It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.
Chuck Palahniuk

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking.
Christopher Morley
Our half-court trap is our staple. It gets teams out of their normal offensive sets, which can lead to turnovers. (The trap) is what has got us here and we will use it in the future.
Andy Furuto
Two guys ran to trap him and I just cut to the basket.
Whitney Coleman
They were killing us with that fullback trap, ... We had a gut check in the red zone.
Kevin Mccabe
You get in here...there's trap doors, ropes, things you have to crawl through.
Bracken Spencer
The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy's murder opened some malign trap door in American culture, and the wild bats flapped out.
Lance Morrow
[Adebola had been similarly profligate, twice heading over from close in, before he finally found his range 12 minutes into the second half when he escaped the offside trap before prodding the ball under Lee Camp.] I thought a makeshift defence did well for 99% of the game, ... but one lapse has cost us.
Phil Brown
The enemy here did just the most horrible things you can imagine, in one case murdering a child, placing a booby trap within the child's body and waiting for the parent to come recover the body of their child and exploding it to kill the parents.
Hr Mcmaster
Consumers can avoid the 'feature fatigue' trap by first trying out a product, and comparing several, before buying. Chances are they will be more satisfied with a simpler product with less features.
Roland Rust
What I believe most people who voted for the amendment didn't believe is that it would really trap them in their home and then they'd find that the differential was so great between what they're currently being taxed on and what the value of their home really is.
John Sebree
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
Henri Cartier bresson
In households where nobody goes to work, both money and self-esteem can be in short supply. This can mean a lack of positive role models and result in generation after generation getting stuck in the benefits trap.
John Hutton
The government wants the parties to fall into its trap and also to show the international community that it is serious about elections.
Kunda Dixit
They broke our trap pretty easily in the first half. But in the second half, we were able to pound the ball inside and get some baskets.
Chuck Woelfel
All the kids you see here are good kids - they're just not thinking. My daughters fell into this trap. They had the reaction of all kids when I asked them what would they think if a 40-year-old guy was looking at these pictures.
Michael Gehm
I told our guys at halftime that they were going to come out and press us and trap us, and that's just what they did. But I was proud of how our guys played.
Bryant Turney
Most Americans are now aware of the consumer debt trap and the need to build wealth, but don't believe they can do so.
Stephen Brobeck
We were trying to trap on the wings to get turnovers and it worked very well. It also gave us a lot of fast-break points.
Cory Clayton
My children and children's children will be taught never to go down into this underground memorial death trap if it is built.
Rosaleen Tallon
We have to get better at getting through the full-court trap. We had been struggling with that, but we did a good job when we needed it.
James Greer
Before the Paramount, people went to New York or Wolf Trap for concerts.
Chad L. Hershner
We caught her in a trap and were able to verify that she was not chipped and was a young of the year.
Pam Schnurr
The night she disappeared is the same night a fisherman's hut got broken into and a huge fish trap got stolen. Some big knives got stolen, and none of it has been found since.
Tim Miller
My dream is to play Wolf Trap someday. We're Northern Virginia guys, so we aspire to that.
Geoff Pemble
I love music and wanted to sit down with some of the people I admire and discuss what keeps them going -- the balance between art and life, the state of the art of music today and what inspires them. Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.
Rosanna Arquette
Another factor is the dry air, something common to all deserts. Water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas. Desert air lacks water vapor. The air turns cold at night because it doesn't retain much warmth from the daytime and it can't trap what little heat might rise from the ground at night.
John Christy
Everybody is looking to build the perfect mouse trap. We have a well-designed system of layered components.
Peter Pessutti
The real trap of fame is its irresistibility.
Ingrid Bengis
They all know what we're doing (with out trap). They try to prepare for it but I don't know if they got intimidated. If you make them think about it, then we're doing a good job with it.
Camille Little
They only had three good chances, but they played pretty well in the back. They were effective with the offside trap, but there is a risk of breakaways with that. That's how Adam scored his two goals.
Mark Kalat
Our main focus was on the 2-2-1 trap and that helped us on defense. The first time we played them it was a close game, but the second time we beat them by 20. But I got hurt in that game, so this was unfinished business for me.
Renee Brantley
If this was a football school he'd be a free safety, an outside linebacker. He'll guard a 4 or a 5, he'll help out on big to little screening roles and whenever we want to trap a defender, he's usually the guy we ask to guard him in the half.
Jessie Evans
The pressure of the half-court trap hurt us. We were throwing the ball away at the end.
Bruce Leib
Trapped, like a trap in a trap.
Dorothy Parker
We get a wolverine in a trap, we call Dan and he skis five or six miles in at night. That's what makes it work.
Doug Chadwick
We don't trap for fur. We trap because the animal's causing a problem.
Rob Erickson
Our people will not be drawn into the trap of civil war.
Abdul Aziz Hakim
Our adjustment at halftime was to pack it in and protect the inside, protect the cutters and trap the ball screens. And fortunately we had enough gas in the tank to get it done.
Jeff Borja
When we went to the half-court trap it bothered them and we picked up our defensive intensity. We were able to get some steals. We kept running the offense and got great shots, sometimes they just didn't fall for us but we had a good stretch at the end of the quarter.
Becky Carlson
We talked at halftime that the trap was going to be open. We ran it a couple of times, but we didn't get our blocks right. I just saw a hole and went with it, and I scored.
Matt Walters
Sometimes the trap game for us is the Saturday game. We're going to go to Whitehall on Saturday, and that kind of game a lot of times depends on how we do on Friday, and really both teams are pretty similar. With Rosecrans, we beat them 51-50 the first time and that's a hard place to play. That'll be a key game, too, in our league.
Randy Kortokrax
East Aurora handled our trap (defense), and they went to the boards. I knew we had to play well (to win). We knew they were an improved team.
Dennis Hansen
This is the waste as we believe the grease trap companies will bring it to us.
Mark Owens
Quarterback is a lot of footwork. It's mechanics, how you step back, what you do on a trap or power or play action.
James Haynes
We knew the trap was coming and we got rattled a little bit, but the kids stepped up and did a great job.
Jason Gentry
The fall in the sand trap - a distance of 6 feet - caused the type of hemorrhaging that led to his death.
James Broccoletti
We're not trying to trap anyone. Our goal is to keep (students) safe and, hopefully, not have to bust anybody.
Obie Schramm
He helped take away the fullback trap. Which was South's big play in the preseason.
Jason Robie
It's unusual to see this kind of defense in high school and even if a team comes up with a concept of how to attack it, it still can throw you off. We trap the ball and because of our height and speed we can cover the passing lanes.
Derrick Kirce
If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door.
Paul Beatty
But at the same time we don't want to fall into the trap of assuming faith-based groups are good at everything.
Dan Mullins
We've got to handle their pressure, we can't turn the ball over. We have to dictate the tempo of the game and not let them do that. We can get up and down the court too, and we'll trap and pressure them and do our thing. We are not going to change the way we play, but we will make some adjustments that will be minor and dictated by our strengths.
Dave Hancock
There should be greater judicial oversight of trap and trace authorities, ... Federal law should make clear that such orders should only be issued after a judicial officer has determined that the proper factual showing has been made.
John Podesta
The course was a living, changing thing, because every year he'd want to plant more trees or build another lake. One year, he thought one of the holes was too easy, so he put another sand trap in the spot where everyone was playing.
Larry Reynolds
He's quick, penetrates and pretty much does it all. We tried to keep the ball out of his hands early and tried a regular trap, but he's good and finds ways to get free.
Craig Sickels
We were behind and forced to try and trap, to try and make them throw it away, and that's rough on you on defense.
Brian Keeton
What I really like about shooting is meeting the people you get to shoot with and the camaraderie. There's nothing like the smell of gunpowder, and trap shooting is something you can do for the rest of your life.
Paulette Graham
I think everybody respects them, and they know it's going to be a different game than last time. I don't think it's a trap game. I did mention to the guys in practice that they can't start feeling too good about themselves.
Marty Hammond
Commercial fishing is hard work, and the last thing you need is someone robbing your trap.
Gary Morse
Often hackers are weaving from one system to another, and it's hard for us to tell where the communication is coming from. We want to see the trap-and-trace law updated so we can trace a communication to the source, so we can serve the court order on the next carrier down the line.
David Green
[One analyst said the new features should result in lower maintenance costs for businesses.] The costs will be lower because the system is more predictive, ... It appears that IBM has tried to trap, capture and diagnose almost every fault condition.
Vernon Turner
We had a big shakeout in recent days. There was something of a bear trap at the end of August when gold dipped briefly below $430/oz before finding support from physical buying.
Ross Norman
Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business. Which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.
Rosanna Arquette
We got a little passive. We let them trap us a couple of times. We made some bad decisions, and we just went in the huddle and got them in a set and told them to run a play and create and make things happen like we had been doing the whole game.
Tom Herring
Every rest area, historical mile marker and tourist trap between a grocery store parking lot in Mount Union and a hog farm in the alleged center of the United States.
Jeff Daniels
The statement that this program is likely to be the source of a terrorist threat seems to me to be falling into the trap of seeing terrorists everywhere.
Bruce Morrison
We put in a half-court trap and fell back into a match-up zone and that took their size out of play because our guards really fly around the floor and make good decisions and it worked out for the best for us.
Jay Seletsky
DIE, n. The singular of 'dice.' We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, 'Never say die.' At long intervals, however, some one says: 'The die is cast,' which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew: A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibblin.
Ambrose Bierce
Sentiment towards gold has now turned markedly more bearish and further long liquidation looks likely, although the deterioration in sentiment has been so swift that a bear trap can not be ruled out.
Alan Williamson
Most businesses seem to have some type of grease trap. But some of them don't maintain them properly.
Paul Leary
I was trying to maintain my ethical compass and do what was right. But in pursuit of what was right for the group, I fell into a trap.
Cathy Schulman
Once we were down by seven or eight we went to that trap. I thought we got after it great and turned them over a few times and got them rattled.
Gavin Kane
The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.
Simon Cowell
I expect this game to be a great game because both teams are highly skilled. And they don't like to play a trap.
Kelly Hrudey
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
Sir Arthur Eddington
Their 1-3-1 zone all of a sudden shocked us. We prepared for it, but not as much as whenever they made baskets they would always be in it. They were so spread out. They didn't go for steals or trap us in the corner, it was just hard to move the ball around.
Bishop John Shelby Spong
In overtime they took the lead and we flipped a switch. We started attacking the half-court trap.
Brent Bartlett
We love to change our defenses a lot. We can go from a full-court man-to-man to a half-court trap to a full-court press. And everyone knows every spot, and we don't have set positions ? wherever you're at is your spot on that play.
Andrea Blodgett
It seems like we play Clarke Central every year at some point in the state tournament. I don't think they lost any real players from last year's team. They're going to be very athletic, and they're going to trap. I'm looking for a similar team as to what we played last year.
Bob Westbrook
With their size, we need to pressure the guards and get some transition points. Any slow-paced, half-court game is going to favor them. But we'll go with our usual stuff. We'll try to trap and fight through picks. This will be a tough game, but we've had our backs against the wall before.
Jason Dominick
We will be having a silent auction and a sale of goods for all the things people have donated. All the proceeds will go towards helping someone get out of the poverty trap.
Janet Heap
When we got behind we knew they were going to try to hold the ball so we wanted to put some pressure on them. We tried our trap, we tried some man to man and I think we defended pretty well out of it but they made some big shots down the stretch and we didn't. Tonight they were the better team.
Dan Stephens
It's a drug-infested, crime-ridden murder trap.
Sonya Davis
We left that place pretty quickly, ... It seemed unsafe to me, like a death trap.
Lorraine Brown
Stagg is a well coached team. We went to a trap and they adjusted and then we went to man-to-man and they adjusted again. I had hoped we could get a cushion because you knew they would come back. Williams did it when Rush wasn't shooting well lately, but they were on him and didn't give him many good looks. But when he started to score, it opened up things for the others.
Mike Flaherty
China has to calculate how to respond to not annoy the (Taiwan) populace and not fall into Chen's trap. Chen wants a strong reaction from China. They are watching what the United States does next, what the opposition parties do next, and then they will decide what to do.
George Tsai
All Coolidge had to do in 1924 was to keep his mean trap shut, to be elected. All Harding had to do in 1920 was repeat ''Avoid foreign entanglements.'' All Hoover had to do in 1928 was to endorse Coolidge. All Roosevelt had to do in 1932 was to point to Hoover.
Robert E Sherwood
What's set Megan apart this year has been that she used to be known as a 3-point shooter. Now she's known for so much more. She can rebound, defend our team's best player, drive to the basket well, lead our defensive trap. Overall game, I just don't see anybody around here better than her.
Phil Griego
The anger of the common citizen is growing as people realize they will soon be caught in this trap for the unwary. This is simply bad policy and must be abolished.
Robert Anderson
In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place to-day, it is vain to seek it there to-morrow. You can not lay a trap for it.
Alexander Smith
When they started hitting those 3s, I just wanted to crawl under the bench. I was looking for a trap door.
Phil Willard
I historically save my timeouts for the end of the game. By then, it was too late. I should have used them, I should have got my guys more strategically ready to play against (the trap). We were prepared for it. We were ready.
David Magley
With our half-court trap, we got our hands on a couple of passes, but we didn't get steals. And then they would go down and score. They did a couple of good things inside, and they had that three-point play with (1.6) seconds left.
Richard Swanson
We're saying this because he is the biggest killer of humanity in the 21st century. He has killed in Afghanistan, he has killed Iraqis and now he is bent on killing Iranians. The Indian government should not get into any deal with the Americans. Bush has laid a trap for India.
Hannan Mollah
A lot of the guys after the big weekend wanted Monday off, but we decided to stay with it and keep working on schedule so we don't fall into that trap of just going through the motions. We have to keep getting better.
Brett Wilson
Brantley did a great job keeping his composure. He read the defenses well and made some nice passes. As the game progressed, I thought we did a better job up the middle with our fullback trap and isolation plays.
Daniel Barrow
I resent the fact that they're treating me like I'm inferior in some way because I like to hunt and trap. It's my heritage.
Alfred Cooper
Let's hope we don't hear the word 'trap' anymore.
Kris Draper
We urge you to reject this request because the standard for issuing a pen register or trap-and-trace order must first be strengthened substantially.
Gregory Nojeim
I didn't want to fall into the trap of competing with all these other great guitar players. I just want to sidestep the whole thing and get out of the race.
Kirk Hammett
We understand when the international media fall into the trap of the Jewish settlers and run live coverage of the evacuation.
Abdel Bari Atwan
Connor is important to us in every game, but especially against a team like Madras. They press, trap and gamble all over the floor and they're very good at it. Taking your best ball-handler out of the game for most of the first half is not Plan A.
Chris Roche
We tried to use a zone to slow Marian down but they shot us out of that pretty quickly. Their shooting seemed to give them more confidence with the trap. They're a quick and talented bunch.
Mike Ortiz
We practiced all week to shut that trap down, and we just couldn't shut it down. That's a heck of an offense they're running.
Ty Belford
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
John C. Maxwell
You've got to give it up to Evanston. They went into their trap and we stopped attacking and we played timid. We were lucky we were able to hang on.
Damon Artery
Broad Ripple attacked the basket and gave us some difficulty with its transition. But in the second half, we did a better job of getting back and our trap helped turn things around.
Scott Hicks
When you become No. 1 and everybody talks about how much you're going to kill the other team and they've done nothing but lose and you're on the road, it's at night and it's cold, it's a trap game.
Mack Brown
We don't really try to a trap.
Shawn Mcelroy
Afton made a nice run to cut it to seven. We responded by being patient and getting easy buckets off their trap and making a lot of our free throws.
Matt Campbell
They tried to take air out of the ball. But we played smart and picked our spots to trap them.
Rob Porritt
And you see want happened when we did run our offense in the second half. The inside was open for easy shots. Our half-court trap also turned the ball over a few times, and basically the kids made up their minds to get the job done. They played their hearts out.
Paul Hatcher
We have fallen into the trap of playing too slowly this season.
Frank Rijkaard
I was just concerned about my own welfare. I hope this might prevent someone else from falling into this trap.
Doris Williams
That night she was so happy; even in the trap, she was purring, ... And I was so happy. We were up all night, just hugging each other.
Jack Mccoy
It's their call, to operate the trap.
Montana Department
They gave a lot of teams in our league trouble with that. We exploited the trap (in a 75-67 victory March 4). We played to pass out of it and played 4-on-3 from there. They're so aggressive with it, that it's hard to simulate in practice.
Shaka Smart
Man is the only kind of varmint who sets his own trap, baits it, then steps on it.
John Steinbeck
The security companies and hackers play a continued game of cat and mouse. The security companies set up the trap, and the hackers disengage it. That's why it's important to own shares of these companies. The demand will never be static. Companies will continue to buy new products and invest in security platforms.
Jordan Klein
We believe it is important not to fall into the trap of talking the economy down unnecessarily - while at the same time being transparent about current economic reality.
Brent Impey
We executed well, and shared the ball really well. They came out and tried to trap, and we did a good job of making the extra pass.
Becky Hammon
The EPA has determined that the best course of action is to trap the material in place until a long-term solution for the PCB contamination issue in St. Clair Shores can be developed. This effort will reduce risk of PCBs entering the environment.
Thomas Skinner
The real intent is to be able to quickly and easily see where you want to set up an ice trap, without having to set a hole. More and more people are aware of them. They've saturated the market.
John Whitman
We went back to the basic things, try to cause some turnovers. They've always seemed to have trouble with (the trap defense). We're just so tall and so long, if we can keep our hands up and in the passing lanes we can create turnovers.
Mike Gainey
A backlash is quite easy to have. We're asking the public of this country not to fall into this trap.
Keheliya Rambukwella
The danger is that one admission would lead to calls for more admissions, ... He can address an issue without falling into the trap of perpetual apology.
Jack Pitney
I'm not sure how much water is in that, but you never know. For their style of offense and my style of play, I think it fits. I'm never going to be 350 pounds and be able to dominate someone. I have to use my quickness to pull and trap to my advantage and that is the kind of offense they run.
Ralph Gillespie
Overspending is a very attractive trap. If people like what they're doing, despite the worry of debt, they won't do anything about it.
Adriane Berg
What a great outcome for the kids. It was a gamble to trap, but it almost worked the first time, so we tried to trap again.
Donnie Madzia
In the third period, we generated some great scoring chances. It was good to see that we continued to press through the defensive trap set up by the Falcons in the final period. In the past, we would struggle to generate offense when go against the trap.
Glenn Walsh
They're trying to set some kind of trap for appeal, judge, but I don't think you have to go for it.
Fred Peters
We heard that [Bald Knob] didn't get rattled by the press, but that's just our style. That's what we do. We didn't have any choice. We had to do what we do best. We tried to trap at half court and put as much pressure on the ball handler as we can and we've had some success in the second half of the season with it.
Cedrick Wilson
Coach Trap told me before the game I had to be efficient with my pitches because our bullpen was a little thin. I can't seem to sneak through the nasty sixth inning.
Brian Harrington
They were just too talented to trap.
Lonnie Starks
We weren't aware they were in a half-court trap. We got caught by surprise.
Rich Gradoville
We didn't know if we should keep calling (the fullback trap) or not. (Winslow) came up big on a couple of fourth downs.
Mike Hathaway
The US has a pretty good record of falling into this trap. The Bush administration has so overused the Hitler analogy that it's almost demeaning to history.
Andrew Bacevich
We came prepared. We knew they ran the off-sides trap. We worked on it for two days and it paid off. We're so balanced. You can't mark one person and expect to shut us down. I've dreamed of having this many weapons and they just play well together. They're so spirited and united.
Mike Bradbury
It's definitely frustrating when you have that many penalties to kill. But on the same hand, we kind of put ourselves in that trap - nobody else did - so we have no one to blame but us.
Robert Esche
That was a momentum shift for NFA with that run in the second quarter. They went to that half-court trap and that gave us a lot of problems. That (trap) slowed us down and created the tempo they wanted to play at.
Rob Mileski
You used to put the trap out there, and you'd be fine. Now you just can't do that. And obviously tonight, they came back.
Ian Laperriere
I went there with a trap Desiree had given me; she told me how to catch a frightened cat, ... You see, being from Key West, she doesn't see a lot of cars, and so she is scared to death of cars, so she was hiding under the houses and in the woods.
Jack Mccoy
Complexity can be a trap. You can have a ball developing a phrase, inverting it, playing it in different keys and times and all. But it's really more introspective than communicative. Like a crossword puzzle compared to a poem.
Paul Desmond
You know they're going to throw stuff at you, they're going to try to trap, they're going press, they're going bring in a bunch of shooters. You just have to be mentally focused to handle that.
Kelly Whitney
Cirrus clouds are like a blanket. They trap heat in the system. That energy has to escape somehow. If enough energy is trapped and stored in the system, it can escape from the tropical ocean in the form of a hurricane, or in a big rain event like a 'Pineapple Express,' which is a deep flow of moisture in the tropics like we recently had hit the East Coast.
Jay Mace
We kept working hard and persevered, and when you do that it makes things happen. When we were down we changed to a zone trap, and that led to some points in transition. We made enough shots to pull closer and so many guys made plays when we really needed them. We're just working extremely well together as a team right now.
Kevin Logsdon
I'd like to see the first time that Bush and Tom DeLay get into a trap.
Evan Smith
We were just holding the ball a bit too much. You got to release it quick so you can get it over the top (when they trap us). We did it a few times. We were just a little complacent coming out today.
Ernie Suozzi
Here's an example of a simple trap I fell into. I set up a 512-element array of sine-wave values. When the FPGA code didn't finish compiling after several hours I discovered I shouldn't design an FPGA-based application that contains an array with more than 32 elements.
Eric Lyness
Dustin and Griffin played really well on the trap tonight. Dustin really stepped up offensively and did a pretty nice job. I think we shot pretty well tonight and just got it done.
Eric Laksonen
I don't think they were rattled. They just didn't do anything. They didn't remember where to go offensively. We were out of place every time down the floor. Against their trap, we were throwing it right to them. We just didn't play.
Emanuel Davis
The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke.
Elizabeth Warren
Don't blame me for the fact that competent programming, as I view it as an intellectual possibility, will be too difficult for 'the average programmer', you must not fall into the trap of rejecting a surgical technique because it is beyond the capabilities of the barber in his shop around the corner.
Edsger Dijkstra
Your mother is dead and you're worried about a stupid warrant? He wants you to buy that. He was caught like a rat in a trap. 'I'm busted' is what it is. He was probably trying to figure out how to get out of it.
Edgar Rodriguez
We had to throw out our offense. They trap and press, so we had Kelvin attack when he beat the press. He did a great job against the press with the dribble and the pass.
