I have a bony face – I feel like my skin’s been stretched over my skull.
You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.
When I was young, summers stretched so long, as if they’d never end. Days were like marathons of time, riding bikes until my blisters had blisters, endless energy, and not an actual care in the world aside from when ‘Paul’ could come out and play. Days now feel more like minutes, almost game show like.
I have to be stretched in some way. There’s not enough things that come my way that I fancy.
The enormous lake stretched flat and smooth and white all the way to the edge of the gray sky. Wagon tracks went away across it, so far that you could not see where they went; they ended in nothing at all.
There’s a very fine line between martial arts and dance. Kicking with your foot stretched out, or kicking with your foot flat in someone’s face, in terms of flexibility, it’s all kind of the same thing.
For me, a big thing, because I have really long legs, is core stability. It’s very important not only for injury but also just to be able to carry my weight around properly and not feel like I’m collapsing in specific situations when I’m stretched out too far.
I grew up with my parents screaming and yelling at each other for the rent in Bronx, New York City at the time. It was $36. So my mind hadn’t stretched out to that place where I could spend a whole month’s rent on a 45-minute plane flight to Fargo, N.D.
In my dreams and visions, I seemed to see a line, and on the other side of that line were green fields, and lovely flowers, and beautiful white ladies, who stretched out their arms to me over the line, but I couldn’t reach them no-how. I always fell before I got to the line.

Having stretched the boundaries some, I’m perfectly content now to work within them. ‘Doonesbury’ doesn’t need to become ‘South Park.’ You won’t ever see any singing turds.
I have great mood swings, maybe because of playing lots of different characters as I do. I’m like a gymnast whose muscles get too stretched. I’ve got better at it, but I have a lot of emotional energy.
Mugabe had a very strange quality about him. He was dapper. He had the strangest skin – it looks very shiny, but it’s not oily. It’s stretched very finely over his flesh. His eyes have layers of cyan crystals in them. It was a quiet, dark moment when I took his picture.
The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

Now there was no wonder in the Statue of Liberty illusion because he, Copperfield, attempted to do something so large that it stretched the credibility of the audience to the point where most people didn’t believe any of it anymore.

Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.
I have never begun a novel which wasn’t going to stretch me further than I had ever stretched before.
Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.

Alleged ‘impossibilities’ are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.
The Opera House guidelines have from time to time been amended, whether it’s for other sporting events or other causes. The guidelines have always been stretched in the part and the commercialisation of the Opera House has always been there.
I’m comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it’s stretched. Ha ha.
Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water.
The kimono, haori, and girdle, and even the long hanging sleeves, have only parallel seams, and these are only tacked or basted, as the garments, when washed, are taken to pieces, and each piece, after being very slightly stiffened, is stretched upon a board to dry.
