Ability Quotes
Robert adds another offensive dimension for us. I like our forwards a lot, but I would consider Robert -- even though he's just 20 years ago and still developing -- as gifted a playmaker as anyone on our team. He opened the eyes of a lot of people at the World Junior Championships. We have monitored his progress closely and feel Robert has the physical ability to make the jump right into the NHL.

Animal Quotes
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

Athlete Quotes
We have wanted Katie at Quinnipiac since the moment we saw her compete in her junior year at the National Futures tournament. She is really a truly gifted athlete and we would like to see her in our line-up early and often next season. With her presence in the backfield she could be a trusted player as a freshman to help funnel our team's defensive successes.

Few Quotes
When you have a pitcher as gifted as Tyler, you've got to like your chances. He throws strikes, he hits the corners, he's just a special pitcher. When we're playing nine-inning games like we are now, most teams need a few pitchers to get through a game. Tyler is very efficient, so he can finish it off himself.
-
Among Quotes
Throughout the season, Matt's been able to play at a very high level. It's not often that a defenseman is able to be among the top scorers in the league. That tells you how gifted he is offensively. He also is our No. 1 guy matching up with other team's top line. He's extremely valuable to us. Out of all the teams we played, I don't recall seeing a defenseman on the ice better than Matt.

Attract Quotes
Big Media does not know how to innovate, ... What capacity for product development do news organizations show? Zip. How are they on nurturing innovation? Terrible. Is there an entrepreneurial spirit in newsrooms? No. Do smart young people ever come in and overturn everything? Never. Do these firms attract designers and geeks who are gifted with technology? They don't, because they don't do anything challenging enough. They don't innovate, or pay well. So they can't compete.
-
Along Quotes
Crystal is a wonderful athlete that is gifted with speed, a tenacious attitude and a tremendous passion for the game. She is a quality defender who also possesses the mindset to get forward in the attack. These qualities along with a strong desire for winning will only help bolster our team and our back line.

Angel Quotes
'Empire of Self' is a loving portrait of a very difficult man. Jay Parini, himself a gifted novelist, poet and biographer, has gone very deep into the 'black energy' of Gore Vidal's relentless narcissism and megalomania. Parini envisions an epic battle between Vidal's angelic and demonic sides, yet there's very little of the angel in Vidal.

Award Quotes
Following in the footsteps of my mentor and Stunts Unlimited colleague Greg Barnett (2004 'Outstanding Stunt Coordination' Emmy Award winner for '24') was no easy task, ... On '24,' I was fortunate to have been surrounded by gifted actors who were also outstanding athletes. I try and do the very best job I can no matter what show I'm on. I'm humbled and honored to share this award with my brother and the team from Stunts Unlimited that devoted themselves tirelessly to making '24' the great success that it continues to be.

Basically Quotes
Thank God she did it. The arrangement changes keys three times, and she generally doesn't like to do that. Everyone basically that night just started reading it for the first time. I said, 'Do you want to play piano?' And she said, 'Sure, I'll do both.' So she played piano and sang simultaneously, and that was the first take. She nailed it. Beautifully. She's an incredibly gifted musician.

Calming Quotes
As far as his personality is concerned, he's a quiet leader . . . But all that stuff comes out at game time because he's one tough nut. He has a terrific work ethic, on and off the field. He's not a gifted student, but he's a very good student because he works at it. He's the same way on the football field. He's just a big calming influence out there.

Material Quotes
As a kid, I was really into performing. I would do choruses, I would do musicals, whatever it was. And then, as a teenager, I got into an acting class at SUNY Purchase for gifted kids, and that really turned me on to material beyond musicals, Sam Shepard, and Christopher Durang plays.
-
Adjust Quotes
You never know when your freshmen come in how hard they're going work, how they're going to adjust to bigger, quicker players. His work ethic was something I thought was really good and it's far surpassed even what I thought. He's a phenomenally gifted kid who wants to get better, who treats every play like the last and you don't find many freshmen who do it like that.

Athlete Quotes
Darrell was a coach when he was here - he carried himself like a coach on the field. He always thought like a coach. He wasn't a gifted athlete but he always knew where to go with the ball. I don't think there was ever any question what he wanted to do. He was going to coach some day.

Best Quotes
Everybody says your health is the most important thing, and he's a perfect example. If he would have been healthy, he would break a lot of records. Maybe not all of them, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them. He was the best player I've ever seen. He was the most gifted at everything - size, strength, skill, how smart he was. There is no other player like him.

Athlete Quotes
It was pleasure watching him grow ? from a ninth-grader with so much potential, seeing him mature as an athlete from an emotional freshman. He became such a leader. He's such a good person, a good guy ? just a quality individual. He was so much more than just a gifted athlete. He was a pleasure to be around and I know we won't see his level of athlete in our school.

Bit Quotes
They are two really gifted athletes. They are fundamentally sound defensively. They are little bit different types of hitters. Hanley has a little more pop. Robert is probably more of a hit-and-run type of guy. They are two very gifted shortstops who should create some excitement over the next four weeks. They'll go at it, and let's find out.

Area Quotes
Any time your peers pick you for that kind of honor, it's hard to find words to describe what it means to you. It's probably the thing I'm most proud of. Since the 60's golf has meant so much to the state of Arkansas. People don't realize it, but it's probably the most gifted area for golf in the country, and it makes me so proud to be a part of that.
-
Access Quotes
I'm not a wildly gifted person; I don't play an instrument or speak another language or have great accomplishments in another field, as many writers do. But writing feels natural to me; the act of it seems to free up my unconscious, so that sometimes I feel that I have access to more ideas and information than my conscious mind could think up.

I'm fortunate to be in a field where I get the chance to live out my dream every day and work with a group of people who are not only talented and gifted professionals but who are also dear friends.
