Duke Quotes from:

Count Quotes
The Metropole Orchestra is like Count Basie or Duke Ellington with strings... it's strings that swing. Strings that swing like Dizzy Gillespie... keep swinging, baby. And when you have all of that special excellence of the Metropole Orchestra, then your music just flies - it soars in a way that's really magical.

Computer Quotes
I always knew I wanted to be a technologist, so I went to Duke and got a degree in computer science and electrical engineering. Really, I thought my goal in life was to be an inventor, a problem solver, so I thought I needed a Ph.D. to be good at inventions, but it turns out that you don't.

Among Quotes
Tarot cards likely originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century. The oldest surviving set, known as the Visconti-Sforza deck, was created for the Duke of Milan's family around 1440. The cards were used to play a bridge-like game known as tarocchi, popular at the time among nobles and other leisure lovers.

Amazing Quotes
For clothes, I like Anna on Regent's Park Road. Anna Park, who owns it, has an amazing eye for fresh, exciting clothes. I also love Arrogant Cat on Kensington Church Street. Space NK on Duke of York Square for exciting potions. I think I stretch the term 'tester' way beyond its boundaries.

Blue Quotes
Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship. Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and Team USA, led teams to each of these honors... within about 24 months.

Businesses Quotes
I've actually started a number of businesses in my career. So I'm 28 currently, but when I was about 16, I started building Websites, and that's how I put myself through school. I went to Duke with a degree in electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, and then to Princeton.

Asking Quotes
What we're envisioning now is developing a set of services that students, faculty and staff are asking for and that we can deliver efficiently. Bell Tower will serve as a blueprint for how to develop an infrastructure at Duke to support growth in emerging digital data, audio and video applications in new and existing buildings on campus.

Difficult Quotes
We have a young team this year and we're playing a difficult schedule. So I would say that I'm probably drawing from it even now, the things you have to do with a young team and how you have to handle them. That was an experience with that very young Duke team. As seniors, they made that first Final Four and the rest is history from there.
-
Defended Quotes
We had a very difficult time there toward the end of the game getting the right stops. I thought we played good enough defense for the most part, but you have to give Duke a lot of credit. When the game's on the line, they made some real tough shots that were very well defended and that's what great players will do.
-
Athletics Quotes
Several players who were present acknowledge, however, that they did hire private party dancers and that underage drinking occurred. The judgment of the team members to host and participate in this event is inconsistent with the values of Duke Athletics and Duke University and is unacceptable.
-
Asked Quotes
One thing about the NBA is that it's definitely not a faster pace. Duke has prepared me well. There's nothing here that I haven't seen already. It's not faster. If anything, it's a little slower with all the one-on-one play. I feel like I'm fitting in the grove well here. Again, I couldn't have asked for a better situation.
-
Academic Quotes
I am very excited about my decision to return to Duke to continue my academic and athletic career. I love the atmosphere at Duke and the support the university receives from the community. There is no place better to play college basketball. I am looking forward to working with the coaching staff to further develop my skills as a player. The relationships that I have in place here played a major role in my decision.
-
Bunch Quotes
I don't think it's likely that we'll get involved with a bunch of these kids. I don't think it's going to happen. I would tell you that in all honesty that any short-term gain that Virginia or any other college program might gain from having somebody come to their team, I would trade that in a heartbeat for Duke coming back as a strong lacrosse team next year.
-
Believed Quotes
It came down to Maryland, Harvard and Duke. Harvard for obvious reasons (it was her parents' first choice), Duke was a team that had not won a national title, but was already there (close to winning one). Maryland gave me a chance to do what nobody else in the country believed we could do. I like doing that, bursting people's expectations.
-
Cameron Quotes
I think Danny might be wrong thinking we'll have butterflies. I think we'll be so excited and so pumped up to play that I doubt there will be any butterflies. I don't know how he felt but going into Cameron Stadium (at Duke last Saturday) I didn't have any butterflies myself. I was so excited. I think the excitement factor will cancel it out.

Biggest Quotes
I sat down one day and thought about how crazy it was that two players from the same team, the same backcourt are going to the biggest rivalry in college basketball. It seems like just yesterday that we were just getting college letters. I never imagined it would come down to Duke and Carolina.

Anxious Quotes
Our staff and our team has waited for the opportunity to begin our 2006 journey since the moment we walked off the field in Princeton, N.J., following our loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's been difficult knowing that other teams have been preparing and practicing already, so we are anxious to start.

Conference Quotes
Our schedule allows us to play our traditional local rivals, as well as some national powers, before we get into the conference schedule, ... We travel to Duke and Virginia Tech, play a full slate at the Garden and play in the Holiday Festival. This will give St. John's fans a great opportunity to follow our team, which features a lot of new faces this year.
