Sherlock is a portrait of humanity – he takes nature’s gift of thought and runs with it, bringing along all the human struggles, fears, and insecurities. He’s the hero we could see ourselves being.
It is inconceivable that even the gang who runs Russia would be willing to take on war, but one always has to remember that there seemed to be no reason in 1939 for Hitler to start war, and yet he did, and he started it with a world practically unprepared.
In my first year, when I was driving in runs, winning games and making headlines, there was an old man who came to games at Seals Stadium, and one day he called me over, introduced himself and told me not to believe anything written about me or think too much of all the accolades.
A lot of people say, ‘AC/DC – that’s the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!’
The first act is the easiest to plot. The second act is always the hardest to plot. Generally a good, you know, sometimes the third act can be difficult because you can get into a rut in the third act – everybody runs to their Corvette, has a chase, and you catch the bad guy.
It doesn’t matter whether you move your feet or not; if your head is still and body is in balance, you can score lots of runs. This I learned from Tendulkar.
Being explosive, quick, elusive and fast helps my game, so I do tons of lunges, leg press and different explosion type of runs.
What matters is what you do. And this runs counter to what a lot of the culture teaches people about putting feelings first. By contrast, resilient people focus not on what they intend, but on what they achieve.
Despite its obscurity, probably no element on the periodic table has as colorful a history as antimony. Money, madness, poison, linguistics, charlatanism, sex – pretty much every theme that runs through the periodic table can be found in Element 51.
My favorite ski slope is the kind that winds up at the cafeteria. My children, though, usually insist that I get out and take on a few expert runs, in a game called ‘Let’s See if We Can Get Our Inheritance Early.’
You draw the best things from your parents and family. You’re going to pick up some of the bad things as well – there’s a temper that runs through my dad’s side of the family that I’m not especially keen on picking up a giant block of.
Power runs with ideas that only the crazy would draw into doubt.
Aiyana is my heart that runs around and lives outside my body. We have spent the last nine years so utterly together. Bringing her up almost single-handedly has been exhilarating, exhausting and empowering.
Trent Bridge, 2013, is my favourite Test. An Ashes opener and England won a thriller by 14 runs. I managed to take ten wickets, which helps.
I would be proud if I can score as many runs as Rahul Dravid by the time I retire and serve the country as long as he did.
You’re there to score runs. If you don’t do that over a period of time, people will look elsewhere. That hasn’t changed and that’ll never change, whether it’s myself or Jimmy Anderson, you’ve got to play to a certain level to be picked for England or even Essex.
I’m the same guy I’ve always been. I’m the same guy now as when I was hitting 50 home runs. I don’t change.
After you score 300 runs in one innings, you begin to feel that every innings should be close to this one. Of course, I know that won’t happen. But I will be disappointed if I get going well and am unable to convert it into a huge score.
When Haye runs into my right hand, he’ll know.
Ike runs the country, and I turn the pork chops.
Pull and sweep are two shots which can help me score runs outside India. These are two shots that can immediately put pressure back on bowlers.
WWE is a company that produces fiction. It’s a soap opera that runs 52 weeks a year without reruns.
I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.
Let’s say music is needed for only 43 seconds of film. You have to score it so it is an entity, so it won’t bother anyone when it ends so quickly. Or if a song runs 2 minutes and 45 seconds, but the titles run a minute longer, you have to arrange that song so it doesn’t get repetitious.
Beauty is not all there is of poetry. It must contain the truth. It is not simply an oak, rude and grand, neither is it simply a vine. It is both. Around the oak of truth runs the vine of beauty.
Our discomfort with female leadership runs deep. We call little girls bossy. We never really call little boys bossy, because a boy is expected to lead, so it doesn’t surprise or offend.
I think both Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva are establishing legacies just by how long they’ve maintained their championship runs. I think both of them still have a lot left in their careers.
Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it’s not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align.
I spent a long time reporting on trans issues, and I know in the course of that reporting I saw how deeply adversity runs.
No. 7 is not an easy position. The way you play is dictated by the pace of the game and you have to try to get quick runs. Even top players like Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes find it hard.
I always have my journal with me. It was handmade by a guy at the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. If you go there he can make you one. It’s leather and bronze and I’m able to replace the paper when it runs out. It has a lion on the cover that I say is there to protect my thoughts.
My book is traditional. It runs counter to the post-modern spirit.
My brother Alex is so creative. He’s good at making stuff and runs his own clothing brand.
Although I was raised in Canada and the U.K., my roots are in Egypt through my father, in a family line that stretches back generations and runs along the Nile, from the concrete of Cairo to the coast of Alexandria.
To me the most important thing was stirring things up and scoring some runs so we could win a ballgame.
I read a lot for me. But I’m not one of those people who gets ‘The New York Times’ book review and runs out and buys 10 books and is done with them and passing them out to friends, you know, two weeks later.
I’ve always been a bit shy, especially in new situations. But I have that other side in me too. Cricket demands that you grow up fast. Playing in domestic tournaments as an overseas player, you’re expected to score runs and bring a lot to the group. And I expect that of myself.
We’re quick to describe politicians whose views we find extreme or whose behavior seems odd as ‘crazy,’ and perhaps anyone who runs for president in some sense is. But I’ve long wondered whether Newt Gingrich merits that designation in a more clinical sense.
It’s not that I don’t want to do different films. The non-mainstream stuff that I did started to get successful… But for an industry which runs essentially on money, they do put you in a box.
Any investment bought via credit always runs the risk of margin calls and, eventually, liquidation.
I think coming from the Northwest is something that’s born in your blood. On my mom’s side, I’m, like, a sixth-generation Oregonian. My family came over in the covered wagons, ‘Oregon Trail’-video-game style. Maybe the pioneer mentality runs in my blood because they were all pioneers.
Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing.
We didn’t score any runs today. That’s not my fault.
I’m doing a record that has a story that runs through all of the songs, and then there is also a film that goes along with it.
I don’t run outside, honestly. Sometimes I go out around my house, but mainly it’s the stupid treadmill. I wish I had a better answer, but I’m very businesslike about my runs.
Fear has been a big battle, it runs rampant in my sport so I love to overcome that, to challenge it head on, because there is nothing that feels as accomplished as overcoming a fear, and something that has blocked you in such a big way.
My life is such a contradiction. My soul yearns for holiness and then runs from the mortification necessary to attain it.
We need to significantly increase the number of bombing runs we’re conducting in Iraq and Syria.
I am quite stingy when it comes to giving runs away.
I’m usually writing about survival. I never planned it, but it runs through all my books.
Well, it really describes what it feels like to be a normal person whose boss and friend suddenly runs for the president, and then becomes the president.
I have two incredible sisters who have very high-powered jobs and kids and, you know, both have their master’s; one runs triathlons all the time.
The man who runs may fight again.
The batsman does not always need to create big hits. He can hit a boundary, then pick up some singles and still gets nine runs. To avoid that, I need to plan in a way where he must look to hit wherever there is a fielder. That is what is called ‘bowling to the field.’
I’ve played in every type of situation. But to not have one run in the playoffs where you just make one of those magical runs? That’s what I want.
