I started off throwing out 'Artist.' I made that my first mixtape. Then, I threw out 'TBA,' which means 'To Be Announced.'
A Boogie wit da Hoodien
Growing up in Highbridge was real. Me and all my friends, we never really went to any other places in the Bronx but Highbridge. We always just stayed in Highbridge. It was like territory, to be honest, because Highbridge is like a town.
Even though I can't dance, that's, like, the one thing I wished I could do growing up. I used act like I was MJ, doing the moonwalk, tip toes, leg kick, all that.
I don't remember ever stealing things, but I suppose I was endlessly borrowing money off people.

No British TV company could ever make a series like 'The West Wing' about British politics. It would beggar credibility. No one could write it with a straight face, or perform it without giggling.
Because there is no better tool for writing than experience. It has very little to do with grammar and everything to do with knowing.
There's no pleasing the British, or winning their favor. They simply hate politicians. All politicians. Hatred goes with politicians like mint sauce with lamb. It's as old as Parliaments.
A lot of London's image never was. There never was a Dickensian London, or a Shakespearean London, or a swinging London.
Mr. Obama is the only popular politician left in the world. He would win an election in any one of the G-20 countries, and his fellow world leaders will do anything to take home a touch of that reflected popularity.
Is 'The Wind in the Willows' a children's book? Is 'Alice in Wonderland?' Is 'Treasure Island?' These are masterpieces which we read with pleasure as children, but with how much more pleasure when we are grown-up.

We're living with the Arabs; we have to understand them... Through knowing the Arabs, you know yourself better.
A. B. Yehoshua
Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

Chum was a British boy's weekly which, at the end of the year was bound into a single huge book; and the following Christmas parents bought it as Christmas presents for male children.
A. E. van Vogt
Behind the man is the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman; the serpent is twining round it.

There was a windstorm in L.A., and the morning after there was no smog, and I could see the mountains. And I was like... 'There's mountains? Snowcap mountains?' That's insane; I've been there for thirteen years, and I've never seen that view before, seeing the mountains in the distance.

I was what they call 'skinny fat' - a body that resembled a python after swallowing a goat.

There's a very passionate pro-chewing movement on the Internet called Chewdiasm. They say that we should be chewing 50 to 100 times per mouthful, which is insane. I tried that. It takes like a day and a half to eat a sandwich. But their basic idea is right. If you chew, you'll eat slower and you will get more nutrients.
The science of booby-trapping has taken a good deal of the fun out of following hot on the enemy's heels.

I'll sing outside your window. I'm as old fashioned as they come.

It seems astonishing to be paid for indulging in pure pleasure. For me to go to Coburg is rather as if a trainspotter was sent for a few weeks to Swindon or a chocoholic asked on holiday by Green and Black.
A. N. Wilson
I believe the collapse of the House of Windsor is tied in with the collapse of the Church of England.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
When you look at the light bulb above you, you remember Thomas Alva Edison. When the telephone bell rings, you remember Alexander Graham Bell. Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. When you see the blue sky, you think of Sir C.V. Raman.
I don't ever remember a single day of hopelessness. I knew from the history of the labor movement, especially of the black people, that it was an undertaking of great trial. That, live or die, I had to stick with it, and we had to win.
Negroes must be free in order to be equal, and they must be equal in order to be free... Men cannot win freedom unless they win equality. They cannot win equality unless they win freedom.
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions... Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father's death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn't an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past.
Cyclists. I really hate them. I wish they would not be so self-righteous and realise they are a danger to pedestrians. I wish cyclists would not vindictively snap off wing mirrors on cars when they were trying to cross in front of the car at a danger to motorists and pedestrians.
On buses and trains, I always think about the inexhaustible variety of human genes. We see types, and occasionally twins, but never doubles. All faces are unique, and this is exhilarating, despite the increasingly plastic similarity of TV stars and actors.
From the very beginning, we just sort of made things up together. That's one of the great things about having a twin brother; you have a sort of feedback loop, where you can bounce things off of each other.
Sometimes my brother and I - we're twins, and sometimes we joke that we're like a two-headed monster. We can be hard to deal with because we don't break ranks; we stick together.
I'm going to try and do my job and try to make as many plays as I can and help my team win.
I know you ain't gonna win every single one-on-one, but in my mind, I'm supposed to.
My main focus is playing football and giving it all I got. I'm trying to go out there and make plays and help my team win.
Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.
It's a lot more fun when you're winning than losing.
I'm just going out there and doing my job, so whatever it is - if it's a hard slide protection, if it's a double team, or even a triple team or a chip - whatever it is, I'm just finding ways to win, so that's about it.
When I have one-on-ones, I usually win those.
My main goal is trying to win the Super Bowl.
I'm just playing my game and trying to help my team win. Whatever happens, happens.
We just have to try to play ball. We go week-to-week trying to find ways to win games. That is what it comes down to.
It's what you work for and grind for. Just to get out there and play the game and try to help your team to win. And in doing that, you just help yourself.
As long as we're winning, I'm fine.
Any time you win you're going to be happy. But any time it's a great divisional opponent, when it's a usual dog fight, to come out on top at their house is a really good feeling.
You have guys that are all over the field that are making a lot of plays, you'll win a lot of games in the NFL.
That's my main goal: to win a world championship.
But I will say this: In my humble opinion, knowing nothing about it, I do believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that.
I've just got to go in there and get some quality at-bats and do my job and help the team win any way I can.
The big thing is, it's about learning which off-speed pitches to swing at. A lot of people say, 'Oh, this guy can't hit a curveball; this guy can't hit an off-speed pitch.' But it's about swinging at the right one. Swing at the hangers. Swing at the ones you can handle.
That's why we play. That's why we train. That's why we do everything in the offseason. It is to win a World Series.
