Immobile Quotations

Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.

Historic farmlands in New Hampshire and elsewhere are increasingly being developed. While the arsenic and lead in the soils of old orchards is essentially immobile as long as the land is not disturbed, our work suggests that the development of these lands can inadvertently mobilize these metals toward bodies of water. Communities in these areas may want to ensure additional precautions are taken to control erosion when old orchard lands are disturbed in order to reduce the potential for contamination of nearby surface waters.

Nato today faces greater threats to its long-term future than it ever did at the height of the Cold War. Now is the time to replace immobile armies with more flexible, rapid response forces.

I've admired Anthony Hopkins for so long, and when I finally got to meet him in person, I became totally immobile and speechless! I stood there looking at him and couldn't say a word.

You know what's spooky about this location is that if you look down the hill, you can see a house, a road with traffic. And if you were here and you were injured in such a way that you couldn't move, you're actually watching people go by and you can't call out to them to come help you because they're too far away. That whole thought is just very eerie and spooky to me, that if, in fact, you were awake but immobile that would be how your life would end.
