Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel.
What, nephew, said the king, is the wind in that door?
Fossil fuels are raw materials that have to be extracted and processed. Wind and solar energy are different. The only costs associated with them are technological.
I couldn’t imagine screaming ‘Action!’ on an outdoor set over a wind machine or whatever.
All my ideas have blown away with the wind.
Meteorite hunting is not for wimps. The best places to look are also the coldest and windiest. You need very old ice, and you need wind, lots of it, strong and unrelenting. Antarctica fits the bill.
Raphael Saadiq said to me, quite often, that Chuck D was his history teacher. And so he got a lot from the music, things that he wasn’t getting maybe in school. And I feel the same way with regards to Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder.
In some ways, privileged women who are closer to power wind up being able to exert their influence in ways that change public policy in ways that women with less power don’t have access to.
All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can’t help it.
Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
We have ensured through the 2013 Energy Act that low-carbon energy resources have a secure future in our energy mix. Wind, tidal, nuclear, biomass and CCS all have a major role to play.
In my life outdoors, I’ve observed that animals of almost any variety will stand in a windy place rather than in a protected, windless area infested with biting insects. They would rather be annoyed by the wind than bitten.
Tennis is not always that accessible but I sometimes think badminton is harder – tennis you can always play against the wall but badminton is tough to even play outdoors with the wind.
I just think it’s shocking how many of these young people wind up in prison and they get turned into hardcore criminals because they had a possession of a very small amount of controlled substance.
Solar power, wind power, the way forward is to collaborate with nature – it’s the only way we are going to get to the other end of the 21st century.
Wind depends on temperature. Temperature depends on pressure. And pressure depends on wind. It’s an intricate mathematical tapestry that is far too intertwined to unpick by hand.
Sailing is such a variable sport. There could be no wind, or there could be 25 knots. You never know what you’re going to get.
As a child I read all kinds of stuff, whether it was ‘Asterix and Obelix’ and ‘Tin Tin’ comic books, or ‘Lord of the Rings,’ or Frank Herbert’s sci-fi. Or ‘The Wind in the Willows.’ Or ‘Charlotte’s Web.’
The populace is like the sea motionless in itself, but stirred by every wind, even the lightest breeze.
Deeper investment in green energy technology will create millions of high-paying American jobs that cannot be outsourced, rebuilding our nation’s manufacturing economy, starting with wind turbines and solar panels stamped ‘Made in America.’
This record has a lot of influences that I’d love to cover, like Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind and Fire. Maybe I’ll do some covers of my major influences during my live show.
Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind.
I just like Forrest Gump. Maybe I’m a little smarter than him, maybe I’m not. Probably because of the whole Southern aspect of his character and for some reason I always wind up on the better end of all deals… I’ve just kind of got the old silly boy luck!
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
When you start a company, it’s a singular focus. You have the wind at your back.
My inners are not organs. They’re actually mechanics, so I have a hole in my back, wind me up like the movie ‘Hugo,’ and then just say, ‘Act,’ you know?
Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.
The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It’s the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it – no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.
Running is so natural to me. When I was running track, people used to ask me, ‘When are you gonna start running hard?’ The wind hits me in the face, and I feel so smooth… Man, I love to run!
Making America great again, as if to keep the world out. The world and all its fresh ideas and everything that’s new and exhilarating and the wind of change that should blow through the world – block it out, wall ourselves up. That for me goes with a small vocabulary. A narrow, confining vocabulary.
When the wind blows through a wood, its mass is cut and closed by every leaf, forming a train of jittery vortices in the air.
Years ago, I was watching a debate on Fox News, when I thought, ‘These guys are basically like pranksters, they bring the people in and wind them up.’ I was like, ‘That’s what I do!’
A basketball was in my hands 24/7, playing one-on-one against everybody and anybody, trying to prove against the older guys, just playing. The wind blowing outside, double rims, stuff like that, just always playing ball.
It’s still possible to make movies. Not so much on YouTube. On YouTube, you wind up with an advertising career. What movie became infamous and a hit because of YouTube? Maybe there is one. I don’t know.
Wind energy threatens golden eagles, bald eagles, burrowing owls, red-tailed hawks, Swainson’s hawks, American kestrels, white-tailed kites, peregrine falcons, and prairie falcons, among many others.
I don’t trust Santa Barbara as far as I can spit. I am afraid that if I went back there, it’s possible that I could be run through their system, their judicial system, and wind up in some county jail where I could be killed and I’m not gonna take that chance.
The hits always wind up being the songs with big, high choruses. They’re the ones too high to sing every night – not that you’ll ever, ever hear me complain about having to try.
The wind industry has made major strides over the past two decades, and they have proven their industry to be efficient and self-sustainable. There is no need for the taxpayer to continue to subsidize a wind start-up tax credit.
I think everybody does go in expecting they’re making ‘Gone With The Wind’ on their first movie. But you know, that’s just not going to be the case, everybody. Hold onto your hat. Buckle in. It’s probably going to take a few.
When I wind someone up, it’s never to make them feel angry or aggressive; that doesn’t make good telly. It’s about uncovering a layer of themselves that is kind of sweet and nice.
My favorite room in the house is my kitchen. It’s definitely the heart and soul of our home. It’s where we gather in the morning as a family to start the day, and it’s where we wind down at night over supper.
Artificial pitches are just one more condition for us, like sun, wind or snow; we should be able to deal with such conditions.
If the poetry world celebrate its female stars at the true level of their productivity and influence, poetry would wind up being a largely female world, and the men would leave.
I haven’t pursued it as a senator because I know it’s like spitting in the wind. But I still believe it’s the right thing. And if I were governor and a bill came to my desk that provided for background checks at gun shows, I would sign that.
We have more natural resources – coal, oil, wind – across the board not only to be energy independent but to be a leading exporter.
I watched ‘Eurovision.’ And I actually like the show. I like wind machines. I like the whole glimmer-glamour thing. That’s ‘Eurovision.’ We love to hate it.
What you find is, you have to deliver a product that has value to the customer. When you do, and I think the wind community is getting much closer to that, customers will want it.
The sensitive artist knows that a bitter wind is blowing.
We must not let ourselves be swept off our feet in horror at the danger of nuclear power. Nuclear power is not infinitely dangerous. It’s just dangerous, much as coal mines, petrol repositories, fossil-fuel burning and wind turbines are dangerous.
And my mother caught wind of this. She never had really tried to guide my career or really had any say in my life as an adult, but this was the one time she said she would never speak to me again if I quit acting.
I like to escape; I like to write when I go on a walk – I’m kind of very fairy that way. I get inspired by the wind. Or when I daydream, that’s when I write.
I subscribe to the online Urban Dictionary’s definition of nerd: ‘one whose IQ exceeds his weight’. I’m also keen on the same Urban Dictionary’s definition of geek: ‘the person you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult’. I happily proclaim myself a book nerd/reading geek and proud of it.
Wind developers have realised the importance of transparent method of price discovery, which was demonstrated in the solar sector. They realise that bidding brings in efficiency, and tariff is right-sized.
The first sign of real obsession with music was with an old wind-up gramophone that mum had thrown out into the garage. My parents gave me three old 45s – two Supremes records and one Tom Jones record – and I used to come home from school literally every day, go out to the garage, wind this thing up, and play them.
