Yes, the world is now flat for publishing as well.
So whenever Marnus Labuschagne steps out, he hits the ball over cow corner for an offspinner, or he hits it over mid-off. It’s very rare through long-on. And he doesn’t have a flat sweep, he has a lap sweep, like a paddle.
I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends’ parents were punks or hippies.
The Hudson River lay flat and black like a lost evening glove. The clouds parted overhead as the distant moon threw a single, bright beam over lower Manhattan as though it were looking for its other half.
I was very dreamy. Insular. I’m always amazed I survived adolescence at all and wasn’t squashed flat by a juggernaut. Gaping, I think was my main skill. Staring out of the window.
When I sold my flat in Glasgow, I bought a little cottage on the North Yorkshire coast. Whenever we go up from London to stay there, I’m just like, ‘I’m home! I’m home in Bronte-land!’

The Royal Ballet was good to me. They gave me everything I asked for. It’s just… I felt tricked. I became a principal and I couldn’t even afford to pay for dinner. I couldn’t afford a flat.
The world is not flat, and PCs are not, in the hierarchy of human needs, in the first five rungs.
Most architects think in drawings, or did think in drawings; today, they think on the computer monitor. I always tried to think three dimensionally. The interior eye of the brain should be not flat but three dimensional so that everything is an object in space. We are not living in a two-dimensional world.
If there’s flat tires or bad food or rough lodging or zany people that we meet, we throw them up all on screen so that the viewer doesn’t feel like they’re watching a kind of sanitized, produced effort.
Write for yourself, not for a perceived audience. If you do, you’ll mostly fall flat on your face, because it’s impossible to judge what people want. And you have to read. That’s how you learn what is good writing and what is bad. Then the main thing is application. It’s hard work.
This flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches, it never did, it never will. I’m a daredevil!

I remember an old Singer sewing machine at home that belonged to my grandmother. It had a pedal. My mom taught me how to use it when I was 12 years old. I used to find it so intriguing, how a flat piece of material could be made into an object that had so many uses.

As soon as I am out of my work clothes, I am in flat shoes, stretchy leggings, and a cashmere jumper; it’s all low maintenance.

Landscape is more than flat land covered by floodwater, the seeping of peat bogs, a river of liquid pewter viewed from a sentry tower. It’s an influence on what a person values, what she is willing to sacrifice or argue for.
By ‘flat’ I did not mean that the world is getting equal. I said that more people in more places can now compete, connect and collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before.

Schumann’s ‘Quintet in E flat for Piano and Strings’ is one of the sublime moments in Romantic music.
As someone who comes from a family of lifers (along with my wife), I just want to say, flat out… Marriage is a really good deal.
