Somehow Quotations | Page 6

Usually, you should win these games. Somehow right now, we are a little short.

We have that kind of game. I had to keep them (Bartlett) in the game most of the time, and then somehow we ended up with the win.

We were going to somehow win this game.

Transportation is one cost that somehow gets hidden as you model these things. If you were building in Mexico and it took two days to get to the United States and now you are building in China, it will take three to four weeks by sea.

We never gave up hope and we never gave up our faith that we would get him through this somehow and that we'd have people that would help us get him through this.

The problem is our backs are against the wall every game right now. Somehow we have to convince the guys that.

We are in this case to defend the rights of military officers to authentically worship according to their conscience, without fear of reprisal that their personal worship could be somehow deemed coercive.

Well never ever be as good on record as we are live because were not a full band unless those kids are there. We ride the ripples of that emotional tide like at a movie theatre. If theres any artistry to what I do, any gift that I have, its that somehow Ive been able to tap into that. People have told me that I guide it. I dont think so I think I ride itThats what Ill miss most when its all over. But maybe Ill just go to more movies.

Those who believe that pressure for deeper integration in Europe has somehow gone away are wrong,

You have the elements of the wind and the sun and somehow not having a defined closed area effects it more than anything else. It is different playing in and out. Same thing with football teams, you think someone like Green Bay wants it 10 degrees below zero fighting it in the trenches, but you get that team indoors in perfect conditions, its a different story.

You did get this impression that he thought he could go from exile in Central America to Miami and that would be ... safe haven there, ... For people that are paying attention, I think it does give the impression that somehow the Constitution and laws of the United States don't exactly apply the same way there.

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

When you're playing bad, you should play everyday. Somehow we've gotta find a way to win.

When you work on big commercial movies, of course there's more money involved and you can still do some good work. But with an independent, you get films that are really close to the writers' and directors' heart. Somehow it becomes a little deeper. A little more meat and not as much flash.

We played well, but we still struggled on the service line. We missed 19 serves. We gave them 19 points and somehow still won.

When anybody believes that he or she somehow knows the mind of God and knows what God wants for them and for everybody else, then you have the potential for catastrophe because ... they can justify anything. It's not what I'm doing; it's what God wants me to do.

we still care very deeply about funding of CBF national ministries through the Baptist State Convention. While we're gratified that funds for CBF national will be retained and will grow by one half percent, we are concerned about the signal it sends that somehow these contributions are second class or invalid or not legitimate. In the past, CBF-related churches have been considered full partners in the Baptist State Convention. We hope this doesn't signal a move toward exclusion.

There is a view out there that somehow B.C. doesn't get to do these things, ... We are trying to be true to the promise made by Prime Minister (Paul) Martin that we want to make sure that no part of the country feels left behind.

There is a viewer who is over 50 who just gets very excited about me in leather. There are also mothers who sit their babies in front of the set because somehow the baby laughs.

This would have been a real shame if somehow we would have lost it at the end after playing as hard as we played. In the first half we played really well, but we were tied. We came out and played hard and well and deserved to win.

The question is, what's gonna make this better than last year? The only thing that can make it better is to somehow win a championship in these next two tournaments.

To be a great football team, you have to play with passion, ... He's done such a good job of helping us feeling it inside why we're here, why we want to win, why BYU is different from everybody else. I don't want to say we've 'bought into it,' because it almost sounds like a sales pitch, like somehow someone got kidded into thinking that this is better than it really is. No matter what kind of picture is painted, this place is awesome. He hasn't tricked any of us into believing this is a great place. He's just reminded us that, 'Hey, this place is special and you're lucky to be here. So work hard.'

We've got nothing to lose. We're almost dead. I said that if I could play, I was going to play. I didn't help much. Somehow we have to score goals.

We don't know why the van was running; it's kind of mysterious. The parents suggested somehow the child was able to turn it on because it had a damaged ignition and could be started without a key, but who knows?

Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.

When women say that going on publications directed at men is somehow demeaning, I don't think that's true. I think that's one really effective way to change the societal standard women are held to.

The conventional wisdom that this is somehow political suicide I think is off-base. Conventional wisdom is that it?s political suicide but it is not thought through because the issue for everyone is how soon the public can be educated fully on the benefits of this program.

The fact that the Bush administration, and those in Europe who have followed its 9/11-inspired agenda, somehow believe that the future of the world is being played out in the Middle East and Central Asia rather than East Asia has only served to accelerate China's rise and the U.S.'s decline.

We used a lot of computer technology, and I think New York looks pretty convincing. I think most people will think we got in a time machine and somehow shot it in New York in '33.

We obviously can't make the mistakes that we made against Arlington last week. We cannot turn the ball over, and while I don't think we're going to stop (Tom) Hart, we'll need to try and contain him as much as possible. He's going to get his yards, so we have to somehow limit their real big plays.

Though domestic demand waned and imports somehow slackened accordingly, due largely to macro economic control, in the first half of the year, it is totally wrong to consider the Chinese Government stepped in foreign trade with administrative instruments.

Those who say there's no problem and there's plenty of time are offering a misleading argument that the Social Security Trust Fund somehow has assets that can be used to draw upon starting in 12 years to pay benefits, but the trust fund does not contain cash or bonds or stocks to turn into funds. It contains IOUs reflecting the rate of the trust fund over the last few decades.

We don't want this argument to be obscured by those who would suggest that anyone who is for more and more government power is somehow on the side of the right, and those who are against it or are skeptical of such grants are on the side of the wrong. This is an important question of all Americans on the left, the right or in the middle.

When I was in a play in a theater, and all was going well on stage, I felt that the audience and I were somehow joined into one.

When people move from one extreme set of views to embrace another equally batty picture of the world, they expect us to applaud their choice, as if the fact that they have rejected one form of nuttiness somehow validates the screwball views they hold now.

When our backs are against the wall, somehow we always come out swinging and play a great football game. So our backs are against the wall the rest of the season, so that's a good thing. It's a playoff run from here on out and we understand that. We have two big ones coming up.

When news of my new game somehow gets out, I think everyone will be a bit shocked.

We would like to talk to any number of different people that may somehow be associated with this vehicle,

This whole thing about the hurricanes has gotten somehow blown out of proportion from what the original request was, ... How it went from that to what transpired yesterday, I don't know.

This 'rise to the level' has somehow become the legal cliche of this case. You've all so often heard it, and some of you have even spoken it,

There is a danger of possibly glorifying the so-called author scheduled to testify today by indirectly assisting him to sell more books through his claim that what he was doing was somehow good for his country or the game of baseball.

There is a central flaw in contemporary culture and a corresponding and related inability to address it. Society seems somehow unable to adequately help or protect itself. Normal citizens feel powerless, isolated and disturbed.

We're trained in school to equate mistakes with bad grades - something to be avoided at all costs. The alpha makers were somehow able to dodge that. They think that mistakes are just part of the creative process and maybe even the best way to learn.

We said we need to somehow get a decent start. ... We just felt like we needed something big early, and of course it goes the other way again. But I was really proud our kids came back. Even though we didn't win I felt our kids battled back.

We just haven't played well, at least like we were earlier in the year and the middle part of the year when we were wearing people out. We'd get a lead and try, but we'd somehow allow the team to get back in the game.

We knew somehow we have to make up for those missing points.

Women make such excellent scientists and engineers - because of their passion for learning and will-power to succeed. They out-perform the lads in science all the way through school, but somehow are put off engineering and science at a higher level, and that is so very sad.

To say that there are different rules that would somehow apply, that the standards we use in other times are only 97 percent and now we're going for 100 percent, that's not a shading that I'm willing to participate in.

To say that it's somehow causing damage when it's part of the baseline, that's not really scientifically correct.

To say that a measure as simple as Measure 36 is more than one subject or that it is somehow a comprehensive rewrite of the Oregon constitution...I would call that a stretch.

The only thing I can figure out without going into the motor is that it looks like it broke a main stud (one of three inside the engine which holds the crankshaft in place), ... From there, somehow it wedged the rod in the cylinder which eventually led to it breaking. As soon as it started, you could tell something was wrong. It was the first time in all my years in racing that I've seen something like this happen to us.

There are always a few guys that you think are going to get drafted, and somehow they don't. They looked at our situation, and they jumped on it. We were real happy to get both of them signed.

When you feel that the people you are dealing with day to day don't have manners, it gives you the feeling that the world is somehow coming apart. It makes you feel that everything is out of control.

There are lots of issues that Asian Americans share, ... one being the immigrant experience, being relatively recent immigrant arrivals. And Asians also suffer from a perpetual- foreigner syndrome, meaning that you could be a fourth- or fifth-generation Asian American but still somehow it's difficult to believe that you're an American. I get that: First they compliment me on my ability to speak English, and often I get asked, 'Well, where are you from?' and for some reason people refuse to take Flushing for an answer.

When you get up, the night and day is a contradiction. But you get up at 4 A.M. That first blush of blue is where the night and day are trying to find harmony with each other. Harmony is the notes that Mozart didn't give you, but somehow the contradiction of his notes suggest that. All contradictions of his notes suggest the harmony.

When you are young and impecunious, society conditions you to exchange time for money, and this is quite as it should be. Very few people are hurt by having to work for a living. But as you become more affluent, it somehow is very, very difficult to reverse that process and begin trading money for time.

We watched Peter Jennings' beard grow, and we were somehow reassured that he did not shave, that through morning, afternoon, evening and on into the night, he did not leave the desk, that he confided in us his uncertainties, that he shared the confusions of each hour. He grew more pale and more vulnerable, as if he knew that we needed him to be human, so that we could be together.

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.

We're the only deep-water port in Skagit County. Somehow we don't want to tie it all up with restaurants.

We're talking about communities where they have not even turned on the lights, communities where they have not even picked up the trash. Now those are physical things that it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out. But somehow those tasks have not been accomplished.

We need to somehow make ourselves more bulletproof.

You become afraid lest too much perspiration will wet your hands too much, make them slide on the black keys, which are too narrow; you are playing at about a hundred miles a minute. But somehow they don't. As long as they don't you know you're all right. You're going good, well-oiled like an engine. Not too much sweat, not too little.

(Wolff) took a touch inside and I slid with my left foot and I thought I had it right underneath me but somehow it popped out, unfortunately right to his feet and he was in. I was trying to catch up and, you know, I gave him a little tug to try and get him a little off balance before he took a shot but as soon as he felt it he just went down.

To me, being creative is a very fragile thing, and somehow I've always felt the need to be very protective of that.

What remains is the raw, shocking, humiliating truth at the bottom: After all these years, our government still treats Native American Indians as if they were somehow less than deserving of the respect that should be afforded to everyone in a society where all people are supposed to be equal,

We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.

We knew he was somehow going to touch it, whether or not he was going to hand it off to somebody else or take the shot. We had three straight timeouts to talk about it. We did a good job on the first two plays, and the third one they got us and got an open look. We're fortunate to be going back to the hotel with a win.

Unclaimed property could be various types of accounts. Insurance company premiums where you might have ended an insurance policy a few weeks early and never got the balance returned to you, ... Unclaimed wages - if you had a summer job or worked only two or three days in one pay period and somehow didn't get that money, that would be unclaimed property.

You have a kid that's wrestling a real good guy, you tell him hopefully you can win this match, but if you can't, you have to wrestle back hard, not only for yourself to extend your season, but for the team. From day one they see the banners in the gym and they understand. I tell them it's not always about you - it's about everybody on the team. We are a team. Somehow I seem to get everybody to buy into that.

You can hear this gasp coming from the community at large, just a sense of disbelief. I think it's a wake-up call...that domestic violence affects every community that we know. There just isn't some magic way that some community is somehow immune.

You have a bunch of guys from a bunch of different places, playing a bunch of different ways. You have to somehow corral them and try to bring them in as one, ... We didn't accomplish that here this week, but we did give them the information how we're going to try to do that.

We always knew when we took on the issue of violence against women that somehow our opposition would come after us.

When you make a movie, you do it so piecemeal. You're doing it, not only scene by scene, out of order, but shot by shot, line by line. And there's this idea that the director has the whole thing in his or her head and they're going to somehow weave it all together in the end.

When you look at what we can call the golden era of concept albums, which starts in the mid or late '60s and ends maybe in the early '80s, it's an interesting time for music.

What began as a defensive campaign somehow turned into an offensive campaign.

We somehow have to put our best team game on the floor, and stay within we are trying to do on offense.

What started out to be a real successful season, we've got to somehow pull it together.

We had the potential to go all the way, but somehow we lost that semifinal.

With (Katrina), it's almost like the sequel that doesn't live up to the original. It's certainly a shocking event and a tragedy, but somehow as a big event it doesn't seem to carry as much weight with the public as 9/11 did.

We are used to female writers who use their private lives as unmitigated material being somewhat hormonal; this somehow 'excuses' what might be seen as a highly unfeminine ability to turn their personal upsets into money.

We're going to try to get him in somehow because he's done too much for the program. If all he can do is bunt, I can take whatever happens because that kid is going to give 100 percent.

We're going the right direction. They're going to be something. I told them I couldn't fault them for anything they did. Defense played great. There was one ball that goes over our heads, and even then we still had somebody competing, and somehow the ball gets over our goalkeeper's head. Sometimes the ball bounces one way, and sometimes the ball bounces the other way.

Very key to a good episode is to have something not work, and have our brilliant science team somehow fix it magically in the fifth act.

We do ourselves a disservice when some of us cave to the myth that Social Security somehow drives the deficit.

You get those couples who are very fearful of bringing children into the mix because they feel like somehow that link between them as a couple is going to somehow dissolve or become less powerful or whatever. And that somehow the child is going to disrupt their happy stage.

To suggest that these African-American leaders would somehow shortchange their own citizens is absolutely without merit,

To suggest that New Zealand journalists who join the EPMU for the workplace protections and rights that come with belonging to a union are somehow tainted is a gross slur on their professionalism.

We went into the second stint on tires and somehow broke the front wing. I just couldn't turn right.

Both consumer and business confidence is depressed because of uncertainty surrounding the war, ... If we can somehow bring closure to the war situation, I would expect confidence to improve dramatically, taking with it the economy and the stock market.

Before, Indian people had been so defeated, they were always looking for outsiders, for the government, to somehow come in and fix things. But now, they seem to realize that they're the only ones who can save themselves.

Even I haven't downed enough L.A. Kool-Aid to believe that somehow Hollywood movies are an overt instrument of morality.

Even though it wasn't to my crime, it was because of my crime and that made me feel really validated. It made me feel that I wasn't crazy. Somehow it might be easier to accept that you're crazy and you made it all up than to admit that it happened. But I knew he would not have gone to prison if I hadn't come forward.

Bill Clinton thinks that somehow the engine that drives the American economy is someplace in Washington, D.C., but it's actually out here in the real world, where I've been for the last eight years,
