Rarely Quotations | Page 6

I know what's a good shot. I rarely take any bad shots. I'm not just going to come down and raise up a three. I'm very selective on what shots I take.

I knew when I got into this race that it wouldn't be easy. Anything worth fighting for in life rarely is,

I like 'Guys and Dolls,' 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'A Star Is Born.' When it works, a musical is an amazing thing. But it rarely works.

I liked the way he was shooting mostly uncontested 3s. Rarely did he have a hand in his face. It helps when we can penetrate well, get the ball in the post and then get a good inside-outside passing game going.

I, like many women, buy into patriarchal standards of beauty every day. I very rarely leave the house without make-up. I dye my hair. I wear clothes that I choose carefully for how they make me look to the outside world.

I'm rarely pushed and I never finish my race. I always shut down like 10 or 15 meters ahead of the tape. I've been doing it all year long. I have yet to run hard.

I'm rarely in a position where I can actually answer my phone without being rude to someone else. Sometimes I look back and realize it's been weeks since I've actually been alone. With texting, I can at least get a sense of what's going on without interrupting what I'm doing.

I'm on some medication - I don't know what it is - but it makes it hard to concentrate. I rarely feel like playing.

I guess art itself is insane. Its actual function is rarely clear, and yet people give their hearts and souls and lives to it, and have for all of history.

I'm very rarely beyond words and I am right now, ... It's one of those quiet moments. It's as public as it is but it's as private as can be.

I'm unbelievably honored and flattered that something like this would take place. This type of thing is rarely done while the person is still alive. It happens to maybe 1 percent of academics.

In a season when the team has rarely produced the thrilling displays we are used to, this guy has been a joy to watch. Some of the things he does are just amazing, and he's learning that there are times when you have to lay the ball off or get a cross in quickly.

I'm not the most famous guy in the world; my work is spread out across different mediums, and I never write the same kind of story and rarely even do the same character from one year to the next.

I'm a workaholic. I would not pretend to be anything else. I rarely go to bed before one o'clock in the morning. I might kind of have a spa between half-past twelve and one and relax, and that's when I do my thinking, or my non-thinking. That's when I have a bit of space for myself.

I had a blast out there today, ... Rarely the crowd gets into a match like they did tonight. The way he plays, the way I play, I knew it could be a great one...it was quite windy and it was tough to get it past him, particularly when he was coming to the net.

If we can bring the best of what community people have to offer together with the best of what government programs can provide, then people have a chance to get out of poverty. Rarely do people get out of poverty without both of these things coming together.

Instead of piling up food in my fridge that says 'Come eat me!' I keep enough for only a couple of days. And I rarely have treats around that might tempt me late at night, which is when I usually crave something really fattening. What am I going to do? Drive out at 11 at night just to satisfy a craving? No, that's crazy.

Intellectual property issues rarely derail a merger. If there was an issue, there would probably be an economic adjustment between Abbott and Boston Scientific.

Innovation is rarely seen as taking things away or making them simpler. We've had so much time to come up with a computer and Internet that are easier to use and work better, but we haven't done it.

I know from Lucy's voice that she is scared. Rarely is my brilliant, forceful, helicopter-piloting, fitness-obsessed, federal-law-enforcement-agent niece scared.

I have rarely met a musical I haven't liked.

I have rarely felt so welcomed in such a wonderful community that has given so much music to so many of us.

I have rarely experienced a city that is so enamored with its history. Chicagoans revel in their history.

I pointedly avoid doing sequels, since for the most part I find that a sequel rarely stands up to the original.

Inventions are rarely just a sudden bright idea. Even if they are, they usually have antecedents in the form of pieces of the idea... Piecing these things together gives one a sense of where inventions come from, and that's interesting.

In the morning, I use a Philosophy cleanser and Olay Regenerist Daily 3 Point Treatment Cream, which sinks in well and feels firming. I rarely wear foundation, so cotton wool soaked in warm water is often enough to cleanse at night, but I take off eye make-up with Klorane's cornflower-infused remover.

Internet outrage can seem mindless, but it rarely is. To make that assumption is dismissive. There's something beneath the outrage - an unwillingness to be silent in the face of ignorance, hatred or injustice. Outrage may not always be productive, but it is far better than silence.

In the absence of full-fledged Congressional investigations, American policymakers rarely look back. They are bound by continuity and fealty across administrations and generations.

I rarely see somebody I don't know. I've been coming since before the expansion, when they had only 10 tables.

I rarely litigate. It usually takes 2 or 3 letters at most.

I rarely listen to music while writing. I wish I could, but it distracts me.

In adults who commit serious and heinous crimes, we see some psychopaths who are evil people with evil intent and actually enjoy a degree of pleasure from committing serious crimes, ... We don't see this in children. Children very rarely are evil or bad.

In a city where things rarely get done overnight, we made things happen overnight.

I had done 'Mystic River' and 'The Woodsman' and they were both internalized characters, characters who could hold an awful lot inside, and I thought it might be cool to go back and do something kind of external and showy, ... I also have rarely played an entertainer, and certainly have rarely played a celebrity, so to tap into those two parts of my own personality, I thought, seemed like it might be kind of interesting.

I rarely get any rest in a game, always playing 44 to 48 (minutes). Tonight, with the guys contributing, making shots and playing extremely well, I had a chance to rest, sit down and gather myself a little bit to where I came in in the fourth quarter fresh and was able to close out the game.

I rarely find that things put in quotes, attributed to me, are things that I said -certainly in the context in which they are presented.

I rarely do anything on the show by myself. I don't want it to be about me. Squatting in the sewer in San Francisco, it's really hot, we're up to our knees in a river of (excrement). Rats and cockroaches are all over. I would never, ever walk into that environment, except for the fact that the guy who does it every day is squatting next to me.

I rarely cook traditional risotto, but I love other grains cooked similarly - barley, spelt or split wheat. I find they have more character than rice and absorb other flavours more wholeheartedly.

I rarely write Spenser: For Hire. The ABC series is based on characters created by me, and I serve on the program as a consultant. As we all know, a consultant's first responsibility is to deposit the check every week. After that, I read each script and make suggestions.

I rarely use product in my hair, and when I do I have no idea which ones, nor does it matter all that much to me. And I can't remember the last time I even used a comb, much less carried one around.

Being a full time coach doesn't mean that we practice more than other teams. In fact we have strict regulations about the length of our practices and playing season. The academic schedule here means that I rarely have a full team at any one practice!

By the second act, you realize this young man is not going to live, ... Something visceral happens. I remember you could hear people start crying, and they would cry at different places. There's something about that that's what theater is all about. The audience has bought into the story, into the person, to the degree that it matters what happens next on the stage. It's at the heart of why live theater works in a way that the movies and television can rarely hope to. There's some kind of primal human connection to that kind of storytelling.

But I find it's usually a collaboration. Very rarely does a lead exist without someone else holding on to the leash, so to speak.

He's such a great human being that you want him to go out on his terms. Very rarely do guys get to go out on their terms, how they'd like to go out. He just told me it was time.

He?s running his routes well, he?s catching well and he?s making people miss. He has that speed where he very rarely gets caught.

He's really kind of surprised me. He's always been nice, but I never could put him in that special category until the last 60 days; I've rarely seen a horse put it all together the way he has. I told Mr. Lewis the other day that he's trying to make believe that he's special. This guy looks like more like the mare than anything she has ever had.

He's very talented and very bright, but I've rarely seen him deviate from the Democratic Party line. ... He's very effective for his side of the aisle, and if it's a partisan issue, he typically won't back down.

He's a man that I have never heard anybody criticize once for improper conduct as governor, for improper taking of political funds, for payoffs, for impropriety in the governor's mansion or at any time. And that is a big state. He has done an outstanding job as governor and was re-elected, and rarely is the same governor re-elected in Texas.

If I ever get looks on the street, which, for the record, is almost never, it's rarely because they think I'm someone they saw in a movie. More often someone sees me and thinks, 'Hey, was that guy my waiter the other night?'

I felt that we managed the game well offensively. It was rarely three and out. The kids played hard, we've just got to work on our tackling and have to stop giving up the big play.

If I have freedom to experiment with a scene, then I try my best to do that. With TV and with the variety of directors you have on a season, you rarely get that opportunity. It's more structured.

I cannot imagine under any scenario where he can win. Patrick Manning and I have rarely been on the same side on anything. I'm a strong supporter of women's rights and I'm pro-choice. I'm a supporter of labor.

I do try to write in ways that reflect reality, and I think that reality is rarely simple.

I can make a trade every day if I want to, but that's not going to help us. A trade that would get us better rarely comes along. They're very difficult to find. Good trades are very difficult in our league and don't happen very often.

I don't look, ... Maybe once on a while. But very rarely -- unless the fans are yelling 'Yankees stink.'

I don't listen to music. I very rarely listen to music. I only listen for information. I listen when a friend sends me a song or a new record.

I don't listen to much rap, really. I can rarely listen to a whole record of it, because musically, it's very formulaic, and oftentimes it doesn't have the best hooks on every track.

He rarely gets the picks right. I will make sure he remembers me.

This is all about Fort Myers and the greater Fort Myers area. We are at our best when we are providing centralized support for decentralized decision making. I have family that lives in Cape Coral. I'm here quite often. This is a project that will last beyond our lives. It is a tremendous privilege for us. It is a unique experience for a hospital administrator to build a new hospital. It rarely happens.

All else being equal, past officeholders ought to have an advantage, but all things are rarely equal.

The end of 2003, we took a second in Huntington Beach (Calif.) and we were pretty consistent after that. We were in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix, and we've rarely done poorly.

A good resolution is like an old horse, which is often saddled but rarely ridden

The economist rarely examines the presuppositions of the models with which he works. The economist simply commences with individuals as evaluating, choosing, and acting units. This starting point for analysis necessarily draws attention to the choice or decision environment for the individuals who must make selections from among the alternatives.

The economy is less interest-rate sensitive than it was a year ago because of income growth, and we have corporate profits higher than capital spending -- a condition only seen rarely in the past 40 years -- meaning companies don't need to borrow as much,

The DRC has been an outstanding example of that for seven years. We've seen wars that have led to the deaths of millions of people, and yet it is rarely reported in the Western press.

The First Folio preserves 18 of his plays, which otherwise would have been lost for all time. Relatively complete copies of the Folio in contemporary or near contemporary bindings very rarely come to the market.

The comments don't hint either way really. People were just hoping for a signal about the rate move, and he rarely provides that.

The deterioration in economic activity would argue for a more aggressive move, but the Fed has rarely moved by more than (half a point) during Greenspan's tenure,

Amy has above-average speed, but I wouldn't consider her a power pitcher. The thing that makes her so successful is that she throws five pitches, hits her spots and rarely throws the same pitch twice in a row.

The law obliges those operating communication networks to keep a record of all content received by a user in the last 60 days. In practice, this is rarely enforced.

We rarely repent of having eaten too little.

I wrote a letter to my dad, I was going to write 'I really enjoyed being here', but I accidentally wrote 'rarely' instead of 'really'. But I wanted to use it, I didn't want to cross it out, so I wrote 'I rarely drive steamboats, Dad. There's a lot of sh*t you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator.' I know this letter took a harsh turn right away.

Languages are jealous sovereigns, and passports are rarely allowed for travelers to cross their strictly guarded borders

The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple.

To me it seems that youth is like spring, an over-praised season delightful if it happens to be a favored one, but in practice very rarely favored and more remarkable, as a general rule, for biting east winds than genial breezes

Issues are never simple. One thing IÕm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.

These thoughts did not come in any verbal formulation. I rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterward.

...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.

I like the film, and that's rare for me to say because I make films and I am almost invariably disappointed. When I saw ('Match Point'), I said, 'My God, it came out.' It surprised me. . . . So I am enjoying the experience because it happens so rarely for me.
