Seems Quotations | Page 7

I just find the people I want to work with and put it all together, and it's a lot of hard work, and all kinds of catastrophes happen, but I don't really get too much resistance. But when you make a movie, it seems like there's nothing but resistance. It's kind of a miracle that any movie ever gets made.

Even the greatest poets, I think, cannot quite get to the places that music can get to in the human - I was gonna say mind, but it's actually the entire body. It somehow seems to infuse the entire body.

What an encouraging thought that Jesus - our beloved Husband - can find comfort in our lowly feeble gifts! Can this be, for it seems far too good to be true? May we then be willing to endure trials or even death itself if through these hardships we are assisted in bringing gladness to Immanuel's heart.

Nothing is more dangerous to one's own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

Europeans don't seem to have the groupie mentality.

His resolve is not to seem the bravest, but to be.

Obama seems like he tries to talk everyone into what he believes - and that's part of why we elected him, because he's a calm, reasonable guy - but behind that, there has to be some fight. You have to be able to take a few punches and throw a few punches.

I started with Apple, in a pre-Windows era when PCs seemed to involve more of a learning curve. But the fact that I'm yet to acquire so much as a single virus still seems a very good thing.

If waterboarding's OK, why don't we let our police do it to suspects so we can learn what they know? We only seem to waterboard Muslims... Have we waterboarded anyone else?

If a thing seems to you worth working for at all, if it appears to you of moment enough to challenge any effort, then put into what you do all the enthusiasm of which you are capable, regardless of criticism.

The disappointing second novel is measured against the brilliant first novel - often no novel lives up to the first. Literary improvement seems like an unfair expectation.

To have a great man for a friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.

Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.

Penetrating a company's security often starts with the bad guy obtaining some piece of information that seems so innocent, so everyday and unimportant, that most people in the organization don't see any reason why the item should be protected and restricted.

I think writing is really about a journey of understanding. So you take something that seems very far away, and the more you write about it, the more you travel into it, and you see it from within.

In elections in Iceland, I have always been an abstainer. It seems like politics is such a small bundle of self-important people, who don't have much to do with things I'm interested in.

Because everyone is someone's child, every woman seems like someone's mother.

In the experience of art, time seems not to exist.

The conflation of the simple in style with the morally prescriptive in character, and the complex in style with the amoral or anarchic in character, seems to me one of the most persistently fallacious beliefs held by English students.

I've never been able to witness the birth of an idea. It seems as if one second, there's nothing particularly going on, and the next second, something is there. It's coming up out of my unconscious, up from places that I don't even know where they are.

Once somebody is known, it seems as though anybody anywhere can say anything about them. Whereas if I simply stopped someone in the street and criticised their clothes, their work, their parents, their inner being, I'd be sued and I'd be thrown in prison.

It seems to me that we often commit ourselves wholly to something while knowing almost nothing concrete about it. Another word for that, I suppose, is 'faith.'

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Even when the writing seems very frivolous, I'm puritanical. I don't mean my subject matter. It's that I'm almost pathologically incapable of leaving something when I'm not quite happy with it.

I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.

In retrospect, the political and cultural climate in the early '60s seems both a time of innocence and also like a sultry, still summer day in the Midwest: an unsettling calm before a ferocious storm over Vietnam, which was not yet an American war.

It seems the only way to gain attention today is to organize a march and protest something.

I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say, 'Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.'

A talib fires three shots at point-blank range at three girls in a van and doesn't kill any of them. This seems an unlikely story.

When I was young, people lived from paycheck to paycheck. Today, it seems like they live from credit card payment to credit card payment.

When accepting a responsibility, imagine that it's something that you'll have to do next week. That way you don't agree to something just because it seems so far off that it doesn't seem onerous.

In my father's generation, the product was 80 percent of what you were putting into the world, and your personal life was 20 percent. It now seems that 80 percent of the product I put out is silly, made-up stories and what I'm wearing.

I would not want to be Richard Simmons... right now or anytime. He seems like a nice guy, but if I had to dress like that? That would absolutely suck.

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

It just seems there's better things to do in your life than be on television if it's not interesting, if it's not challenging, if it's not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I'll stop making television.

I meet young people who know me and are familiar with my stuff. They know the package. They might have cherry-picked five or six key tunes. That's how it seems to work. I sometimes wonder if they realise they are not getting the whole context.

Teaching sometimes seems like not one profession, but every profession. We ask them to be doctor and diplomat, calf-herder, map-maker, wizard and watchman, electricians of the mind.

Our minds work in real time, which begins at the Big Bang and will end, if there is a Big Crunch - which seems unlikely, now, from the latest data showing accelerating expansion. Consciousness would come to an end at a singularity.

To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I'm working on the foundation.

What is enthusiasm but a passionate belief in what seems to be a high and holy aim - an unselfish devotion to some noble cause - a consecration of heart and mind and soul to the attainment of a great object?

Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

'Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.

I was born in 1962, and it seems that throughout my entire life the world has demanded peace but maintained conflict.

The way I run my business seems to be easier than the way I run my life.

Rahm Emanuel seems to think he knows Israel very well, and that the way to treat that country and its democratically-elected government is the way he treats all opponents in politics: by attacking and attacking.

The speed of change today is faster than the human psyche seems able to handle, and it's increasingly difficult to reconcile the rhythms of our personal lives with the rapidity of a twenty-four-hour news cycle.

The power behind this rally seems to be unstoppable, notwithstanding the concerns about a slowing economy because of the rate rise. We don't see any signs of that.

The performances of the different offices are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In Fresno County we have what seems to be a near abdication of their responsibilities, whereas in Alameda County we see an office committed to protecting all residents in the county.

The online advertising market still seems to be struggling. It's difficult to look at that and see substantial near-term growth.

We are seeing a very resilient economy and one that seems to be growing in every part of the world. Just about every region is growing and it's very encouraging.

We started slow again tonight, and I don't like that very much. It seems that our intensity doesn't pick up until our backs are to the wall, but this team continues to respond when that happens.

We started practicing the drop kick and I thought, with anybody else, you've got to be crazy. But everything he touches seems to turn up roses.

We studied different countries around the world that are representative of different situations and took a look at where they'd end up. One thing that happens right away, which nobody seems to have thought of, is that the total global population increases dramatically. From an original projection of 8 billion we end up topping out at 10 to 11 billion. In many countries, this would have an enormous, and not necessarily positive, impact. For example, the idea that China would go from 1.5 to 1.8 billion, just because of this, is a bit frightening.

We believe that the accounting seems to proper and the company reports that it has been reviewed and approved by its auditors.

There are certain inventory concerns out there. But the situation seems to be under control.

There are some concerns that stock prices may be too high, and that seems to be weighing on the market.

We stood on the tee and I told Suzann, 'We can turn this around and be 1-up,' ... After that, it seems like we took air out of the team.

West Memphis is always among the top three or four teams in the state every year. It seems like they never have to rebuild.

We're in a situation where we just can't stop the bleeding. We keep trying to put band-aids on the wound, but nothing seems to help.

We're in an almost perfect environment: low inflation, strong corporate profits and a benign Fed. It certainly seems that the Dow can continue to make new highs.

Where they make phone calls and whether the president raises money or not is one thing. The way they've done it seems to be unethical, illegal, (and) in poor taste, ... Were foreign influences trying to influence the election?

Where it seems to me we're heading is real transformational change in assessment practices, ... If we get this to work right, it would be about maintaining accurate property values, not an excuse to raise taxes.

When you talk to Iranians, there seems to be a consensus that Iran needs to have a latent nuclear weapons capability; in other words, an option, ... But there is much less agreement about whether it makes sense for Iran to produce nuclear weapons.

When you stop thinking about something, the idea comes to you. It seems to work.

There is no question that we've entered a new era. The question seems to be how long it will continue, and the jury is still out on that one.

Unusually for social housing of this type, there is nothing institutional about the feel of this building. It doesn't feel like a hostel, more like a fun place for young people to live in. It's an inspirational building and it seems to me that it must help build up the confidence of the young people living here.

Whether things really change year-to-year in golf, it's sort of a yes and no answer. I mean, there always seems to be something that gets a lot of buzz. But as with the big heads of the last few years, some golfers found that it was more like trying to swing a sledgehammer. They just couldn't get used to the size, so they decided to go a different route. Then again, you still have some companies pushing boundaries when it comes to how big the head can be. It's whatever you feel comfortable with.

Whether Rebus's 'skills' are ones his bosses would wish retained is a moot point, but it seems I have my 'get-in' clause should I need one.

Whether people believe his predictions or not everyone seems to look to the groundhog to predict some kind of relief in the midst of winter. With all the erratic weather we've experienced so far across the United States this winter we thought our players might enjoy a chance to have some fun with it.

Watching something on your cell phone seems like crazy talk to me.

Watching Gilmer play, they're very athletic and very big. Just like every team we play, it seems like (the other team) always plays at another level.

When it comes down to it, it seems like we are putting too much pressure on ourselves. As a shooter, you have to stay confident. It's all mental when it comes to our shooting.

We're starting to find a way to win by finding a way to get on base however possible. Sometimes it seems like we find a way to try to lose and we need to overcome that.

We're going to point her towards that race again, and we need to get a couple races in her - this seems like a good place to start.

We're going to go and play the songs one more time. It seems like the right time, so I figure we'll go out and play a few gigs and see where it goes. I think we might just show up in assorted places in the U.S. in the next few months without much notice and play some clubs and little theaters, and then go to Europe and play these festival gigs. Beyond that, we don't know at this point.

We're going to do what we've been doing all year. It seems to be working fine.

What we're seeing is an increase in the manufacturing sector, ... The manufacturing sector has been very weak for the last year and a half -- since the Asian (financial) crisis. Now, that sector seems to be recovering.

When we do our pre-game talk, we talk about certain people not liking pressure. But it seems like none of their players likes pressure. We tried to jump on that, totally, because that got our defense going. And we knew that if we kept pounding them and pounding them ? not just stealing the ball but just getting stops ? that would frustrate them.

What his research seems to be saying is that women are the laughers and men get the laughs.

What he seems to be saying to me now is the president failed to discipline the process the way he should have and that the president is ultimately responsible for this whole mess.

What he did today with the wind blowing out here and against that lineup, that's pretty incredible. He keeps everybody off balance and it seems like we play really well behind him.

What has the federal government been doing all these years to prepare for a disaster striking a major American city, ... With all the bureaucratic federal agencies, super czars and homeland preparedness, there seems to be no national or regional master plan to evacuate people, bring in relief and adequately deal with a large scale emergency of this nature. Is there a plan in place for how to deal with the profiteers when the resettling and rebuilding begins? Is there a plan to freeze oil prices?

What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end

We felt like we had the game in hand and we settled down a bit. It always seems with Colgate that we get to a big lead and then we let them back in. That team never gives up.

We break it down in terms of value for money, product quality and service quality. For virtually all of these retailers, with the exception of Wal-Mart, it is really the service quality that seems to be driving the satisfaction.

What's remarkable here is this process of planet formation, which we associate with the birth of stars, seems to also be able to occur at the end of the stellar lifetime, sort of a renaissance of the system, in some sense.

What's really interesting is that most online retailers have forward integration, whereas this seems like a backwards integration play. Barnes & Noble already has a direct relationship with the customer and now they're trying to get further into the supply chain,

We're going to meet Friday, I'm going to sleep on it, and make a decision on Saturday. Coach (Sampson) seems like a good dude, and he's a proven winner, but at the end of the day it's going to come down to whether I feel comfortable with he and his coaching staff.

We're going to keep bargaining down to the very last minute, but it seems increasingly unlikely that we'll reach a deal.

We're going to have to shoot the ball well. Everybody says that; nobody seems to be able to do it against that tough defense. We're going to have to knock some threes down and really make them score in the half-court. They do a great job scoring in transition.

We're keeping a very close eye on it, but at this point, nothing seems to point to the need for a state response.

Unless President Bush is coming to California to hand over a check from the federal government to help us with the financial challenges we face, the visit seems ill-timed.

Unless he wants to make Portland the sixth borough, this seems to be the opposite of bringing jobs to middle-class New Yorkers,

Unfortunately, it seems like we have a couple every year.

Unfortunately, it seems like there are always winners and losers with this kind of decision. They'll probably write letters to the editor, tell us how stupid we are, and tell us we don't listen to the public.

Unfortunately, it seems like a possibility that 'Crash' will win, given the campaign that Lions Gate has put out, with all those DVDs sent to voters.

Usually in these cases, there's always two sides to it. In this case there seems to be one thing the government can do and that's to let him finish high school. I don't think what we're asking for is unreasonable.

Yen buying seems to be stalling after an initial round of optimism about the Sept. 11 election receded.

With the increase in guidance and a very strong quarter under its belt, valuation becomes less of an issue, but it doesn't mean that it's off the table. The valuation seems full,

With the improvement of our team over the last couple of years, hopefully there's renewed interest in this market, ... I believe that there's also a common thread now with ownership being Robert Sarver, (his) having grown up here and having gone to the university. It seems to make a lot of sense that the organization has a relationship not only with the university but the city of Tucson.
