One has to work on the Polish economy, so that we start getting closer to real prosperity and not prosperity on paper.

I love Villarreal. They are closer to my heart than any other club in Spain.
If ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, then children are somewhat closer to our roots as primates in the arboreal forest. Humans appear to be the only primates that I know of that are afraid of heights. All other primates, when they’re scared, they run up a tree, where they feel safe.
Our family was always together. Whenever Kakaji needed something or wanted to discuss some issue, he would always bring it up with us. Certain things happened that brought us closer.
There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do.

To burn a CDR of music you like to give as a gift to someone you wish to become closer to is a cold, moist-palmed, mouth-breathing bummer.
I enjoy things that are so far away from me; that’s why, when I play things that are a little bit closer to me, I get really bored. When it’s something that’s the antithesis of what I am, there’s much more to lose yourself in.
I know that people are going to recognize my voice as being different and they are going to be saying, ‘Let me listen a little bit closer to see if she says something that I don’t agree with.’ They’re probably going to pay a little bit more attention.

Certain things can’t be approximated, so I’m always interested in getting in another way, one which makes the reader bend in closer to the scene even if that scene, especially if that scene, is painful… Brutal language isn’t necessarily the most truthful way of describing a brutal moment.
Everything has the potential to be extraordinary, whether an old photograph, a book or a life. If you find it ordinary, you simply need to take a closer look.

Spring, when the earth tilts closer to the sun, runs a strict timetable of flowers.
The last album, ‘Falling Faster Than You Can Run.’ I was really proud of, but then I didn’t actually know whether it was going to come out on any label at all. So I didn’t know if anyone was going to hear it. Then of course we ended up doing another EP after that called ‘Closer.’
I detest the niqab and the burka for their erasure of women and for dangerously equating piety with that disappearance – the less of you I can see, the closer you must be to God.
I would have to honestly say that my biggest regret is even starting this sport. I think I would’ve lived a different life if I would’ve stayed home in Memphis and worked at the family business. I’d be closer to my family and growing old with them instead of living out at California.
I think Christine and Chad are on the opposite extremes of the spectrum. Christine is a model victim, and Chad is a model perpetrator, and Howard is closer to the middle.

American voters have to pay closer attention to politics if they want to avoid four years of whining about the outcome.
I felt so much closer to my mother after I had babies. It bonds a mother and daughter more.
I feel very, very lucky to have been involved with a project that’s gone on as long as ‘The Closer’ has. You really don’t get to do that in this profession.
I’m just mystified and fascinated by women, and I’m still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I’m unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn’t inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I’m getting closer.
I like a fragrance that you notice and want to find out more about – get a bit closer. I don’t want to walk in and be jolted awake by someone’s smell.
After many of years of getting cast in sweet, angelic roles, I’m finally getting to play closer to my real life as a horrible person.
Films for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations.
My views of the missionary object are, indeed, different from what they were when I was first set on fire by Buchanan’s ‘Star in the East’ six years ago. But it does not always happen that a closer acquaintance with an object diminishes our attachment and preference.
The more times I was turned down, the more I believed I was getting closer to making it. A lot of people in Korea say that failure is the mother of success, so I believed that more times I failed, the more likely I was to succeed.

One of the most beautiful ways for spiritual formation to take place is to let your insecurity lead you closer to the Lord. Natural hypersensitivity can become an asset; it makes you aware of your need to be with people and it allows you to be more willing to look at their needs.
It’s good to have someone on the tour so close to you – I mean, like, my sister. There is no one closer to me on the tour, so I don’t need any other friends than her. We always talk about everything; not only about tennis, but about all the other stuff around tennis.
It was a slow process of getting closer and closer to my actual personality on stage. And now there’s very little separation. I definitely find the more open and vulnerable I am, the more people enjoy it.

The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.
