Wonder Quotations | Page 6

His views are very much out of sync with civil rights, women's rights, privacy. Certainly reviewing so many of those memos and briefs and papers he authored makes one wonder whether he understands how the law affects ordinary people.

He's a warrior, there's no doubt about that. I didn't see the Southern Illinois game, but I wonder how they held him to six rebounds. Must have been the 13-hour bus ride to get there.

There are no roads, no development and not many people living in the area of the proposed theater. People may wonder where the audience is going to come from.

Unfortunately, not one person in the Eagles' front office has given me any idea of what the future holds for me as a player for the Eagles beyond this season. This has come as a real shock to me. After a while, you start to wonder what's going on. Why hasn't the Eagles' front office even tried to talk to me and see what my thoughts are on the subject of my future?

He was pretty banged up. Other people don't see that and you wonder what's going on. The truth is his injuries were holding him back.

He was not a stranger to her nor was she a stranger to him and I think things like that caused the jury to wonder whether or not he would have been the person that killed her,

I allow myself to not feel the need to be some sort of wonder woman. You can't do everything at once and tear your hair out when you miss your baby using a potty for the first time, although my son was obviously very sad that his mum was not there on his big day.

He walked where few others were brave enough to walk. He was concerned for others and totally unselfish. He had an attitude of gratitude and a gift of encouragement. His role as peacemaker was what set him apart. Some of you may wonder why I call him pastor instead of reverend. Well, pastor is the Latin word for shepherd. He was the good pastor ? he knew his sheep, and the sheep knew him.

He was awesome. I had no option but to try and hit him off the rink, and the wonder is I almost succeeded.

He definitely got some fire underneath his belt. He's not just a one-song wonder either. I heard some of the next couple records and it's real hard.

Guys talk about it. They say I wonder what the deal is. The media has created a certain hype and you'd think that would spur (fans) to come out for the season-opener.

I was like a wonder kid at Uptown. The first record I produced sold two million copies - and I'd only produced it because the producer didn't show up.

I would show up for work and look at the pairs of tight, shiny shorts or jeans that made up our 54 wardrobe and wonder if we were making Showgirls...

Katie is a world-class reporter. There aren't many people in this business who can conduct an interview as well as she can. It's no wonder Don Hewitt was chasing her for years to be on this broadcast, and it's exciting that it's finally going to happen.

Joss is doing a little movie called Wonder Woman. I'd slap on the Dukes for that!

I think it makes me a little bit more determined to play well. Obviously people see my name up there and they either think I'm Darren Clarke, or, you know, wonder what I'm doing there.

I think it's interesting that other countries wonder why they would be increasing their defense effort at the pace they are and yet not acknowledging it, ... That is as interesting as the fact that it's increasing at the pace it is.

I think the issue that dominated today was the Wal-Mart announcement, because it made investors wonder if we're going through another slowdown, ... That certainly weighed on stocks.

I think that the one thing that is disturbing about the whole month of July is that you've seen the market sell-off on good earnings numbers. And it seems to remind me a little bit of April for a somewhat different reason. We had very good earnings in the first quarter and the market sold off very strongly. We're starting to see the same pattern in July. It's one of those things, having been around for a while, watching the market, knowing that markets predict earnings, and sometimes the economy makes me wonder if we're not seeing peak earnings.

L.A. is such a real, active place. My mother was very into the core of the city. She worked in politics, and you have to know your territory. It's an active matrix; we're all parts of it, but people don't often stop to wonder what's going on.

I was a kid when Dean came out. Dean was the inspiration. Even the red jacket he wore in 'Rebel Without a Cause,' you saw that red jacket popping up all over the place. He really reached people in a way; it was kind of a phenomenon when you think of it. I wonder what it would be like today, that kind of a person ... he made that connection with his audience. And I remember at that time my mother loved him. He reached everybody.

I think we get more calls into South Florida, but you also have to wonder how many incidents occur when people don't call us.

I think it's only natural for people to wonder if Brett will be there. But he hasn't given us any indication and hasn't made a commitment to be there. I know it's been talked about around town, whether he'll be there or not. But he's not expected and we're not anticipating that he will.

I think it's natural that guys were going to wonder about the guy,

It gave us breathing room, but I wonder if we didn't let up a little.

I think we all believed there would be more happening than is happening right now. One of the key problems is jobs. You look at the housing situation, and the schools situation, and you wonder where businesses are going to find the people they desperately need to get things going.

I think too often we sit back and wonder whatever happens to those cases we hear about in the paper, and really those cases aren't going anywhere because of the backup. Right now we are all losing on this, so I whole-heartedly support a third court.

It is no wonder that workplace dating is taking off, with more than 28 million young people, some of whom spend more time together in the office than they do outside of work. Employers almost have no choice but to permit interoffice dating,

It is no wonder Republican lawmakers are turning their backs on President Bush. They finally realized what the American public already knows: The truth is President Bush's policies have made America less safe.

I think that made them wonder if they could win. A five-point play to tie the game is a pretty big blow after you've been leading for the whole game.

It is little wonder then that during his short life, even though he was studying overseas to better equip himself to serve the people, he found time to return home to campaign in the general elections of 1989 and 1997.

It is no coincidence that politicians, particularly on the right, are attacking this movie now, when we are in the middle of the controversy over the Mohammed cartoons. This is being used as a political football to score points. I wonder if any of the politicians has actually seen the movie. It's just a fun, silly action flick -- 'Rambo' told from the other side.

I was wondering, I wonder what Chad is going to say. Is he waiting for me to shoot the first one or is he going to? And, here you go, he's already shot out. He' knows I'm going to retaliate.

I went to grab it, and I didn't grab it right. I kinda threw it. It was a wonder it even made it halfway there.

I think the mental aspect is really big. After you lose about five in a row, you wonder if you can win. You forget what it tastes like to win.

It is astonishing that some insist on continuing to divisively inject the subject of race four days after the strike has ended. One has to wonder what their motivations are.

Just growing up, you wonder why you work so hard and put all the time in. Now I know, with the feeling we have right now.

Large companies from out-of-state still look at the Mormon factor and wonder if they can conduct business here. But with the Provo Airport gearing up, and if we get regular scheduled flights, that would help our growth.

I saw you on TV today saying Kerry Collins has no chance of being a starting QB option no matter where he lands this year. I wonder why you say that when Collins is a much better QB than the current starters in Arizona, Baltimore, Dallas, Miami and San Francisco.

Irv was a character. I thoroughly enjoyed him. He was great and made me wonder what the SOB sounded like 50 years ago.

I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain in the Champions League, but I had to wonder where that British involvement was when I saw the team.

Open source is not free. You may not have to pay for the code, but it doesn't free you from having to exercise your brain and do whatever integration is required. If you don't think about maintenance, operation and integration costs, you may put zero dollars in your budget for an open-source project and then wonder why you're eating through money so quickly.

People are dying to tell you their secrets; it's just a matter of getting the conversation going in the right direction. If you just let people fill the silence, they will let you the most extraordinary things. I sometimes wonder if afterward they remember what they've said.

Page was really hands-on with us. He would be listening to what we were playing and then have us listen to other music to get us inspired. He put in a Stevie Wonder tape and we were like, 'What does this have to do with us?' But after we listened to it for a while, we began to see how things could come together in harmonies and rhythm.

Our schedule has been balanced. There are generally times when you have to play those guaranteed games. You wonder what it does to the mindset of your players, but we've played on the road at Providence and Miami and up in New York against Syracuse and Wake Forest. I think we've been tested.

Overall, that one year off didn't change me that much. But it was nice to sit in the stands and just watch. It was kind of neat to sit back and wonder how I would've handled certain situations.

Outside belief, I wonder how people could be absolutely certain about something which needs forever to prove, like polemic between the concept of 'free will' against 'predestination' amongst the scholars.

Retail hiring between October and December was by far the smallest in years. We wonder if those 'not hired' for Christmas will 'not be let go,' as traditionally would happen, in January. If so, that will look like a gain in the seasonally adjusted numbers.

represented the joy and the wonder of life itself.

Pitching-wise, I can't tell you who the 1,2,3,4 guys are. I wake up in the morning and wonder who we will go with. That is how it will be until we get our pitching established. But we have four pretty good arms.

Plays are frequently infected with ideas that came from actors or even sound engineers. Some Shakespeare scholars wonder whether some of the Bard's lines came from onstage improvisations by actors.

Our Polly is a sad slut! nor heeds what we have taught her. / I wonder any man alive will ever rear a daughter!

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems, gastroenterologists for stomach issues, and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way, it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

People have been vaguely uncomfortable about these problems for a while, but they figured they'd get solved someday. But that hasn't happened and I'm sure when historians look back, they'll wonder why people didn't question these contradictions.

People kind of wonder what's going to happen during the summit, especially for journalists who would try to cover freely what's going on there.

People might wonder why we weren't up there taking a pitch in the seventh. Well, if you get first pitch fastball down the middle, we're going to hack. The disappointing part was we didn't get on top of the ball and hit ground balls and line drives the last couple of innings.

People have looked at our size all season and wonder how we got here and how we won 28 games. We're not going to look good in an airport. One coach called us the best below the rim team he'd ever seen, so I guess we're not all that athletic.

People love the horse, and that's what it is all about. This is something that money can't buy. I've owned horses for 27 years, and you dream of something like this. But I never dreamed that I'd have the wonder horse.

Spiritual practice should not be confused with grim duty. It is the laughter of the Dalai Lama and the wonder born with every child.

Some guys, they get down on themselves and wonder 'Why? But other guys, it challenges them: 'Well, I'm not going to let someone come in and take my job. I'll show them that I'm a better player.' I think that's the way he should react and that's the way he will react, because really the job is there for him to lose.

My own guess is that people wonder why we are playing those kind of games, ... They are frustrated with Congress and politicians enough anyway and see that as another example of why they are frustrated.

My neighborhood was like 'The Wonder Years.' We played until 10 o'clock at night. We used to tell scary stories. I was the one scaring them. We used to play football by this place called the Myer's House. It was a big, spooky house with the gables; we'd hang out there and scare each other.

Looking at Microsoft's announcements recently you have to wonder what's going to happen to the corporate desktop. I have a theory that they are going to be under threat in the next three to five years.

Look at these other teams and wonder why they won 30 more games than us, or how'd they lose 40 less than us. It's pretty self-explanatory when you look at the complete rosters of every team. That's what Lou has dealt with,

I wonder why this figure wasn't released along with the others last week. They should tell us (what their plans are) and also disclose other items,

I wonder why that's so low, given the imports of crude that are just booming. Maybe it's going into some new government inventory stash.

I wonder why law schools waited so long to welcome women?

I wonder why are we electing these people in the first place, if not to listen and consult with the public and then make the best possible decisions afterward,

I wonder what that must feel like, to have written a true classic that's been covered by so many people.

I wonder what marriage does to a woman. I worry about role playing and loss of confidence and having to enact weird domestic rituals in order to be a good wife.

I wonder what kind of shape the offices inside the Louisiana Superdome are in after Hurricane Katrina? The valuable things like jewelry, watches, rings, anything they thought they could pawn, all the food and drink, were gone.

I wonder what it is in the New York air that enables me to sit up till all hours of the night in an atmosphere which in London would make a horse dizzy, but here merely clears the brain

I wonder what is he going to do run for an 80-yard touchdown or throw for an 80-yard touchdown. It's always fun to look at film after the game.

I wonder to what extent a 4-cent reduction in fuel is going to help airlines that are going into bankruptcy anyway. Maybe you might as well let the bankruptcy court sort it out,

I wonder if we should be leaving driver qualification to train operators,

I wonder if they have any idea of the damage that has been done to this process, and have they any ideas as to how to recover and repair that damage.

I wonder if they ever are. I thought they might let that go this year, but it didn't seem apparent at all. Right away, he got booed. He just may be one of those guys that has to carry that for a year or two until another group comes along that gives him a break.

I wonder if the polite thing to do is always the right thing to do. When I met the family from Japan, they all bowed. I pretended like I was going to bow, but then I just kept going and flipped over on my back. I did this five times. I think they got the point.

I wonder if the congregation's prayers will be answered orally or text-messaged,

I wonder if my mom just got tired of voting for North College Hill.

I wonder if it's in the nature of fiction writers to never quite see their own lives as 'real,' since we are always making stuff up!

I wonder if it's going to be a test too far. They're changing the length, the range and the format all at once, so it could prompt the same kind of backlash among students and admissions offices alike as the new SAT has. It's true that the old test didn't do a good job of predicting graduate school performance, but when you add in everything everybody asks for, you get a camel ù a camel being a horse built by committee.

I wonder if it isn't the impact of Apple and other players,

I wonder if it is in the best interest of the taxpayers to sell the annex,

I wonder if I had gone for laughter and tears from the start how sad (the movie) would've been.

I wonder if Holtzman isn't pursuing a path that is going to make it difficult for people to take him seriously.

I wonder if he hears the bombs of the soldiers and their rifles.

I wonder if he dreams about me the nights he spends here in Dallas. OK, I don't wonder. I'm curious about it. Of course, I don't truly believe that I own Phil. But that won't prevent me from walking up to him and say 'Boo' to see if he jumps, just to find out for sure.

I wonder if games are maybe a terminus for ideas. Things can be books or movies or operas or plays, but once they're a game, that's where they should end. Things shouldn't start as games and be taken to movies.

I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of earth, subtleties of major and minor chord that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the earth breathe . . . ?

I wonder if all the disclosures about Kennedy's tawdry nature in the White House -- about his affairs -- has something to do with it, ... I think that the comparisons being drawn between Clinton and Kennedy do not look favorably on either of them, and I think people may have lost some of their respect for Kennedy.

I wonder how unique people realize that it is. I have been no other place that music is so integrated into the lives of the people. Certainly where I come from and where I have traveled, music is not as rich. Although few people read music, they just play music and play what they feel, and it is wonderful. It was just one of the most fun projects I have ever made. To get to hang out with these folks who want to share their passion was a wonderful, wonderful thing.

I wonder how the whole series has affected him.

I wonder how many women would want to wallow around in maggot farms at night, ... because that's really all Grissom could give them. Women think, 'Boy, could I make improvements on this guy,' and of course Grissom is scared to death of any improvements being made.

I wonder how many people have heard of ECMA? I wonder how many people make actions based on ECMA? For that matter, how many people make their decisions based on standards as a whole?

I wonder how many calves or lambs it would take to feed a family of lions for a month? We sort of know what it takes for wolves, but something tells me we would be in a whole new ballgame.
