I love being as bad as possible! You’ve got to love a bad girl. Look at ‘Gone With the Wind,’ Scarlett O’Hara – total bad girl, but you love her.
Incredibly, oil and gas companies don’t have to pay certain environmental costs that amount to small change to them, while an offshore wind project start-up is faced with fees that could mean the difference between building a wind farm and packing up and going home.
For all I know, I am beginning with the ending. My page one can wind up a year later as page two hundred, if it’s still even around.
You cannot power the world on wind and solar.
I recently declined to support a Conservative function because I’m so incensed about these wind turbines. Like all so-called climate-change doubters, I am very pro the environment, but I strongly believe that it is something that can only be cured locally. Some insane overall scheme isn’t going to cure all the problems.
I am a self-taught water skier and wind surfer.
In my district back in Texas, significant because we have a big solar panel production plant in Keller, Texas, we have a wind turbine plant in Gainesville, Texas, up in Cook Country.
Of course, the wind sort of swept up and the music was flying around in mid air and they were trying to play off it. You had to be there. It was quite funny.
We never overthought the message aspect of Earth, Wind & Fire. We pretty much were all raised the same… We just wanted to contribute positivity in our music and humanity.
I feel like I love a little bit of everything. I grew up listening to the stuff my parents liked, from Earth, Wind & Fire, Luther Vandross, Billy Joel to Bruce Springsteen and The Mommas & The Poppas.
As time goes by, I realize that I do trust the wind. And I often write my songs for myself.
Oaths are but words, and words are but wind.
I would just go wherever the wind blew, and I would always get myself into crazy situations. By some miracle, I’m still alive.
I have asked the village blacksmith to forge golden chains to tie our ankles together. I have gathered all the gay ribbons in the world to wind around and around and around and around and around and around again around our two waists.
I’ve seen public opinion shift like the wind and put out the very fire it lighted.
I saw my brother have an altercation one time. He hit a guy with a left hook to the body and a right hand to the chin. He not only knocked the guy out, but out of wind. That stuck with me. It scared me.
O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?
I talk in subjects and verbs, and sort of wind around in concentric circles until I get far enough away from the beginning so that I can call it the end, and it ends.
Usually, we find it difficult to control our mind. It seems as if our mind is like a balloon in the wind – blown here and there by external circumstances.
If government is so keen to let local people have a veto in stopping wind farms, why does it not allow local people to say no to fracking?
If you really want to wind up Piers Morgan, send him a pic of Jeremy Clarkson.
I’m not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they’re popular or not.
There is an urgent need to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, dramatically reduce wasted energy, and significantly shift our power supplies from oil, coal, and natural gas to wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources.
I have spent a great deal of my life being part of minorities. Some of the people I admire the most in the world have had the courage to defend, against wind and tide, minority viewpoints in those frightening times when any disagreement with universal conformity is identified as treason.
‘Bombay Velvet’ is my most romantic film, it’s my ‘Titanic’ or ‘Gone With The Wind.’
I do admit that I’ve never been one to fit in easily to any given pattern. It’s not my choice. It’s just the way I am. So if the characters I wind up playing are all a bit different, it must be because that’s the way I like it. Anna Kendrick is different, and she’s going to stay that way.
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
To read Transtromer – the best times are at night, in silence, and alone – is to surrender to the far-fetched. It is to climb out of bed and listen to what the house is saying, and to how the wind outside responds. Each of his readers reads him as a personal secret.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Sunlight and wind are inherently unreliable and energy-dilute. As such, adding solar panels and wind turbines to the grid in large quantities increases the cost of generating electricity, locks in fossil fuels, and increases the environmental footprint of energy production.
We don’t need to allow any more Nancy Pelosies to wind up in Congress.
Renewable energy, including from offshore wind, is crucial to the effort to avoid some of the worst effects of climate change, according to environmentalists and some elected officials.
I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat… eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
I’m scared by the enormous amount of bottled water being consumed today, instead of people drinking filtered tap water. Did you know that nearly 90 percent of those plastic bottles are not recycled and wind up in landfills where it takes thousands of years for the plastic to decompose?
Fiction writers have long turned to winter to advance bluer palettes, slicker surfaces, and sharper contrasts. The sky darkens, the wind picks up, and flakes start to fall. Horizons shrink. Couples bicker. Cars slide off roads. Obliteration tends to loiter between the sentences.
Wisdom sails with wind and time.
Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It’s OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.
There may be left-wing or liberal solutions to our deeper problems. But an elite that tries to manage them away with more enlightened media curation deserves to inherit nothing but the wind.
I wanted to be like Vivien Leigh in ‘Gone With the Wind.’ I wanted to have black hair, green eyes and break hearts.
The autumn wind is a pirate. Blustering in from sea with a rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously. His face is weather beaten, he wears a hooded sash with a silver hat about his head… The autumn wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun.
A great wind is blowing, and that gives you either imagination or a headache.
What we accepted as great art – whether the book, the script, the painting, the symphony – is that which could be saved and savored. But the performances of the athletic artists who ran and jumped and wrestled were gone with the wind.
Having a range of perspectives allows you to tell stories through a different lens and approach things from fresh angles. If you’re straining everything through the same filter, you’re always going to wind up with the same product.
Companies should not have a singular view of profitability. There needs to be a balance between commerce and social responsibility… The companies that are authentic about it will wind up as the companies that make more money.
You don’t want to throw out a good idea and have nobody get excited about it. It takes the wind out of your sails.
Tribes have the potential to provide almost 15 percent of the country’s electricity with wind power, and have 4.5 times the solar resources to power the entire U.S.
Americans are in need of an all-of-the-above energy approach, and when you think about all-of-the-above, you think about wind, solar, hydrogen, think about all those groovy technologies I really like.
I’m facing Niagara Falls – the wind and the mist and the dark and the peregrine falcons – and I’m going to stay focused on the other side.
Our lives feel like these epochs, but really, we are dust in the wind.
Some people do stage and film. Some people are film actors, and some people are stage actors. I’m quite sure that any of the actors who did the original production of ‘August’ could have done the film of ‘August.’ I don’t think any of them were particularly surprised when they didn’t wind up doing the film.
Cooking for me is a way to wind down. It’s different from cooking on camera, where you have to do everything twice, for a wide shot and a close-up.
I know I’m not the kind of person who’s gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock ‘n’ roll artists. They just play their hits and that’s it. That doesn’t appeal to me.
There is this strange fog of being a young man that I would refer to as soft time. Time does not go forward there. It’s a series of doors that kind of wind back into one another, like a series of doors in the upper floor of a house. You revisit the same lessons over and over again, or you choose to ignore them.
I don’t know, my music has always just come from where the wind blew me. Like where I’m at during a particular moment in time.
