I’m Australian, so I love the stores near Crowne Plaza Melbourne, on the banks of the Yarra River.
I write down three things in the morning that I want to accomplish, but I write it down as if I have already accomplished it. So you write it down three times. And then in the daytime, like near the afternoon, you write it down six times. Then at night, you write it down nine times.
If you take 10,000 people at random, 9,999 have something in common: their interests in business lie on or near the Earth’s surface. The odd one out is an astronomer, and I am one of that strange breed.
I have a nice car, a Mercedes. And then I have an old El Camino truck that I’m crazy about. I like to get in that truck and go up in the hills near where I live, in Vegas, and take my camera. That, to me, is Heaven, being out in nature, taking pictures of the wildlife.
You think back and you ask yourself why you became so interested in wolves. I think it was because when I was very small, growing up in a little hamlet near Shap, we would go to Lowther Wildlife Park for birthday parties. Now closed, it was only three miles from my parents’ house.
My character in ‘True Grit’ would set these goals for herself that seemed near impossible, but to her they were possible. She was never going to believe anything else other than that.
Hard work is damn near as overrated as monogamy.
Barbour is a brand that I have grown up with and been associated with since I was living near the borders of Scotland.
I hate birthdays. I hate birthday parties. I hate them. I don’t know what it is, anybody’s only got to come wafting near me with a piece of cake with a candle on and I break out in hives.
Of everyone else who was running, and there were some very talented people, none of them had anywhere near the experience I had in hiring people, holding them accountable, creating systems for accountability.
The skeptical community is absolutely near and dear to the ‘Mythbusters’ heart and there’s no small reason that they’ve embraced us. That’s our people. That’s the way we like to think.
For many members of Congress, the time for choosing is near – do what the party leadership demands, or do what the people have asked you to do. If my colleagues don’t mind some advice from a newcomer, I’d suggest going with the will of the people.
Sometimes she wants her pacifier, and other times, she doesn’t even want it near her. She’s very strong and determined. She’s always trying to stand, and she was born with her eyes open, so she’s ready to go.
Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that’s what they do in ‘Harry Potter’: The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they’ve been near the Dementors!
We would go to the football pitch near my estate and play until it was dark.
When I was in Milwaukee, I would go into this sneaker shop near my mom’s salon and chop it up with the older heads about music. At school, I would make drum noises on the table so much that I would always get suspended.
I like the Hotel Costes, on rue Saint Honore, a boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Tuileries. I love the dark, moody decor as well as the fantastic scented, candlelit pool in the basement.
For Starbucks, there will be no shortage of the highest-quality arabica beans. I suspect that for some others there could potentially be a problem, not in the near term, but over time.
You know, buffalo are significantly bigger than elk. I grew up near Yellowstone so I’ve been near buffalo. Buffalo are huge.
My father was born in Amsterdam in a highly religious family. He was in Amsterdam, and he went into hiding right near where Anne Frank was. He was a theoretical physicist and the last Jew to get a Ph.D. in Amsterdam.
There aren’t a lot of people from Washington that go crazy so like just to put on for the whole state feels good. Not just Seattle but all the cities and towns that are near there. It feels good to be the one to do that for them.
The best way to catch my attention is to throw a Twinkie near my face.
Not one Argentinian in history had made it to the NBA. So why was it going to be me? There was no way me or anyone that was near me could ever envision a career like this.
Writers collect stories of rituals: John Cheever putting on a jacket and tie to go down to the basement, where he kept a desk near the boiler room. Keats buttoning up his clean white shirt to write in, after work.
The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them.
Jigsaw Lady is the working title of a science fiction novel I’ve had in my head for darn near 15 years. I think I’ll start work on it next year (in all my spare time) but I’d like to get it finished some day.
I conceived in art college at the age of 20, near the end of term.
If a woman tells you she’s twenty and looks sixteen, she’s twelve. If she tells you she’s twenty-six and looks twenty-six, she’s damn near fourty.
What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?
I played baseball, was on the basketball team in high school, did crew at Hofstra, and randomly played ultimate frisbee, too. But none of the organized teams I was on were anywhere near as competitive as the games on the street.
I used to live on a barge – it is incredibly good to write near water. There is an ever-changing landscape, so you never get bored.
I grew up near King’s Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker.
In the spring of 1959, I received an offer of a professorship at Harvard, which I accepted with alacrity since I wanted to be near my family and since the chemistry department at Harvard was unsurpassed.
Very often, if a founder is waiting around for someone else to tell him what to do, the company is near death.
I live my life by these little church signs you see as you drive around, and there’s one near me that says, ‘If we really knew each other, we would neither idolise nor condemn.’ And that’s it: if we all knew each other, then we wouldn’t treat anybody any different. And there wouldn’t be any big stars, I guess.
Grime reminds me, if there is an echo, of sort of near enough like Liverpool in the very early Sixties. It’s a lot of kids obsessed with music – obsessed with it.
I come from a small village called Murud Janjira near Alibaug. I started doing theatre right from school days and later joined the Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art, after which I joined an advertising agency.
That death was near, I suppose I believed, but I saw it only as a rest after the day’s work.
I am usually cooking at least four times a week if I am home. The easiest thing that I do a lot is gazpacho. It’s simple and it tastes best if you let it sit over night in the refrigerator… I don’t want anybody near me when I am cooking. If I am going to make a mistake, it has to be my fault.
When I was a little girl, there was this unbelievably cool female bus driver who’d work near us. I remember thinking I’d like to be her when I grew up.
I grew up in a small town in Sudan. There weren’t many cars, so we did things in the countryside near where we lived.
Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.
Working on location is ideal because you enter the character and the story. Shooting at a studio near home, there’s a certain split. But on location, you forget the real world, and when you come back to reality, just going to the market can be traumatic.
In 10 years, I’d love to live near the sea, in a warmer climate. I could see myself with three dogs… and it’d be great to share them with someone else.
When I was young in the 1960s, all the world watched the youth. Everywhere was the sensation of wanting to break the chains but to do something beautiful. It is my privilege to have beauty always near me.
Many people want to scale back their working hours as they near the end of their careers, but not necessarily to give up work altogether.
The ‘free market’ is a creed that stirs up near religious devotion among its believers. It is in fact a con, a myth, a great deception.
The town of St. Charles near St. Louis was founded by a trapper named Blanchette. There is a section that’s called Frenchtown on historical markers.
Near the gates and within two cities there will be scourges the like of which was never seen: famine within plague, people put out by steel, crying to the great immortal God for relief.
Usually I’m nowhere near the playoffs. My last game of the year is usually at the end of the regular season in April.
I was brought up on a council estate in the countryside near Stoke Prior in Worcestershire, but I adored visiting the farm where my father worked.
When I’m near a native community, I visit it. If I hear there’s a spiritual person in the neighborhood, I’ll seek them out.
If someone said, ‘Think of a happy place for you,’ I’d say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.
I’m from Limburg, near the German border.
Stand not too near the rich man lest he destroy thee – and not too far away lest he forget thee.
