Boy Quotations | Page 2

Muddy Waters, I suppose, was my first great hero. You know, every boy wants to be a guitar player, and Muddy Waters was just the king. He was the King Bee. He was it.

Once upon a time, they thought I was a sweet, wide-eyed boy that was just trying to figure out how to kiss the girl. Lots of comic relief and adolescent yearnings.

I'm a fan boy when it comes to Michael Buble. He's just so good at 'it'. He's got a voice of this generation, but he's like a time capsule; he's got a voice that could have fit in anywhere over the last hundred years. It's stellar.

No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.

When I was a boy in Desuq, Egypt, a city on the Rosetta branch of the Nile, about 50 miles east of Alexandria, my family lived steps away from the local landmark, a mosque named for a 13th-century Sufi sheik.

We are all busy. It's easy to find excuses for not reaching out to others, but I imagine they will sound as hollow to our Heavenly Father as the elementary school boy who gave his teacher a note asking that he be excused from school March 30th through the 34th.

Islam tells us every girl and boy should be educated. I don't know why the Taliban have forgotten it.

I came across few whites as a boy at Qunu. The local magistrate, of course, was white, as was the nearest shopkeeper. Occasionally, white travelers or policemen passed through our area. These whites appeared as grand as gods to me, and I was aware that they were to be treated with a mixture of fear and respect.

I dread handshakes. I've got some problems with my hands, and everywhere I go, people want to impress me with their grip. To make it worse, now women are coming up with that firm shake. So I'll say, 'Gimme five!' If a boy wants a handshake, I'll just give him a hug.

At the beginning when the child is coming, people worry the child may be deformed. When a healthy boy or child comes, people are very happy for a short moment.

For those that don't know, my sister was born with Down Syndrome, and she was institutionalized in the very early sixties. Me, being just a small boy and being shuffled around between my mother and grandparents, I never knew her.

Circumstances have rarely favored great men. A lowly beginning is no bar to a great career. The boy who works his way through college may have a hard time of it, but he will learn how to work his way in life, and will usually take higher rank in school and in after life than his classmate who is the son of a millionaire.

In 'Huckleberry Finn,' I have drawn Tom Blankenship exactly as he was. He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had.

Born of a noble father and a saintly mother, President Hinckley learned as a young boy the truths of the restored gospel from his faithful parents. He came to respect deeply and value highly his pioneer heritage.

The point of all that is, they still decline to turn over the boy to his father. We could go to Miami and knock on the door and we could come out without the boy. That's unacceptable to us. The central issue is whether this boy is going to be restored to his father,

We believe that the boy contracted the virus from his surroundings because, although his family does not raise chickens, there are chickens raised in his neighborhood.

We're going to go with a four-guard offense and boy are they fast.

We've recovered a hat and a sneaker identified as that of the individual we're looking for, ... The boy has not been found as of yet.

What's intriguing is that part of the new masculinity, or M-ness, is man's recognition that he needs a woman. This realization comes, ironically, during the Era of Female Independence, a time when man can be replaced by boy toys, female lovers, abstinence, and even vibrators, ... Whereas men still need women, their traditional source of comfort and inspiration, women are increasingly less likely to feel the same about men. And that's changing everything about the rules of the game.

When I was a little kid growing up in Iceland, I always dreamed about creating something that could have an impact on the whole world, and even as a young boy I was passionate about fitness and sports.

Way before it was popular, he said that I could go far in this business. He kept saying I'd be president and then I said I'd be state president. He encouraged me, and I never thought that I, a little boy from Brooklyn, New York, could do those things. Mel was always ahead of the curve.

We'd go down to the rink and work out in the morning and have lunch and talk a lot about the team, ... We played a lot of golf. Tony's and my sons were on the same team and we helped coach them. We also helped coach Tony's boy on his high school team, so we were around the rink a lot.

There is a real danger here that this can become a political issue, that this young boy will be a political football. And I think the president has made it very clear to everyone that they ought to stay away from politics here and stick to what the facts and the law dictate.

We tried our best for the longest time to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the matter, and at each step, we were thwarted by those that said, No, we will not turn the boy over to his father.

We really haven't shot the ball well since our conference tournament final. We've been playing good defense. We knew it was going to come and boy they stroked it tonight. When we're filling it up we're tough to beat.

We really don't know why young men like Kevin are taken from us. I certainly don't have a satisfactory answer as to how this could have happened to a boy with no prior health problems.

We're as upset about the high price of gasoline as the customers are. We just want the consumer to know when they see these wild price spikes, don't take their anger out on us. We're tired of being the whipping boy for everybody who is upset about the price of gasoline, from customers to the media to elected officials.

We're approval junkies. We're all in it for the slap on the back and the gold watch. The hip-hip-hoo-f**kin' rah. Look at the clever boy with the badge, polishing his trophy. Shine on you crazy diamond, because we're just monkeys wrapped in suits, begging for the approval of others.

Yes, it was a boy band. Everything, they tell you what to do.

There is a little 6-year-old boy who survived one of the most traumatic events that any child could experience -- to lose his mother there in the Gulf Stream, to float for as long as he did, and live to come ashore under the circumstances that he did. We've just got to think about that little boy,

When I was 11 or 12 - a young boy in Japan - one of my older brothers took me to a sushi restaurant. I had never been to one, and it was very memorable. Back then, sushi was expensive and hard to come by, not like today, when there's a sushi restaurant on every street corner and you can buy it in supermarkets.

We set up a good shot for him, he just didn't have any legs. The ball hit the rim and I just think the boy was tired.

When you beat a dog again and again and again, do you really expect it's never going to bite back? This boy never had a chance, he never had a childhood, he never had a family to love him. This jury could have given that to him, and I now I fear he'll never have any of that.

When we set out to create this fragrance, I wanted to revolutionize this industry. I wanted to create a scent, package it and promote it in a way that has never been seen before. I drew upon my experience as a fashion designer and a recording artist and launched Unforgivable like an album ... and we have hit number one! I am a boy from Harlem and to have this kind of success right out of the box is truly beyond my wildest dreams.

Let's say she's a 15-year-old boy playing in men's tournaments, in the Amateur Public Links and winning these matches, or coming within strokes of missing the cut in a PGA tournament. When I was 17 I couldn't come close to making a cut, and at the time I was doing very well in junior golf. I just can't believe any 15 year old, especially a young girl, could be doing what she's doing. I can't fathom it. It's just amazing.

Let's say a young boy is going for a CAT scan. First, he gets to preview various animation themes. He chooses his favorite and takes a holographic RFID badge with a Philips ICODE chip. When he goes into the examination room, he waves the badge at the scanning equipment, and the walls and ceiling come to life with animations, accompanied by music and other sounds. It keeps him relaxed and it's a great way to give him instructions. When it's time for him to hold his breath, he sees a cartoon character holding his own breath!

Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order.

'Lean on Pete' is the story of a boy and his horse, but it is never heart-warming - it ranges in tone from desperate to merely painful - and, while fascinating, it is never entertaining or redemptive. But if you want an unadorned portrait of American life (at least in some places) at the beginning of the 21st century, this is the book for you.

Send Bush here and we'll make him a po' boy and tell him to leave us alone,

So, for example, I produced a layer of sounds with the syllables sung by a young boy and elements from an impulse generator with filtered noises.

She's just an average teenager. She was an honor roll student but lately she's been in the boy world and her grades started dropping. Just stuff girls do.

She saw it and thought that they made the statue for a little boy who might have died. So she wanted to give him a hug.

She said that he picked up her son and threw him on the floor. He said that the little boy had fell off the couch, but that she had threw his little girl.

She has been the person keeping the Boy Choir alive ... apart from the fundraising the boys have been doing, the concert revenues and whatever else has been brought in. She's a good guy.

Sincere regret may be a faculty for paying attention to the future, for sensing a new tide where we missed a previous one, for experiencing timelessness with a grandchild where we neglected a boy of our own.

My introduction to the Madonna Inn came as a young boy when we would take summer vacations to a nearby town. My dad would take us into their gift shop bathroom, which was a huge waterfall that functioned as the men's urinal. So as a kid, this was the most amazing thing I had ever seen.

My friends say I am a country boy wannabe, so I must admit that it's been a transition.

One little boy came in with a dollar to buy a snack, and he asked about Paul. When we told him what had happened, he put his 35 cents change into the jar. That's how Paul affects people.

One firefighter carried one little boy down through the interior stairway and the other boy was taken out of a window and taken down to the ground by ladder.

Obviously, we didn't do very well with the big boy last year. We're certainly going to have more emphasis - not that we didn't last year - but we're going to make sure our kids are surrounding him and try to make somebody else beat us.

Odell is a poster boy for what our business is all about.

My experience in About a Boy probably did change me, but you change so much between 11 and 15 that's it's hard to know what had an effect on me directly,

My father was a vaudevillian, and my mother was principal boy in pantomime among other things such as light musical comedy.

My father imposed me, obliged me to follow in the family business. Possibly because there was a strong idea that the boy in the family or one of the boys in the family had to follow the family into business.

No, I have no problem with their management. After we did the first show in Boston, I had an email from Rod Smallwood saying that Bruce was concerned that the front rows of the audience weren't really MAIDEN fans and so I kept a couple of rows of seats clear every night so that we could bring in MAIDEN fans in MAIDEN T-shirts to make the band feel comfortable. I was the mug who did this for four weeks. And then this is how Monkey Boy repays me.

Next to God I worship my wife and boy and will soon be with them and with my father and mother, who are there waiting my coming.

Right at the beginning, I didn't know if Miffy was a boy or girl.

Rick Rubin's undulating face hair is just as famous as his body of work. In homage to the yogis he read about as a boy on Long Island, Rubin hasn't shaved since he was 23. It's long been his registered trademark.

Richard wanted me to play him aged 11 and 15, but as soon as he saw how tall I'd grown - I'm six foot two - he had a rethink and cast another boy as his younger self.

Pepe has an advantage because the team in front of him in defense are working so hard to restrict the chances we concede. The back four have been outstanding. They are organized and have better concentration than last season. But he is also an intelligent boy and he thinks hard about what he has to do in England.

People who agree with the Boy Scouts - they can do that. And they can take the fork in the road that goes down toward being a strictly private organization. Why can't one of these clubs that discriminate against women or gays or atheists be a club? But don't expect to have your meetings on government property, for instance. That's the distinction here.

Plot is a framework on which to drape other things. So once that's working, I can just let it go and do all the stuff that I love - 'Trojan horse' it. There are so many great YA heroines, and that's fantastic, but what about the emotionally complex boy out there? That's who I tend to write about.

One thing I noticed when I moved to America, people don't really know about me, so a lot of them question why I look like a boy or dress like a boy, or why I didn't have longer hair, or what's with the tattoos.

I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year's. My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friend's two little boys. They were going around the bedrooms opening the doors and looking in. When they got to our door, one little boy went to open it and the other said, 'No! Don?t open that door. The princess is sleeping in there.' It made my heart leap out of my chest. I think that was the first time I really realized the impact these films had on people.

I was ten and a half and my mother saw this little thing in Variety that said they were looking for an Indian boy for The NeverEnding Story.

I would rather put a phial of prussic acid in the hands of a healthy boy or girl than the book in question.

I got out of my chair and waded into the water, which was about three feet deep. I rolled him over and he was unconscious, his lips had a purple tint. He wasn't breathing. I picked the boy up in my arms and whistled for assistance.

I go to the gym in a baseball cap, sweats and then run into a boy I like. It happens - so what?

I don't hate on any artist actually, not on boy bands, on nothing, it's just music and if you enjoy it then enjoy it. I just have my own opinion of what I like and so should everybody else. I don't try and make everybody else believe in my opinion, everybody's born differently you know, God created us all different.

I don't have the dance background like Stacy, who studied ballet, or Drew, who was in a boy band.

I did read Sherlock Holmes as a boy but I never thought for a moment that I'd ever write about Doyle,

I don't even want to think about that now. I've had 22 training - some very lucky boy is going to get a run.

I don't feel that other boy meant for it to happen. I'm not happy with the fact he brought the gun over and they decided to pull a scare routine.

I did want a boy child because I had this romantic idea that a boy child when he's 16 takes his mother out for dinner.

I don't know what they are playing at. They are just making the boy unsettled, and they keep upsetting him. I find Bolton's behavior and what they are doing scandalous. They should stop messing around. The situation is becoming a bit annoying.

I created the title, masthead, the format and concept, as well as the Batman figure and costume. Robin, the boy wonder, was also my idea.
