People in so many countries look up to the United States as a model of democracy, but I doubt if that can continue. It leaves me with a great sense of loss.
One of my favorite passages in ‘Leaves of Grass,’ that breathless, exuberant poem so rich and full of innocence and joy and generosity and compassion, is ‘Mannahatta.’
Cricket often leaves you scratching your head.
The irony is that the more we fight age, the more it shows. Paint on a 50-year-old face brings to mind a Gilbert and Sullivan comic figure. Smooth the cheeks, and suddenly the ear lobes and hands look out of place. Do we run around in October, painting the gold leaves green?
Sometimes when I need something really nourishing, I’ll use the Creme de la Mer night cream – it leaves my skin looking beautiful. I don’t go too far on my make-up because I have to wear it so often for work, so I’m quite low key.
I’m like a tree. My leaves might change color, but my roots are the same.
Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away- and leaves behind only silence.
Religion leaves no room for human complexity.
When you live in Manchester and it’s raining every day, you’ve got to imagine the sun sometimes. When you’re brought up in concrete, you aim for the green leaves. And when you get to the green leaves, you yearn again for concrete.
After that, Kasparov stepped back from chess which is, and I want this to be clear, not good for chess in general at all. As a whole, the current situation in the chess world leaves a lot to be desired.

Whenever someone leaves, the next person that gets pulled in is somebody with similar values.
Pain leaves a mark, the degree depending on the person and the event.
There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.
For science, the end of the evolution struggle is simply represented by ‘survival.’ As for the means to that end, apparently anything goes. Darwinism leaves humanity without a moral compass.
When Sweden’s Jan-Ove Waldner travels to China to play table tennis, he is mobbed when he leaves his hotel as if he were a rock star walking around Manhattan or a soccer star walking around Europe.
Wakanda is the Marvel world’s most technologically advanced nation, and offensives there can have ramifications everywhere, so that leaves open great possibilities for cameos.
In these days of our new materialistic Irish state, poetry will have a harder, less picturesque task. But the loss of Yeats and all that boundless activity, in a country where the mind is feared and avoided, leaves a silence which it is painful to contemplate.
I’ve never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn’t do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.
Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.
I have experienced firsthand the tremendous impact breast cancer has on the women who fight it and the loved ones who support them. This is a disease that catches you unaware and, without the right resources, leaves you feeling frightened and alone.
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
A beautiful city is Richmond, seated on the hills that overlook the James River. The dwellings have a pleasant appearance, often standing by themselves in the midst of gardens. In front of several, I saw large magnolias, their dark, glazed leaves glittering in the March sunshine.
Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
I lived in Boston for three years, and during that time, I wrote my first collection of stories, ‘What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us;’ other stories that didn’t make it into the collection; and several failed novel openings.
I never want to make the kind of film whose impact ends when the audience leaves the cinema.
He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.
Your home showcases your past, your present, and leaves enough room for your future. It’s art that you live in!
If you can sell yourself as someone who knows how Washington works, someone who has these relationships, that’s a very marketable commodity. If you’re seen as someone who knows how this town works, someone who is a usual suspect in this town, you can dine out for years – that’s why no one leaves.
I have been rather selective, doing not more than two or thee films a year, so that leaves me with plenty of time to prep for my plays and theatre activities.
Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
The mind that has not been developed or trained is very scattered. That’s the normal state of affairs, but it leaves us out of touch with a great deal in life, including our bodies.
I’m really interested in fashion but at the same time I find it quite competitive. Second-hand stuff leaves you more open to whatever your own personal style is rather than feeling dictated to by shops.
Very often at the end of ‘The Sopranos’ you get the feeling that its not under control, you should be very worried, and life is kind of really, really messed up at lot of times. It leaves you feeling very disconcerted. That was kind of the point of it.
Unfortunately, considering that we Latinos are really big for movie companies when they have blockbuster releases or new cable shows, when it comes to the dynamic of supporting our own product, it leaves much to be desired.
Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.
The salary of a member of Congress ends the day that he of she leaves office.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that players care about transfer fees. For a player, they do not care at all. They do not care if they move clubs for one million, 10 million, or 100 million Euros. That is just something a player leaves to his agent and the clubs.
I think of childhood as an explosion of creativity. For most people, growing up and earning a living means leaving all that behind. But an artist never leaves that behind. Edwin Mullhouse was my way of exploring the child as artist and, under the guise of childhood, something larger.
I think, typically, sci-fi can be a little bit grey and thought provoking. Sometimes it leaves you pondering certain questions and things.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
I’ll have been doing ‘Midsomer Murders’ for 14 years by the time ‘Barnaby’ leaves. I’ve formed familial ties with the people involved in the show and they will be hard to break.
The overflow of big money in politics drowns out the voices of everyday people. That is part of the conundrum in this country: The more money you have the more speech you have. That leaves everyday people out of the equation.
Pluralism is denied logically; inclusivism is denied scripturally, and that leaves us with exclusivism… you have to know that Jesus died and believe in it in order to be saved.
When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn’t any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena.
Dec’s punctuality leaves a lot to be desired.
I pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
There’s not much out there that people are fighting for that leaves them with nothing but honor.
Having grown up a trailer park kid on welfare and food stamps, becoming jaded is impossible, although now I make a good living, which I’m not ashamed of; when you’ve been poor, it never leaves you.
Regardless of who leaves and who stays, Ring of Honor is going to continue to be a healthy, growing, successful pro wrestling promotion.
Radio leaves much to the audience’s imagination, allows the listeners to fill in so much, provided that the voices convey enough.
Routinize the routine. The things that aren’t important to you, whether it’s breakfast or your commute, try to do them with the least energy possible so that leaves you with more energy for other things.
When sparrows build and the leaves break forth, My old sorrow wakes and cries.
In the U.S., we are free to speak our minds and to spend money without being forced to reveal our identities – except when using the Web. Browsing the Web leaves digital tracks everywhere in the form of log files, and anyone who hosts a Web site can be easily traced.
I am resigning because my secret leaves the governor’s office vulnerable.
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
