Phoenix Quotations | Page 2

We ain't even thinking about the division title. We've got to get better. That's all we know. We've got to be able to beat the two Texas teams (Dallas and San Antonio) and Phoenix in a playoff series, so we've got to get better.

We didn't play. None of us. That was embarrassing. They played their bench because they play Phoenix (tonight). They rested their front-line guys. Our front-line guys couldn't compete with their bench.

We are looking at San Diego for our championship in '07, but Phoenix is definitely a site we are considering for '08.

You lose some date flexibility in this compression. Not everything was able to get accomplished and end up where we wanted to be. Whether it's Fontana, Phoenix or Pikes Peak, if those issues could be addressed, those are markets we would certainly look to make a return to.

God help you if you are a phoenix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying past

Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

I love Leonardo DiCaprio. He just makes really great films with great directors. He has great relationships with directors but also has a great social awareness. I think he balances his work with his responsibilities to his world, the environment, things like that very well. I'm very impressed by him and I admire him a lot. And other actors like Joaquin Phoenix, I just look at him and marvel at his unexpectedness, just his work really.

It is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative.

Phoenix was a tougher record, a little more commercially accessible record.

We knew that when we did all the moves in the last three years, another event in Phoenix in the calendar year, another one in California, that would take time to absorb that in the marketplace. They've made a lot of progress with management changes that I think are starting to pay some dividends. I think they're going to have a very big crowd.

We believe physically he is doing pretty well. He had his knee cleaned out after the season and he's been in Phoenix rehabbing and working out. We've been in touch with him. The mental part is harder to answer. Obviously, he struggled last year. It's important to remember that he struggled at another point of his career and bounced back and had a string of success and had dominant years as a closer after he struggled. He's done that before and we're optimistic he can do it again.

The Phoenix metro area has had 127 consecutive days without rain. We are again experiencing the same type of weather pattern that has persisted over the last few months. These conditions continue to exacerbate our underlying air quality problems.

The Phoenix game the other night had 27 penalties in it, so that's pretty much the whole game somebody's on the power play. Believe it or not, you almost have got to forget about the score and just try and play the game as best you can with the new rule changes. I know that's hard to think about it that way, but you've got to teach yourself to adjust to the new rules as quickly as possible.

The Phoenix area is so compact that it's not that far to full-service hotels if that's what the executives want. But to have them right in Chandler would be an advantage that is not there now.

The Phoenix area basically is going to be used as a major transportation hub for illegal immigration, because it's going to be the first major city they get to after crossing illegally.

What she has done with her boys and what she is doing to establish a new life in Phoenix is just unbelievable.

We had somewhat of a tough race. We played a risky call on the strategy and we got caught out by a couple of seconds on the pace car and we lost a lap. Max did a great job and got the lap back. Unfortunately, we needed a yellow and it came two laps too late. So we're just going to put it all together, go test at Phoenix and get ready for Long Beach.

We need to get some rest over the next couple of days to get ready for Phoenix on Friday.

We were driving down the street one day, and said, 'We gotta learn to rap if we're gonna be in music today.' I was a paralegal, she was working in a hair salon. Now we're a million-dollar-a-year business and fly all over the country. We're also going to be in Vegas on a permanent basis beginning in April, going back and forth from Phoenix every week. We'll be hooking up with that new George Clooney hotel he's building there.

We could've easily dropped back into the consolation bracket in the first round because we didn't know what Phoenix had until we got there.

And the symbol of the phoenix represented our hope in the resurrection.

There's just so many things that are positive about the opportunity that (interim GM) Wayne (Embry) has established, from the cap flexibility, and the ability to look at free agency in a different light, and perhaps explore trade opportunities. It's not unlike a team we had in Phoenix a couple years ago.

There's just so many positive things about the opportunity that Wayne (Embry) has established in terms of the cap flexibility and the ability to look at free agency in a different light and perhaps explore trade opportunities to acquire the necessary pieces. It's not unlike a team we had in Phoenix a couple years ago.

I've been talking to the head coach (of the Triple A team) in San Antonio and he said Phoenix is in a lockdown. You call and no one answers the phone.

The worst thing right now is the weather. Every time we try to have something, there is a storm. How can you go to Phoenix and have a storm? Usually, you have to take tents to try and keep from burning up.

The W Phoenix will completely redefine the concept of an urban retreat. We'll offer guests and residents a place to sip, spa, socialize and shade in an oasis of style and comfort.

Sometimes, we give them a ride from Phoenix over here, but we never smuggled them.

Romney?s comments have not gone unnoticed, and his visit to Phoenix to raise some money has raised some eyebrows.

That Phoenix situation killed me. When it didn't happen, all the teams I had been talking to had moved on and got other pieces. I was sitting there with nothing. I was going nuts.

This is the first time people are going to see the new covered roof up there (on the Phoenix Plaza). Our event is important for selling this new venue. We are proud of the lineup. We think it is going to draw capacity crowds because it is so big and it is free.

This is the first grade I I've ever won, and it's a great feeling, ... People need to realize he shipped across the (country) six times now, not to count a 14-hour van ride to Phoenix and back. To keep putting on these kind of performances, it just takes a special horse to do that. I think he is recognized by the right people.

This isn't uncommon for us. We have done it successfully before. We evaluated the market, and Phoenix is a very important market for our tour.

This is about Phoenix going back to their home court, trying to rally. One win puts things right at the edge again, and we'd have to come back and hold home court, which is a single-game situation. So we know there's a lot of work to be done before we're finished with this thing.

This has an incredible impact not only locally, but throughout the region, Phoenix and Colorado Springs.

They have a great facility there, well prepared, and we'll keep dividing between Phoenix and Tucson as they come in,

They have a great coach in Phil Jackson that understands how the Phoenix Suns attempt to beat you. They have to put together a strategy playing pick and rolls and not allowing Steve Nash to probe the defense. I think Phil Jackson will ultimately do that.

There was one particularly heart-stopping moment when Joaquin Phoenix walked into Mass on Christmas Eve after a fire, and it was a beautiful moment. It couldn't have lasted more than 20 or 30 seconds, but it made you forget how little of that there is in movies today.

This is the hardest part of our business. Mike and I started out in Phoenix together, got reunited here and obviously he was a key part in rebuilding this franchise. ... To share memories like that, it's been a very difficult several weeks for this franchise.

It was deemed a credible threat, which is why we made the decision to go back to Phoenix and clear the aircraft. We took the threat seriously, but it appears to be a hoax.

For me coming from England, I think that for Phoenix having so much sunshine, solar panels would be a great way to generate electricity.

It's frustrating. We don't play Phoenix many times, so it's kind of hard to adjust to their style of play.

The big buzz at the Phoenix is about the possible radio station.

It's important for communities to pull together and lend a helping hand in times of need, ... ARAMARK is proud to provide fresh water to the people in Phoenix who have been affected by the heat.

It seemed like we wanted this tonight. Everybody's coming together. We've been playing great our last couple games here. Now we need to see if it carries over in Phoenix (on Friday).

I wanted to be aggressive early because the team gets better when I do that. The Mavericks and Phoenix are two teams that really try to jump on you early, so I wanted to be aggressive to keep them from getting on top of us.

I've got three more chances to win, ... Phoenix is a good chance, and Homestead is a real good chance. Last year at Homestead I led a ton of laps and ran second most of the day, me and Biffle, back and forth. He put four tires on at the end; I did two for track position. He won and I finished seventh. I should have put on four.

Oh, my goodness. The July 10th Phoenix memo. We're turning this over to Congress. The whole world's going to see this.

It was a gift. They're really community heroes. And they're all musicians and have a love of music and understand what the Phoenix nurtures.

This is a very exciting day for the Phoenix Mercury and our fans. Paul's extensive experience in the professional game, as well as being an excellent communicator and accomplished teacher, will be a huge benefit to the Mercury organization as we strive to bring a championship to the city.

At this time, there is a procedural issue regarding the reported deal with Atlanta and Phoenix that needs to be resolved. That's all I can say at this time.

Arizona State has way too much offense in a pro-style conference for Rutgers, and Rutgers does not impress me at all. The game is in Phoenix although it's not a home game per se for Arizona State (as it takes place at Bank One Ballpark). Rutgers is excited about being there, but that's half the problem. They might be overwhelmed.

The last couple of years we thought we had a better chance going against San Antonio and going against Phoenix because we were 3-1 against them (in the regular season). We lost to both teams 4-0. The playoffs are different.

The metro Phoenix housing market is returning to normal after an extraordinary year that allowed housing prices to rise much more rapidly than at any time in history.

I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to coach the Phoenix Coyotes. I've done nothing wrong.

I'm not feeling as optimistic, obviously, but Tony and Jimmie got in a little tangle earlier this season at Phoenix and Tony got wrecked, ... The other thing is, is they have had really flawless runs, and Phoenix is a little bit more of a hazard than Homestead, so to speak. But anything can happen. Jimmie has not run that well at Phoenix; if he ends up 18th, I win the race, Tony gets crashed or something happens to Tony Stewart 's car, that puts us right in the position with having to beat them by only about five spots (at) Homestead to win the title. You know, that is what it's going to take. So I'm saying we're not out of it, but, you know, our hopes are not like they were.

I'm ready to branch out. I've got 15 very good years behind me, with respect to what's gone on in Phoenix and my participation there, (so) this is just the next step in what I hope to be a long and fortuitous career.

I'm against playing it in cold weather. But that wasn't the decisive reason Phoenix got the game. It was the new stadium and the weather that that area enjoys at that time of year. That's what decided my vote.

I knew the Phoenix Theatre was going down, that's why I looked for another facility to direct, to do theater.

I'm happy we spent all day (Tuesday) working on our power play. They've got great special teams. Fortunately, we had those opportunities, because we didn't look much better than we did in Phoenix to be honest.

Instead of bidding on offices and retail properties in Los Angeles, the leveraged buyers will consider Phoenix or Dallas, where the cap rates are higher.

I look at Baron as the Steve Nash factor. Phoenix had all these guys, but they weren't winning. They got Steve Nash and they won. I look at Baron as that missing piece that helps us win.

I locked the brakes up and got into the wall, but there was no way to miss the crash. It's typical Phoenix off Turn 4. When one car gets spun, everybody does.

I heard after the fact that Phoenix wanted him. The team that we really kept hearing was Golden State.

I really liked living here in the Phoenix area, is the biggest thing. It's just a really nice place to be. I can't think of a better place to live than Phoenix.

I really liked how I could finish in half the time. And the expansion will make it even better for students like me because Phoenix has an enormous amount of business, and it's right in their backyard.

I played with Keith in Phoenix when he was pretty heavy and he scored 50 goals. I've seen Keith play at a certain weight and be pretty darn successful.

In Phoenix it will still be called the Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa and then on the second line (on the property's sign) will read The Waldorf-Astoria Collection.

Being able to rebuild the car was huge. It was a lot of work -- piece by piece, doing so many little, tiny minor things -- but we should have a real good car at Phoenix and we won last year so we're really excited about coming back.

Before I can evaluate the adequacy of these changes, I have to know a lot more about the specifics of the problem. It doesn't do a lot of good to move names around on organization charts if there aren't substantive changes. What's going to happen to the next Phoenix memo? Where's it going to end up?

By the time I was 10, I was doing plays for Phoenix theater. My first lead role was as the Stinky Cheese Man. I got a taste of the limelight, and I just couldn't stop. It was a way for me to be the artistic, geeky kid that I was, and not get beat up.

I dont know if its anything intentionally we did, but . . . we actually used to have some stations here and a few people knew us then, but we sold most of the stations in the Valley a couple of years ago, ... We own Phoenix Fuel here in town. Youve probably seen some of their trucks on the freeways, but they operate under the name Phoenix Fuel so most people dont know that we own them either.

Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix

Home wins are huge, no doubt about it. We got excellent contributions from everybody at some point in the game and I was obviously pleased with our defense at the end. Phoenix is a tough team to defend.

Home prices in metro Phoenix are down or flat now. Investors are selling. Listings are up. The market definitely is cooling.

The miracle has passed me by; it has touched but not changed me; I still have the same name and I know I will probably bear it until the end of my days; I am no phoenix; resurrection is not for me; I have tried to fly but I am tumbling like a dazzled, awkward rooster back to earth, back behind the barbed wires.

Jean Grey, the Phoenix … she finds a way to reincarnate herself constantly, so one never knows.

There is no best anything in art. Phillip [Hoffman] isn't better than Heath [Ledger]; Joaquin [Phoenix] isn't better than David [Strathairn] or Terence [Howard]. They aren't better than me. We all do different things. It's more of a celebration of a lot of great work than to give the gold to somebody. The underappreciated factor certainly has gone away.

I came back here this morning on a non-stop flight, Phoenix to St. Louis, for this game.

Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry. Phoenixes burst into flame when it is time for them to die and are reborn from the ashes.

I remember every wand I’ve ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every single wand. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather — just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother — why, its brother gave you that scar.

Someone's dead," said Malfoy, and his voice seemed to go up an octave as he said it. "One of your people...I don't know who, it was dark...I stepped over the body...I was supposed to be waiting up here when you got back, only your Phoenix lot got in the way.

I was supposed to be waiting up here when you got back, only your Phoenix lot got in the way...” “Yes, they do that,” said Dumbledore.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?” "...I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning." "Well reasoned.

Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty. And Harry felt, as he had felt about phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without: It was his own grief turned magically to song..

I had a very good package for Phoenix, but at other tracks we do not have the power. The Brazilian Grand Prix was maybe closer to the reality.

So, the Phoenix Suns are wearing jerseys written in Spanish, made in China, modeled after their best player, Canadian Steve Nash. There you go. That is America.

The phoenix must burn to emerge.

What I love about the way they both [Paul Thomas Anderson and Joaquin Phoenix] work is that all of the monkey business is on film. There's no monkey business outside of the monkey business of making the movie. There's no ego bullshit, there's no wasted energy. It's all directed at the story and that's rare.

Phoenix is great. I love Phoenix, .. I love Scottsdale. I love the James Hotel. I have a Kathy Griffin suite. I love -what's that place called? AZ 88. I had never had a cheese crisp, so I went to - oh, can't remember. We went to the State Fair, where I was all about the deep-fried Twinkie. I ate every deep-fried thing - oh, it was heavenly. I ate until I got sick.

she told me she'd be a phoenix." The image of the mythical creature rising from the ashes glitters in my mind. "They don't really exist." "She said that depends on whether or not there's someone who can see them.

Allowing the pain of personal growth to be a crucible of your spirit-the alchemical grail through which the metal of your former self turns into gold-is one of the highest callings of life. Pain can burn you up and destroy you, or burn you up and redeem you. It can deliver you to an entrenched despair, or deliver you to your higher self. At midlife we decide, consciously or unconsciously, the path of the victim or the path of the phoenix when it is rising up at last.

Only the phoenix rises and does not descend. And everything changes. And nothing is truly lost.

The more our bodies fail us, the more naked and more demanding is the spirit, the more open and loving we can become if we are not afraid of what we are and of what we feel. I am not a phoenix yet, but here among the ashes, it may be that the pain is chiefly that of new wings trying to push through.

Why can I write 'South' with some assurance that you'll know I mean Richmond and don't mean Phoenix? What is it that the South's boundaries enclose?

The main thing the Phoenix does is have an open-door afternoon program for teens to come and play music and do homework and skate and socialize, a place to be off the streets.

These guys represent the epitome of determination and hard work. They go to places like Phoenix to practice, their parents make 160-mile round trips ? they do what it takes.

This is a great day for the organization. I know Alex is excited to start his career, and he'll do that today by heading to Phoenix to begin play in the Instructional League.

Dead news like dead love has no phoenix in its ashes.

The elegance of Phoenix is its unprecedented ability to 'follow the modern water cycle' at the surface of Mars by investigating the geochemical signatures of water ice and the polar water transport story in the atmosphere.
