I didn’t have a teenage or early-20s experience that was free and without worry. I missed the screw-everything, have-a-good-time phase.
I feel like I missed my era, because I remember the time when black people uplifted each other and looked for the positives. I feel sorry for the people who live their lives in the negative default setting because they filter out what’s good, and that’s no way to live.
I never missed weight.
I never actually watched ‘Teletubbies.’ Maybe I missed out.
If I missed my moment, I missed my moment. I mean, I wasn’t pining to be president of the United States.
I remember being scared to death of horror movies as a kid. Sometimes, I missed the whole movie because I was so scared and couldn’t look.
Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?
The Ballon d’Or has never been something that I’ve missed.
I feel like a lot of women have been questioning their role in their workplaces and society, opportunities that they may have missed or haven’t spoken up for.
Reports in Washington show that our reasoning was just like that of your physicists. With all this information available, at least to privileged persons, I cannot understand why it is generally held in the United States that we completely missed the basic principle of the bomb until after Hiroshima.
Lumpy and lazy; I aspired to lethargy. In the second year of university, I missed half my classes just because I couldn’t pull myself out of bed.
I missed out on my childhood. I had to work hard, but I was immediately given a place in playback.
I think the Postal Service has missed an opportunity to position itself to get a bigger share of the package market and has been facing the declining mail market, driving up cost and not being able to achieve the service standards that it’s put in place.
Life has been good to me. It’s not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.
I missed a lot of school. I was always sick. I was in the hospital a lot. Asthma kicked my butt.
I always won in my imagination. I always hit the game-winning shot, or I hit the free throw. Or if I missed, there was a lane violation, and I was given another one.
Being from Brazil, I missed out on a lot of American music, so I like to go back and check things out – music from the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies. So much of that stuff was groundbreaking.
The right moment wears a full head of hair: when it has been missed, you can’t get it back; it’s bald in the back of the head and never turns around.
The only thing I’ve kind of missed is finding a really good western that I want to do, because I watched westerns a lot.
I got sick of high school really quick, and I dropped out in 10th or 11th grade. I was in such a rush to grow up that I think I missed a lot of it.
The crowd is wonderful. There is always a superb atmosphere in the finish area. It’s good for the World Cup. I missed it a lot when I had to rest and it’s so nice to be back here.
When I originally entered UCLA, I had planned to go for a film major, but I kept finding myself taking math classes for fun, ’cause I missed them from high school!
The ‘Agent X’ set was never boring. During the first few days, I had to adjust to the loud noise on set, which included gun shots and explosions. After we finished filming the season, I realized I missed hearing all the noise and driving on empty freeways.
I was lucky enough to train with Carragher and Gerrard, and watch what they did on a daily basis – they never missed a session. I’d look how Carragher played, how he spoke and he was big to follow.
I missed the television train at some point. I don’t know what happened, but now I’ve created a complex about it. I’m missing out on what everybody’s watching, and now I can’t even begin to think about starting to watch a television show because it’s been so long. I don’t even have a Netflix account.
There were three Selma-to-Montgomery marches in March 1965, and Rosa Parks had missed the first one. Parks, whose act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, moved to Detroit two years later for safety reasons.
I cannot pick one single forest to be a favourite, but I am in love with the Indian jungles – be it Madhumalai and Kabini in South India or Tadoba and Pench National Park in Maharashtra. The wildlife in Satpura and Corbett National Park can’t be missed, either.
There’s a photograph of me in the transplant unit where I have a vomit bucket under one arm, I have my laptop on my knees, and I’m crying, not because, you know, I’m about to have a bone marrow transplant, but because I’ve missed a deadline!
Sometimes I think I missed out on things like travelling. I’d have been terrified of missing an audition. I didn’t start a family because that’s not something I take lightly. Acting meant so much to me.
I’m also looking for gems that the average reader might have missed.
I had mentors, growing up in gay life – older gay men who told me about our history and the history of art and culture – but somehow, the younger generation missed out on that synergy.
I wake up and check my Instagram to see what I missed out on last night. Then I check my Twitter. Then I check my Tumblr.
Incidents of the past – a lost love, a missed opportunity – shape us and make us what we are.
I led a sheltered life until I went to college. But I wasn’t deprived and I can’t say I missed anything as a kid except a lot of heartaches.
I missed so much of the Swinging Sixties by working. From 1961 to 1969, I got up at 4.30 A.M., a car came for me at 5.30 A.M., and I was taken to our studio at Teddington or Elstree, and we filmed until I got home at 9.30 P.M., five days a week.
I feel like I missed a whole period of my childhood because I had a bunch of stressful things happen to me when I was like 17, 18, when people usually feel the most free in life, like going to college and like anything is possible.
I knew about holiness, never having missed a Sunday-school class since I started at four years. But if Jews were also religious, how could our neighbor with the grease-grimy shirt use the word ‘damn’ about them?
My thirst for knowledge and experience comes from the idea that once you learned something, it was time to learn something else. I missed out on a formal educational process, so I’m making up for that.
Whoever has not experienced the pleasure of taking a young lady to her first game of ball should seize the first opportunity to do so. Her remarks about plays, her opinions of different players and the umpire, and the questions she will ask concerning the game, are all too funny to be missed.
When you experience a failure as a leader, don’t hide it – talk about it. Your missed opportunity will encourage others to take risks.
Fourth is the worst position to finish. You just missed the podium.
Dick Clark will be truly missed. We will carry on his legacy every New Year’s Eve.
My heart goes out to the Lindsay Lohans and Britneys who have really had childhood taken from them and probably missed important developmental steps. They have become sort of ‘public domain’ and something to be made money on. There’s no sense of self there, I’m sure of it.
I never missed a Sunday lunch growing up and I’ve continued that tradition with my own family.
With my kids I just missed so many things, and that’s a regret I have.
I missed a lot of time with my kids and events with my family.
My first big job was an Abercrombie &Fitch campaign. But my mom wouldn’t let me skip school for it, so I missed half of the shoot. When we got there, we realized Bruce Weber was the photographer; we knew we had made a mistake!
One Missed Call’ was one of many J-horror films at that time.
It’s a very relaxed approach at Sporting in terms of football. They pride themselves on bringing you up as a polite and respectful person. They would never get angry with you if you missed a pass but they would do if you were disrespectful to someone. There was no shouting.
Sometime around 2006, I decided I had missed my true calling as a young adult author.
When a critic or journalist writes, ‘It’s too complex,’ or, ‘It’s full of plot holes,’ they very rarely take the step of identifying what they mean. The reason they do that is to protect themselves, because they don’t want to reveal that they may have misunderstood or missed something.
I once missed an appointment because I left my house, I locked the door. And then I thought, like anybody else, you know, ‘I don’t think I locked the door.’ I just kept going back to the door. And I couldn’t stop myself from checking and checking.
In ‘The High Low’, in some respects an audio version of ‘Grazia,’ Pandora Sykes and Dolly Alderton wonder whether they missed something in their survey of the Harvey Weinstein story. Maybe they did, they decide.
By the fall of 2007, my last remaining Iraqi friend in Baghdad had left. Once he was gone, my connection to the country and the war began to thin, even as the terror diminished. I missed the improvement that came with the surge, and so, in my nervous system, I never quite registered it.
We see organizations that target young black men to give them direction in life, but so often, black girls are missed. I wanted to represent them.
