The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn.
I work out six days a week. I do pilates, Bikram yoga and spinning. Every once in awhile, I’ll throw weights in. I like to get some kind of cardio in every day, even if it’s just hiking.
Once you get a spice in your home, you have it forever. Women never throw out spices. The Egyptians were buried with their spices. I know which one I’m taking with me when I go.
I have had more honors than I’ve deserved and more rewards than I expected. It can be tempting just to say, ‘Well, I’m going to retire.’ But what would I do then? Sit in a chair and watch TV? Don’t let fulfillment throw away your tomorrow.

When you’re single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous.
Irregularity and want of method are only supportable in men of great learning or genius, who are often too full to be exact, and therefore they choose to throw down their pearls in heaps before the reader, rather than be at the pains of stringing them.
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
I’m not Yadier Molina behind the plate, but I can throw a ball to second on a rope.
Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks.

If you throw money around like confetti, it just becomes shallow and meaningless.
I want to make my fastball better. How do I high-grade my fastball to make it the best fastball in the league? I can only throw so hard. I’m close to my genetic ceiling on my velocity.
Javelin throw is a very technical event and a lot depends on the day’s form.
It’s like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don’t know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It’s like the throw of the dice.
But I’m the type of person who, whatever you throw at me, I can make something out of it.

I never knew how to throw a fastball, never learned how to throw a curveball, a slider, split-finger, whatever they’re throwing nowadays. I was a one-pitch pitcher.
I have a horrible sweet tooth. It’s gotten to the point where if I throw a cookie in the garbage, I have to douse it in Cascade. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I take it out and eat it?
I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around, but you don’t want a girl who’s too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I’m saying.
I’m pretty boring with pizza toppings. I only ever eat margherita. If it’s ever anything else then I’ll just go ‘mmm’, pretend to eat it, then throw it in the bin.

Because I’m not trying to throw people any curves.
Throwing on a black dress with black tights, cute booties, a great coat and throw a scarf over it. I think simple accessories and, if you want to make a pop, a great red lip.
My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcase and make sure they don’t press it, for Pete’s sake, so I can try to display some rumpled charm. Actually, I’m just a pig. I’ve got coffee stains on my pants. I think they’re coffee stains, anyway.
Idealists foolish enough to throw caution to the winds have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.
My hair is normally really unkempt – I’ll just use my sunglasses like a headband or throw on a felt cloche by Behida Dolic in windy weather.
The romantic person instinctively sees marriage in terms of emotions, but what a couple actually gets up to together over a lifetime has much more in common with the workings of a small business. They must draw up work rosters, clean, chauffeur, cook, fix, throw away, mind, hire, fire, reconcile, and budget.
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they’re no good. I don’t throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
We throw all our attention on the utterly idle question whether A has done as well as B, when the only question is whether A has done as well as he could.
If you’re at the Oscars, there’s not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. Most straight actors I know get quite used to it. Even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. They dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes – they know the tricks.
People will throw stones and hide their hands and then get back and play victim.
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don’t want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.
My indifference to money and my spendthrift ways are disgraceful. You have no idea how reckless I am; how often I practically throw money out of the window. I am always making good resolutions, but the next minute I forget and give the waiter eightpence.
Yeah, well, the F-bomb – it’s become as ubiquitous as the word ‘like.’ People just throw the word ‘like’ around as punctuation. And I think in a lot of everyday speech, the F-bomb has become a kind of dash or a comma.
I try to sing many different kinds of songs. If I sing a batch of humorous songs, I’ll throw in a deadly serious song. Or if I’m singing too many serious songs, I’ll throw in a ridiculous song, to mix it up.
Know that even when you want to give up or throw in the towel, in the end it will all be worth the hard work.
If I had my way everyone would have a psychiatrist. When the brain is sick and you must throw up, you do it by being purged in a psychiatrist’s office.
When we started, our style of music wasn’t on MTV. It wasn’t cool, and it wasn’t popular. The only bands who were even kind of similar were Blink-182 and Green Day. But we don’t sound like those bands, even if people throw us in that category now.
I am really into color and bright clothing. When I’m wearing heels, I always like to throw some different colors into my outfit, so it doesn’t match. That gives my look a retro and funky feel.
I don’t get surprised very often to be honest. I’m the kind of person who you couldn’t throw a surprise party for because I’d figure it out.
I always bring an orange scarf, not just so I can wear it or tuck it into my pocket, but also so I can throw it over a lamp in the hotel room. Orange is my favourite colour, and it gives a lovely, warm ambience.
My game is really played above time. I don’t say that like I’m saying I’m ahead of my time. I’m saying, like, if I’m on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I’ve thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that’s the right place to go to.
People love to throw stones at me, and I get it. It’s fun to make fun of me, because I put myself out there. I’m a large personality, and I got the funny bone; I voice my opinion, and then people get upset.
I feel confident imposing change on myself. It’s a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That’s why I need to throw curve balls.
If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own.

When you take something extremely broad, then it is not a work of expansion or work of compression. It’s hard because you have to decide what to throw out.
