Somehow Quotations | Page 4

I am just praying that, once again, he somehow manages to pull through against all the odds. My thoughts and prayers are with him.

I am tired of being roasted. I had a great deal of hard luck while manager of the team and somehow or other couldn't get the best out of the material I had at hand.

I always was - and still am - somehow able to use the amount of money that we have to make the project.

'Catholic writer' seems like you have an agenda of evangelization, as if you were somehow influenced in your choice of perspective by dogma or canon law. That has nothing to do with me. I don't have a lot in common with other 'Catholic' writers.

But there seems to be the impression that without Milosevic, Karadzic and Mladic in custody, the tribunal has somehow failed in its mission.

I lost the puck. Somehow I got it back and was able to get it in. Sometimes you just get lucky.

I have always said Texas would be my home years ago, and I've been trying to get here, and somehow the storm just pushed me here, but I am thankful.

I had it on my forehand and I went to my backhand and half the net was empty. I had him beat. He slid over and somehow he moved a leg and it went out. I couldn't believe it.

I had a very bad year in my life. My mother died in February. I was 16 in April and graduated from high school that June. My father died in August and the mortgage was foreclosed in October. I can remember thinking, This is tough, but this is good for me. It's always stuck with me. I knew somehow that I was going through a period that was strengthening.

I have a pathological memory problem and when he died I was very angry and worried that somehow I wouldn't remember him,

I had quite a repressed childhood. I was born in '55 and by the mid '60s it was still very much a sort of '50s mentality there, being so remote. I just found it stifling. And at some point - I think I was about 12 - I came to the conclusion that it was going to be difficult to survive that little society somehow intact.

I felt I was going to get beat when I was down a set and a break, ... But somehow I got into a third set, and picked up my standard of tennis.

I feel the suffering of millions and yet when I look up into the skies I somehow feel everything will change for the better, that this cruelty will end, that peace will return again once more.

I find it impossible to start a project without the title in mind. I can sometimes spend years thinking of the title to go with the thing that's forming in my head. A title defines the project somehow and if you keep finding the ramifications of the title in the work it becomes better, I'm convinced of this.

For years, I sort of would try to write a story that somehow fit the title. And I don't think it happened for maybe another four years that I actually thought of a story, the plot of a story that corresponded to that phrase.

Fox is proud to have been the home of this groundbreaking comedy. From its innovative production values to its exceptional writers and cast, this series has helped shape the modern sitcom. We'll miss this hilariously loud and manic--yet somehow relatable and admirable--family.

From that point on, I spent four or five days a week talking to Ken Herock trying to somehow massage it and get this so first of all we don't lose him and secondly this can be an eventuality. They wanted to get rid of him and I just didn't want that thing to get cold.

If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded . . .

I don't think it's sunk in. We were basically so far out of it even three weeks ago that somehow we won this division and have home ice is - I think we're all a little bit in shock about that. But we definitely earned it.

I don't think one win or one loss puts you in or takes you out. I really don't believe it works that way. I think the thing that is helpful for us and healthy for us is to focus on what's in front of us. If we can somehow put together a terrific effort and win that first game, then I can say it doesn't hurt our chances for making the NCAA tournament field.

For too long, special interest groups have attacked the manageability of Linux, and fueled the F.U.D. that Linux environments are somehow more difficult or labor-intensive to manage than Windows environments. In fact, Linux system management tools are in many cases outpacing Windows management tools.

Iggy Pop has a voice that's somehow simultaneously self-mocking, wild, precise, amused, righteous, cool, contained and bold. I don't know how he does what he does.

If we were somehow able to sign one franchise agreement every week of the year, it's going to take us 30 years to complete this process.

If the implication was this was somehow a politically motivated deal because there was a campaign, it's just wrong, it's not true,

If somehow this got resolved diplomatically that would definitely take a few dollars off.

If somehow a proclamation were made that C.E.O.'s could only make a maximum of $300,000 a year, you would not have any shortage of very qualified men and women seeking the jobs.

He was a tall man with an astonishing and somehow elegant curvature of the spine, formed by an enlarged lower abdomen, which he carried in a stately and contented way, as if it contained money and securities.

I always have a book that I use that somehow inspires my novels.

He had been given a strong faith through his parents. As an adult, in his teen years and early college, he kind of got away from the church, and ended up going to St. John's University in Minnesota. Tom was very intellectual, enjoyed the discourse with monks, had a lot of questions, and I think the monks provided a great insight into the faith he had grown up with and somehow had been missing.

He had me, but I kept my back arched and somehow I came out from between his legs.

Had the company somehow survived, the share dealing by Mr Hall may never have become known. The dealings became known because of the collapse.

He flows to the ball. He somehow always finds the ball whether you are throwing or running. It's like he has this voodoo magic or something.

We can force the tempo even after makes. That's how we control the tempo. But we have to score to force the tempo. If you can keep on scoring, somehow they think that they have to keep up with you.

There is a huge installed base of customers (over 400 million) using Windows XP, and Microsoft would gain nothing by causing pain or concern among those customers to somehow manipulate their adoption plans for Windows Vista.

There is a hardcore rump within the British Muslim community that didn't actually believe somehow that Sidique and his cohorts were responsible. Rampant conspiracy theories mushroomed out of control.

We just have to endure it and somehow find a way to change it.

When Howard Beach occurred -- and it was white on black -- everyone was upset. This is similar. Somehow because this was black on white, people think it is different. No, it isn't.

We've got to somehow stabilize our connection to nature so that 50 years from now, 500 years, 5,000 years from now there will still be a wild system and respect for what it takes to sustain us,

What you saw is some of our typical games. And we managed to somehow get through it and we just didn't eke it out this time.

What we've learned was: You're more likely to win at the Supreme Court if you've done your homework, if you have victories in state courts. He (Gilbert) thinks he knows better and that we have somehow sold out, and I find that quite offensive.

Here it seems like everything is deep fried and somehow not very organic at all. You eat it because it's so cheap, and after you eat it, you feel sick.

Hopefully (the loss to the Red Devils) will somehow help us out in the long run. Coffman is a good team and we've had some battles with them the last couple years. They've been playing real well and they haven't had Robby Gardiner.

There is a perception that if you're sleeping you're lazy or somehow not earning your money.

There is a misconception that older drivers are somehow a menace out on the road, and that really is not borne out by the facts. Thirty-year-olds kill far more people on the roads than 70-year-olds.

We looked for an equilibrium point that would provide a peace for generations, ... but unfortunately Arafat somehow hesitated to take the historic decisions.

We looked at everything that happened in the preseason, ... and let all of our players look at it and try to learn from it. We're taking a different approach on some of those things now in practice, and, film-wise, we're trying to put a real emphasis on penalties. And somehow we've got to get it across to ourselves on the turnovers, too, because that just kills you.

He was facing away from the Bolton goal to the left of the penalty area when a cross from the right came looping in. And he somehow jumped backwards, turned and headed the ball towards goal so that it arced over the keeper into the far top corner. He blatantly didn't mean to do it and we still lost on aggregate.

He was never the kind of guy who would get in your face and yell at you. He was a coach, but somehow he also remained kind and courteous. Kids will remember that. I sure do.

I actually think it's harder to write a song than poetry. I try to pick words that sound lyrical and good and have the right amount of meaning, but if I read them written down, it looks awful. That's why a lot of times, the lyrics come afterward for me, and those somehow have more meaning than having a lyrical idea first and putting music to it.

Harper has been able to make himself more or less impervious to the attack that we have seen to this point and has been able to defuse the notion that winning is somehow going to be horrendous for the nation.

There are so many ridiculous arguments that MMA is somehow anti-woman.

Kids who have no money are still figuring out a way - somehow - to dress nicely.

Knowing Larry, I trust he has a magic moment waiting for these guys that will somehow get them out of that programmed, managed campaign-speak that we get from them. If it happens, I think it will be pretty intense. I think there's a lot of pressure on them whether people are paying attention or not. I do think it's one of the dynamics in this hundred-yard dash now.

Kiss changed my life, ... Paul Stanley came to our show last summer; then we went to their show. Somehow I ended up going to L.A., to Paul Stanley's house, to write 'Angel to You, Devil to Me,' which is a track on our album.

I would say that most of the people who vote here are under fifteen, so Kennedy for them is ancient history. Yet somehow he has a powerful image for people, as he does for you.

Just somehow to be able to get a win, that's huge with all those guys out. We need to just keep it going and hopefully get another one next week, and when they get back we'll be rolling.

Just somehow to be able to get a win, that's huge with all those guys out.

It didn't get the attention it really deserves, and it didn't get the respect it deserves, ... It was part of the highbrow attitude of higher education. That it is higher and everything else must be somehow below.

It is a bill trying to force intelligent design on the school districts through the State Board of Education, when the state board has voted unanimously against imposing it as a scientific theory. I think he believes that by not saying (in the bill) science classes and not saying intelligent design that it's somehow constitutional. My (bottom line) is, the state board still has constitutional issues.

It is a false promise that they are going to have cheaper gas prices now, or significantly cheaper gas prices in the future, ... It is a false promise on the amount of revenue that is going to be raised in the budget. It is a false promise that somehow this can be done in an environmentally sensitive way, and that the area that we have called so long, the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, can be preserved as it is.

I think the point that we need to emphasize here was, allegations now that the president somehow manipulated intelligence, somehow misled the American people are flat wrong.

I think the idea that Texas is going to somehow suffer because it's not becoming like Massachusetts is silly. Texas is attractive for many people for the reason that it is not like Northeastern states. Those kind of traditional moral beliefs that provide children with both a mom and a dad are the reason that people are attracted to Texas. If you destroy that image, it would hurt Texas.

I think that's accepting a falsehood and giving to the American people that somehow we don't treat prisoners right,

I thought every pitch I was going to come out of the game, ... I had another 7, 8 mph in the tank I couldn't go to, and that was disappointing. Somehow I found a way to get through five innings.

I thought at the beginning of the day, there might be two scores in the 60s today. The golf course is playing really difficult. It's fast now. As always, if there's no rain here, the golf course is completely different from Wednesday to Thursday. It somehow just dries out miraculously overnight.

I think where we failed ... was in not being aggressive before the storm. We knew there would be widespread flooding, but somehow we got complacent in that we never pressed our city leaders as to what their plans were. We later came to find out that they had no plans.

I was downright obnoxious. In second grade, we had some program where we kept a public list of all the books we read. I think it even included the number of pages. In my nerdy mind, having the longest and most impressive list was somehow going to make up for the fact that I couldn't climb a rope or do a backwards summersault in PE.

I was down in Washington when 9/11 happened. We were in the middle of putting together the next summer season, and all I could think of was something somehow must make sense to us. Our Town kept coming into my mind.

I think we were a good band, and we worked hard. But considering how many other hard-working bands there were, it's very flattering to have somehow percolated up towards the top and still be considered relevant and of interest today.

I think when I was doing 'Amistad,' I was just too young to really understand what the process was, and beyond that, I hadn't really got involved. It was just somehow - and I thought that the artistry was all in the theater.

I think a lot of young people being brought up in this scene feel a sense of ruthlessness. There's nothing to plant them deeply down in the soil somehow so they can bend and sway from there.

I think it was extraordinary times. Somehow in this 1964, 1965 era, somehow you got a group of people in that house from different colleges and different origins. It was a house where in scholastic things, in leadership and in sports, they all came in first. For that era, somehow it clicked.

I think it's probably the best coaching job he's ever done. He had them playing high-caliber from Day 1. He somehow motivated them to perform. It's fascinating how he made that team completely click.

It had to register somehow with the Florida courts that that statute was there and that it might be in the state's best interest not to go around changing the law after the election.

I think was Harry Truman who said, 'If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democratic,' ... The idea that somehow a Democratic majority is harmful for the economy strikes me as fanciful. It's financial fiction.

I think that the effort to continue to look for some law to somehow make violence go away is missing the point.

I think that's where the problem starts - is that we have put the onus on women to protect themselves instead of teaching men and boys that this is inappropriate behavior. If you focus only on the women, then you're doing what is called victim-blaming - and saying, somehow it's your fault that you got raped, and you need to prevent it.

It is not difficult to stop the crime, everybody knows which doctors are doing it in any town or any village. So this is public knowledge where it is happening. But somehow the civil society organizations do not give it adequate priority in terms of stopping the crime, they are not seeing it as genocide.

I think that's what is possible, that somehow her protest and her vigil will make more people empathize with the casualties than have previously done so.

I think that tiebreak was the key of the match. After that he got a little bit tired. I think somehow his body, you know, I think that he eat something wrong. Normally, Andy's not the guy to have cramps or something like this, so I don't know what happened.

I think that what we've got is a boutique-type operation. If we could get into a large chain, that would be awesome, but somehow I can't see us competing with Levi Strauss.

I think somehow you need to get to a certain point in your life where the notion of failure is absurd.

I think somehow we'll find some reason why this happened to us and it's such a wonderful gift.

I think 'Teenage Wasteland' was one of those cult hits like 'My So-Called Life', something that came along and got a lot of viewers and then somehow fell into a bad timeslot that nobody ever watched, and then the network pulled the plug prematurely.

It is like there are only certain kids that can get into the sandbox, and if you are not born to the right gene pool or you are not born in the right hospital or in the right neighborhood or belong to the right church, somehow you do not get to play.

It is more than apparent that the government somehow blames and refuses to properly endorse Mr. Fortier due to the government's lack of success across the board in the second bombing trial against Terry Nichols.

I watched the first people walk on the moon, and to me, it was just an obvious thing - I want to somehow turn myself into that. But the real question is, how do you deal with the danger of it and the fear that comes from it? How do you deal with fear versus danger?

I was all over the place. My shoulder was flying open. I couldn't throw the ball where I wanted. But when I needed to do what I needed to do, somehow I did it.

I wept this morning thinking about our city and thinking about the many families and children that probably drowned in their homes, so it's incredibly sad. And yet somehow at the same time we've experienced a kind of joy and vision and see an opportunity to do a greater good than we've ever done before.

I will never sign to a major record label again. If, by some mega fluke, a record of mine looked like it might break big, I'd try and do it via an indie or somehow license it. I'm not having my music owned by those corporate bastards again.

I will say that I know Nirvana did a show and played a few chords from 'More Than a Feeling' before they did 'Teen Spirit,' and it wasn't very good. But in all seriousness, 'Teen Spirit' was a great song. If subconsciously or somehow I had any influence on that, I'll take that as a compliment.

I was just hoping it would change direction. Somehow it went in.

I think these women are taken in by these inmates. These inmates somehow say the right thing.

It is as if GM and Ford both walked outside on a rainy day, Ford somehow came back with a suntan, while GM walked back inside soaked.

It is as if GM and Ford both walked outside on a rainy day -- Ford somehow came back with a suntan, while GM walked back inside soaked.

Japanese see suicide as tragic, yet beautiful or somehow sincere.

Jefferson expected them to bring something back other than samples of this and that. They were really going to represent the West in the American imagination. They had to somehow say, 'This is America.' No one had really had that burden before.

Jim cared so much about the library. I think somehow it should be connected to the library.

I think every songwriter must feel as we do, but somehow no one who has recorded one of our numbers has made as good a job as we had hoped.
