I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can’t stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can’t bear to take a shower. Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
My son is 6. I wouldn’t let my six-year-old son near any football field. And if any coach asks my son to play football, I’ll sue that coach, and I’ll sue the school.
With the first issue of ‘Weasel,’ I was even aware myself that I’d improved. I still have affection for my earlier stuff, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as good as ‘Weasel.’
Somewhere near you, somebody right now is trying to help the indigent and poor – providing food, shelter, clothing or simple kindness.
It’s the worst feeling in the world – to lose in the first round at Sheffield and then have to go home – because it’s such a long tournament, and it’s hard to avoid it. It’s on the TV all day every day, and if I lost, I didn’t want to be anywhere near snooker.
I remember my agent at ICM at the beginning of my career telling me that I wasn’t pretty enough, that I was always going to be a quirky sidekick. And he was an ogre of a man. He should have been carrying a torch. If he was in a bar, he couldn’t have come near me, and then he was deciding my fate.
I was born at Rotten Row in Glasgow and brought up in Loch Lomond near a small place called Gartocharn. And it’s a bit like anyone: where you’re brought up, you have an irresistible attraction to that place; it defines who you are.
I never know what I’m going to write next. If I’m still writing the book but I’m very near the end, and I begin to think of what I’d like to do next, then I’ll know that what I’m writing is in hand. I’ll think of an ending and it will be fine.
I live near Thompson Square Park, and there are a lot of colorful people I see in the park – a lot of different personalities and homeless people – you get to know them. And every now and then, there is suddenly someone who is no longer around, and you’re just like, ‘Wow,’ but you never really know what happened to them.
All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.
In the early 1950s, during the near avalanche of discoveries, rediscoveries, and redefinitions of subcellular components made possible by electron microscopy, those prospecting in this newly opened field were faced with the problem of what to do with their newly acquired wealth.
On the night of the 1st of September we observed for the first time signs of the natives being in the neighbourhood. Fires were seen on the low land near Cape Frederick Henry, and at daylight we saw the natives with our glasses.
I have over a hundred wigs, I like to change them damn near every hour.
I have found great power in taking my ‘difference’ out for a spin in a very public way. And usually, the worst, most personally embarrassing thing you imagine in your mind is often not anywhere near as bad in real life.
Across the board, people are looking at the problem, but simply not changing anywhere near fast enough.
I think I’m lucky in life and not just in football. I was very fortunate to play for a great organization and a great team that was really good near the end of my career.
I really have a passion for the sea, so I think it’s important that whatever I do, I want to be near the sea.
We slept in the park before we had a house, and eventually we shared a home – my parents, my grandparents and five uncles, my family, all of us – on White Oaks Street by Magnolia Street near the railroad. Those were hard times, but I loved living there.
I love motocross and would love to have a go but I can’t go anywhere near them in case I got injured.
The first time my dad ever heard my mixtape it was ‘Summer’s Eve,’ and he was fresh out of jail. And he’d be in jail for like damn near two years.
Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us; ordinary men gain much.
We copied laws and regulations from western countries, but enforcement remains weak, and environmental litigation is still quite near impossible.
I really did graduate at 14, and I go to college in the Los Angeles area near where I live.
If you listen to ‘Pod Save America’, which is run by former Obama staffers and Democratic party partisans, you’ll be exposed to ads for home delivery of everything from gourmet meals to underwear, presumably in the belief that you’re too busy being fabulous to go near a shop.
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I’m nowhere near Einstein’s caliber.
I’ve seen teams spend £150 million and get nowhere near the Champions League. It has taken Manchester City a billion to get there. There are no guarantees.
Sure, there were people from Missouri and Illinois who grew up Cardinals fans and migrated to New York for work or love. Cardinals fans congregate periodically at Foley’s near Herald Square to root for the team of their childhood, up there on the TV screen.
Email cannot die in the near future because of its universal acceptance.
I lived in an apartment near Wrigley Field.
As a child, we would all go to a tiny village near Burgos, and we’d have typical Spanish parties in the summer. There would be a band and grandparents dancing all night dressed up as American Indians and things like that.
Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I’ve always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers.
I can’t play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn’t bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can’t hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese.
I didn’t want to go to college, and my parents said, ‘Well, then you’d better get a job, because we’re not paying for you to drop out of school.’ So I delivered pizza near USC for a while. We had to wear khakis and a baseball hat with the logo on it, and I worked almost every day.
The conception that, instead of this, contemporary society is at or near a turning point is very prominent in the views of a school of social scientists who, though they are still comparatively few, are getting more and more of a hearing.
John Cleese was a big hero of mine. He grew up in Weston Super Mare near Bristol where I grew up; he was always very tall and gangly, but he was smart and used his physicality in a very funny way. I used to think, ‘Well he came from Weston and he did it, so there’s a chance for me.’
I have my husband and children near me in Rome, and I feel this is where we are temporarily belonging. But personally, all my life, I have felt the absence of a sense of history.
You remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.
You know, Tupac is very near and dear to my heart. He started my career as an actor.
I spent years shaking the damage that comes with being burned by living near someone else’s spotlight.
America’s fine, nice, nice hiking near L.A. But I am European. I love London and Paris. Friends and intellect, big thought, why not?
I found the brick-making process fascinating – how, after being burnt, the brick would come out strong. I liked to sit on the stack of bricks and look as far as I could. I’d do the same at a hillock near my school – just sit on top at leisure and enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world.
My greatest moment as a jock occurred when I was 14 and playing punch ball in front of my house on Albemarle Road near East 17th Street in Brooklyn. I ran back, back for a ball, and it fell in my hands. I didn’t even see it. Everyone congratulated me on the catch, and I never told them how it really happened.
I was the middle child of three boys and grew up in the village of Barton Seagrave near Kettering, Northamptonshire. My father, Nigel, followed his father, Keith, into shoe manufacturing.
Sisterhood is important because we are all we have to stand on. We have to stand near and by each other, pray for one another, and share the joys and the difficulties that women face in the world today. If we don’t talk about it among ourselves, then we are made silent by the patriarchy, and that serves us no purpose.
Half of Google’s revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.
You never have a comedian who hasn’t got a very deep strain of sadness within him or her. Every great clown has been very near to tragedy.
I think it’s shameful when you sell out. It depends what kind of artist you wanna be, but I don’t want my name anywhere near another brand.
There was a mental institution near my house, and I would donate time teaching mentally ill patients how to do ceramics. I photographed them as well. So those were my first pictures.
Superstitions and belief in magic are perennial in just the same way as religion, and something near to being universal among mankind; and why this is so may be interesting, but in most cases the beliefs themselves are devoid of interesting content, at least to me.
