There are two ways of knowing if something ends badly: If you’re honest with yourself, you just kind of know it. And then there’s other people’s reaction to it.
When it is important for you to say something and you find a vehicle to say it, then go for it. It is so rare when that happens so I think every minute spent fighting for it is always worth it. Even if nothing ends up happening, it’s still worth the fight.
I know all’s fair in love and war but when you go off and try to be by yourself and it ends up on the front page of the press it’s frightening, knowing your life is under such scrutiny.
We find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.
I like to say, ‘Chop suey’s the biggest culinary joke that one culture has ever played on another,’ because chop suey, if you translate into Chinese, means ‘tsap sui,’ which, if you translate back, means ‘odds and ends.’
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom… in a clarification of life – not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
Every suggested idea produces a corresponding physical reaction. Every idea constantly repeated ends by being engraved upon the brain, provoking the act which corresponds to that idea.
Late afternoon on the West Coast ends with the sky doing all its brilliant stuff.
The British press are a group of unremitting scumbags. And sometimes they use that scumbaggery to good ends, and often not.
Kastellorizo is where Europe ends and Asia begins, and its history is fascinating.
Anyone interested in language ends up writing about the sociological issues around it.
In the ‘365 Fresh’ MV, the story ends with us falling to the ground. Meanwhile, the ‘Retro Future’ MV features us falling onto a car in the beginning. The car that appears in both music videos is the same kind.
Having children truly ends adolescence. We are all either parents or children: responsibility-takers or those who demand from others.
Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.
The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one’s family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.
What I take from writers I like is their economy – the ability to use language to very effective ends.
Mine is a job that never ends, a function where it is almost impossible to set aside time to rest or take a breather.
Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader.
I’m an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
But there is a process that happens when you’re making something, be it a musical or a new play. That process takes time, and mistakes will be made along the way, and you will go down and hit dead ends. But it is so public now. Any yahoo with a computer can start a firestorm.
Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books that nobody reads.
I would never jeopardize classified information to be brought out to the public. This information is all open source. There is no reason to worry about classification. It is simply an attempt by bureaucrats to cover their rear ends.
I have rage and anger issues. So I get mad about stuff in real life, and then I yell about it onstage, and luckily, something funny ends up coming out. What I’ll do is tape-record it, and it will end up coming out even funnier. And I add more punch lines.
Because my hair is curly, I used to do all the straighteners, the Japanese this and the Brazilian that. And at the end of the day, your hair ends up not having a texture, not having the body – no shine. You’re pretty much frying your hair. So understand the type of hair you have and do the best with what you have.
Wrestling is a very demanding thing. But you’re also your own manager. You book your own rental cars, you book your own hotels. You carry your own bags. Your day begins as soon as you wake up, and it ends when you get to bed.
All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
The press always ends up being much nicer than I expect. A lot of times they say something snarky about you, but then you meet them in person and they couldn’t be nicer.
The great Chinese classics have always said that it’s better not to fight; that the clever man achieves his ends without violence; that a battle delayed is better than a battle fought.
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
I loved going to superhero films growing up – you come home, and you pretend to be those people, and it ends up informing much of what you aspire to be. And that’s what I will say is important about the genre.
When the campaign ends, and you are home, the alarm clock is the same, but you don’t know where to start after it goes off: expense reports, new stories, the crusted paint cans that have to go to the hazardous-waste disposal site, the wiper blade on the Honda that has gone droopy.
I hate when a movie just sort of ends and is so open-ended you feel like it wasn’t finished. I appreciate leaving things up to the interpretation of the audience and letting them make decisions about where things will go in the future – but the director has to make a decision; otherwise it is sort of a cop-out.
An ideal day starts with putting on a good, smart, fun show where I learn something and ends with me fending off atomic knee drops from my two kids in our no-holds-barred pillow fight/steel cage matches. They are a ruthless tag team.
All I can say is that I’m going to try to coach the way I’ve coached in the past. And if it ends up not being good enough, then so be it.
From the moment that a fight ends, that fight is in the past, win or lose.
I have my mother’s hips. The minute I eat it, it ends up on my hips.
It’s such a lovely feeling to be in love, to marry the person you love and finally to be with that person. I feel the romance should never go out of any marriage. Even after one has had kids, etc. Love never ends, na?
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon.
We only call at ducks when their rear ends are towards us. If I’m looking at you and you call my name, then I know where the sound came from. But if you had your back to me and I holler and you turn around, you would assume somebody hollered. You want your decoys to represent the sound that you’re making.
Everyone talks about the good old days, when guys were tough and quarterbacks got crushed all the time, but back in the day, there weren’t defensive ends that were Mario Williams – 6-7, 300 pounds, 10 percent body fat, running a 4.7 40.
My average day on ‘Leverage’ starts at 5 A. M. and ends 12 to 14 hours later. An hour drive to the set and back sometimes makes the day unbearably long. You have to grab a few minutes to yourself where you can.
When I first got successful, I was particularly aware of being immaculate at all times, so I would get on a plane in one outfit, and get off in another. It doesn’t happen in today’s world, but when you are met by the press at both ends, you do have to.
Juilliard was four years, and I called it ‘med school with guaranteed unemployment at the end.’ And it ends: you’re getting ready to go out and be an actor, and… nothing.
Extremes in nature equal ends produce; In man they join to some mysterious use.
A standup set ends on a buildup of tension and subsequent release for a big laugh.
I think the idea that life ends when we physically die is as painful as the idea in Cromwell’s time that there’s some awful purgatory, and you have to give money to the Catholic church to get your loved ones out. I certainly have experienced a lot of evidence that there’s a consciousness that isn’t physical.
I’m happy with the way ‘100 Bullets’ ends terribly.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn’t mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
If I have a better idea, I say, ‘Can we try one like this?’ I try not to step on writers’ toes, but ninety-nine percent of the time, it ends up in the movie, and sometimes it’s the line that everyone remembers and quotes from the movie.
I was tired. I hadn’t slept eight hours in two, three years. I lived on four, five hours of sleep. You can do it during a campaign because thousands are screaming for you. You’re getting adrenaline shots each day. Then the campaign ends, and there are no more shots.
I got the most surprising reaction was when I had bleached blonde hair with a black stripe at the bottom – all of the ends were black. That one got the most attention – good and bad.
A lot of players get to a certain point they don’t want to make mistakes. They just want everyone to see how great they are. That ends up being their downfall. You put a cap on yourself.
It’s always good to bat at the top, where you get more opportunities, but sometimes crucial 30s and 40s can be very helpful for the team. Ultimately it is a team sport. Personal records don’t matter much if your team ends up on the losing side.
