Perseverance Quotes
The snow was falling heavily outside. I sat before a blank page for close to ten hours. I refused to get up; instead attempted with great pains to coerce stubborn thoughts from my noodle. Useless it seemed until the 11th hour and then all I'd seen and felt and heard, arrived, and was transcribed effortlessly like the tune of chirping birds.

Anne Quotes
'The Sound of Things Falling' may be a page turner, but it's also a deep meditation on fate and death. Even in translation, the superb quality of Vasquez's prose is evident, captured in Anne McLean's idiomatic English version. All the novel's characters are well imagined, original and rounded.

Becoming Quotes
Real estate is a topic that has vaulted to center stage, ... The real reason the topic is hot and belongs on the front page of research reports is that the housing market is becoming more of an engine of economic growth, but is also the biggest risk to future growth if the boom goes bust.
-
Against Quotes
Our entire front row is (6-foot-2 or taller), and we put up a huge block against everybody. Most of the time when we block right, they're not going to be able to get it over with authority. It's going to be a roll shot or a tip to the corner. You've got to have guys back there who are on the same page and ready to get the ball back to the setter.
-
Four Quotes
The most incredible thing, ... is here I sit, and I've got four granddaughters now. Unbelievable! So much about it is really overwhelming. Imagine you've tried to keep an important secret over the years. What would be the worst thing? That it'd end up on the front page of the New York Times . But then it did, and what a wonderful story it is -- for everyone.
-
Animated Quotes
Animation has become part of the way we tell stories online. It's an option we use to give more credibility and reality to the piece. We're always thinking about making the story animated if we can, and more interesting to the readers. I think it has changed the way we tell stories dramatically. You can't just copy a news graphic and paste it on the Web page and expect it to engage the reader.
-
Approved Quotes
Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.
-
Absolutely Quotes
You need to create an environment of integrity, trust and respect to make absolutely certain that everyone is treated fairly, regardless of the differences they may have. It's essential to be inclusive, because that keeps everyone on the same page when it comes to the business's long-term goals.
-
Advantage Quotes
You need 11 guys on the same page and sometimes you get away with one guy making a bad read or doing the wrong thing. Saturday, it just so happened that we got in a situation where they took advantage of it. Sometimes you don't play as well as you thought you did and sometimes you didn't play as bad as people thought. We do have some things to work on.
-
Break Quotes
They took a page out of President Clinton's strategy -- legislative strategy -- which is to break things up into bite-size morsels -- that the public readily supports and understands, and get votes on it. And when its a 70 percent supported issue its hard for the Democrats to oppose it.
-
Coming Quotes
You don't usually get to see a guy that looks like me be on tv as a devout Christian, in all likelihood a virgin, and completely devoid of angst. So when the reviews were coming out before the pilot aired, saying it was "Driving Miss Daisy" and "The Great White Hope," I thought it was nonsense, because it was like reading the first page of a book.
-
Allow Quotes
It's a tough, tough issue that people could legitimately have different views about. The prudential argument that we should be cautious in this case carries some weight, but in the end the consistency argument is the overriding one. If Massachusetts decides they are going to allow payment of egg donors, and California decides they aren't, then we won't be able to share cell lines derived from one state to another. Whatever policies wind up getting put in place for this kind of an issue, it's really important that everybody be on the same page and have the same policies.
-
Arrested Quotes
It really boils down to what kind of role model you are going to be. You are either going to be someone people, especially kids, can look up to, or you are going to be someone their parents like to point at and say, 'Don't be like him!' I'd much rather be on the front page of the paper for winning a race than being arrested for something.
-
Easier Quotes
It's going to be a lot easier when everyone is on the same page and we know where everyone is going to be. Going into Friday's game, we'll be reacting instead of thinking or looking around to see where everyone's at. We'll be doing it instead of having to think about it and that's good.
-
Alien Quotes
Dan has many interesting sidelines and he's fascinated by the world of paranormal. It's part of his family history, in fact, ... He has relatives he claims were spirit mediums. He also believes in alien visitation and there is some speculation that Dan is an alien. He's so genuinely enthusiastic about the stuff. That's what was on the page when he showed it to us.
-
Confidence Quotes
Everybody has to be on the same page and everybody has to have confidence. Teams are starting to tweak their defenses where they might not guard two or three guys on our team, thinking they don't have the confidence. We need all five guys to have the confidence in order for our offense to run as smoothly as it has in the past.
-
Acquired Quotes
Everyone's expecting, and should expect, that these companies will continue to post very impressive gains. A lot of these companies are still growing 30-50 percent per quarter. There will be other issues that people will be looking at. With Yahoo!, it may not be just revenues, it may be page views. With an Amazon, it may not just be revenues, it may be number of new customers they've acquired over the last quarter.

Assure Quotes
The best compliment came from Knopf's Sonny Mehta. We were at lunch in New York with my editor, Gary Fisketjon, it was my first time meeting Sonny, and after ordering our food, he turned to me and said, 'Adam, I read 'Mr. Peanut' in two days; every page surprised me, and that, I can assure you, doesn't happen often.'

Action Quotes
Sweethearts of Rodeo Drive' is inspired by the fact that a lot of people are being killed on both sides in Iraq and the average person in the States that I run into is a lot more concerned with how big their TV is. That's pretty weird. I look at my granddad's meticulously clipped headlines from World War II almost daily and I see that every action in that war was a two-inch bold print headline even if it wasn't one of the biggest battles. It was all major news. The scale of this war is a lot smaller, but someone being killed or a group of people being killed might be Page 3 or Page 12 news in the U.S.

Everybody Quotes
Not being together for a long time, that's not good for a defense. The longer you are together as a group, the better you are going to be. We can't fake that. That's just going to take time. How long, I don't know. But I know this, they are working hard at getting everybody on the same page and not making mistakes. That's how you get that started.
