The tail of the comet always points straight away from the sun, in antisolar direction. Sometimes the tail trails behind, but sometimes it’s perpendicular, and sometimes it’s ahead of the comet like a headlight on a railroad locomotive.
I am tolerant. I want to understand other points of view.
The cool thing about designers is they have very specific points of view, and because my inspiration is always changing, it’s easy to go, ‘This feels right.’ But just because I wear fancy dresses on weekends doesn’t mean in my heart of hearts I’m not a jeans and T-shirt person.
For me, it’s about winning games. I’m trying to score more points than the other team. I don’t really care how we do it.
This is a tough business, and you’re asked to do a job. And part of doing that job is to rate and to do well and to perform, and at certain points, when people are unable to do the job they’re hired to do, what happens is people are let go. Their contract is not renewed.
I need to be more cautious while determining which points in the match I have to focus and how I can win break points in a more assured manner.
What we had on was BBC Asian Network and Bollywood sound-tracks – they were my reference points. But of course, where I grew up, I was one of two Indian guys in my school, and I didn’t really have anyone else to share that with.
I mean, I got reelected in 2016. Donald Trump took Montana by 20 points. I won by four. Twenty-five to 30% of my voters voted for Donald Trump. And that’s not, for me, changing who I am.
I like to bitch and moan about lawyers, but they often have actually good points.
When I had decided to become an actor, I did a lot of soul-searching to figure out how I could be different. What could I bring to the table that others or my father couldn’t have? That’s when I worked on my strong points, namely action and dancing.
20 or 30 exclamation points can go a long way to making the tone of your email excited and cheerful.
The day is not far distant when three Stars and Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal, and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally.
Life certainly points it out to you – ‘you can go this way or the other way.’ You have to decide and it’s a very strong decision because, would you sleep well knowing that you’re living in the best place, but you’re letting the place where you should live alone?
The people that really inspired me are the people I have now managed to become contemporaries with, like Four Tet and Floating Points. I learn so much about music just from hanging around with them.
I’d never really been in a series, where you see a man at different points and perspectives in his life. Usually it’s a film, where I’m playing a character who just comes in and offers something up.
Somewhere in your house is a game that could use a good beating. Pick it up. Play to the end. Get all the achievements/trophies out of it. So you’ve maxed out all your points. Play it again at a harder difficulty. Do something. It’s startling the number of games people own but haven’t beaten for one reason or another.
If I hadn’t won at the Worlds and claimed so many ranking points, I would have been struggling for Rio. I’m in a good place now, though, and having the chance to fight for gold in Rio after everything I’ve been through would be a dream.
I have pride, and my pride won’t allow me to accept losing by 30 points four games in a row.
I can’t make pronouncements about the entirety of Iranian cinema, because there’s such a great number of filmmakers and because of the diversity of points of view and filmmaking attitudes.
We must go to the pitch without any fear. We have to try to compete for three points against every opponent. To do that, we must have courage and be strong.
Recreational shopping is the shortest distance between two points: you and broke.
Despite a good season and 22 points, I’ll not drive any more for Toro Rosso in 2015.
It seems as if everybody in the country was getting impatient to get his or her particular soldier out of the Army and to upset the carefully arranged system of points for retirement which we had arranged with the approval of the Army itself.
Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.
I’ve learned that I can be calm during important points.
At home is where you have to be stronger and get more points and make the other team feel uncomfortable.
The beauty of a finely worked object points to the beauty of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the craftsmanship points to the beauty of the name which was the source of the craftsmanship. The beauty of the name of the craftsman’s art points to the beauty of the craftsman’s attributes manifested in that art.
By the time Sonic Youth formed in 1981, my musical tastes had left the Dead behind, but I was always very proud of the fact that we had three different singers singing individually from different points of view, like the Dead.
Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.
My big objective this season is to win three gold medals at the Olympics, in the road race, the time trial and the points race.
When you get to Heaven, God points you to the all-Entenmann’s craft service and says, ‘You can eat all you want, and you don’t gain any weight.’
The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.
It is not enough for us to merely continue to talk about and contribute to the echo chamber of white noise of what’s wrong with America or for candidates to spout off silly poll-tested talking points about national security or foreign policy.
You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I’m not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can’t come back.
I really think that music itself, being one of the greatest possible vehicles for mass communication, should be probed to its extremes, to see how effective it can actually become, which is one of the reasons why I became also interested in presenting political points of view.
A long time ago, I watched President Reagan repeat a few simple points about the benefits for everyone of lower taxes, light regulations, and limited government. Successful policies are sold by repetition, not unrelated tangents.
I think that some of the earliest ideas in the modern period were actually from astronomy. You look at Galileo: He goes up and points his telescope up at Jupiter and finds out, hey, Jupiter has these moons.
Snowden and NSA leaders should be brought together face-to-face for questioning in public by a congressional investigatory committee, with both parties allowed to make their points and to counter the assertions of the other. If Snowden is lying, it will come out. If the NSA is lying, it will come out.
If Scott Brown can win in a state that President Obama won by 26 points, I can win in a district that Obey won by just 20 points against an unknown, underfunded challenger in the Democratic landslide of 2008. It means there is not a single Democrat in the country who is safe.
One of the U.S. Soccer Federation’s points is that it’s an honour and a privilege to to play for this country, and it is. But we also represent the entire country, and the idea of liberty and justice isn’t afforded to everyone.
If giving points to some students to achieve greater diversity is a quota system in violation of the Constitution, how can the awarding of points to the children of a less diverse alumni be upheld?
Our goal is to focus on the unique points of view of our show creators but make shows that have broad appeal.
Setting points targets is sometimes the worst thing you can do – it puts pressure on.
Election losses are always an inkblot test for partisans. If a candidate’s defeat has no clear and obvious cause, if the data points are all over the map, it is easy for those on the sidelines to claim, ‘Candidate X would have won if only he or she had been more like… me.’
The Black Lives Matter National Network and the movement at large are sophisticated. We’re not easily won over by talking points and campaign trail pledges. We want to see meaningful collaboration and a genuine transformation of American democracy.
Amalur’s user interface is designed much like a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, liberally sprinkling yellow exclamation points and markers all over your mini-map in order to show you where to quest next.
Being a Jew is like walking in the wind or swimming: you are touched at all points and conscious everywhere.
There is no reason why agreement on particular points should not be both possible and advantageous to the so-called neutrals and to one or more of the blocs, either existing or in the process of formation, within the League of Nations.
