, glass – are actively superseding the traditional raw materials of construction.
I remember, as a kid, thinking more about, you know, watching the world go by and being amazed by how both complex but consistent and elegant it was. You know, why, you know, when you put that cold glass of water on the table, it kind of warms up at a very predictable way.
I had always been interested in race and racial justice, but mostly it was with my nose pressed up against the glass, looking at the South from a long way away.
The bird, the bee, the running child are all the same to the sliding glass door.
I’m trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It’s really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we’ll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop.
When I was a teenager, I was a voracious reader of crime fiction, but only contemporary books. I was not interested in reading ‘The Glass Key’ or ‘The Maltese Falcon’ – stuff that was 40 or 50 years old.
Windows will grow smaller again and houses will contain much less glass – not only because of the high energy costs of glass but because it’s thermally inefficient.
It is no use to blame the looking glass if your face is awry.
Don’t throw stones at your neighbors if your own windows are glass.
And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
You can’t reinvent the wheel. I remember when we first started out at ‘Late Night,’ we were trying to hire directors, and this guy was like, ‘I see you behind a glass desk.’ I don’t. And he’s like, ‘Yeah, the glass desk.’ I go, ‘I don’t really see me as a glass desk guy.’
