Mike Haywood

Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.

This is an opportunity the administration feels has been denied for a decade.

Shareese Deleaver

Other clubs will look at him as a second baseman or an outfielder. Mentally, he is happy. He is going to play [the outfield]. I gave him some sound advice. I told him to go there, have fun. If he misses a fly ball, he has to come back the next day and try to get a coach who can hit him fly balls.

It's not as drastic a change as it may sound. We would have a super block from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. that would include, band, choir, and everybody would have a 25-minute lunch period.

It looks for consistent sound over a long period of time.

Kevin Fisher

They can be informative or even sound positive, but not overly laudatory.

Robert Malley

It's an interesting offering. The concept behind the product seems pretty sound.

This has always proven to be an effective antispam technique in mailing lists and discussion lists.

The freedom to make a fortune on the stock exchange has been made to sound more alluring than freedom of speech.

John Mortimer

This Half Note material really comes at a summit, ... It's the high point of a sound that the band had been cultivating, basically, since 1961.

John Coltrane

Jim Owens

I think that Ford has been committed to being an environmentally sound company for years, but they've been short on real commitments to achieve that lofty promise. Hopefully, there is more to come.

Listen to the sound of silence.

Pat Schroeder

I love the sound of a woman in the throes of rapture - but not screamers.

Bob Marcusse

Joanie Madden

It will be a tour de force not only for her. It will give the entire orchestra a workout. We have the big city sound here in Merced.

Donna Goggin

I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.

Harper Lee

Clearly the costs are huge. Just the lost revenue itself is substantial, plus all the other expense involved in a tragedy like this. We were already having an extremely difficult year. This will only exacerbate that. But this remains a fundamentally sound company.

Al Becker

Foreign investors have more lucrative investment sectors to put their money into, but the futures market is clearly not a sound option for them now as it is not profitable industry for the time being.

We're able to do it a little different. Not too many bands sound like the early new wave of (Elvis) Costello and the Cars. This is our contribution to the whole new, retro revival.

Mike Condo

It's an extraordinarily sound old building.

Scott Stultz

We've started hitting the ball better the last few weeks of the season and hopefully that will carry over. These type of games can turn at any moment so we have to play sound baseball.

Richard Wagoner

The governor has put her finger directly on the most critical needs in Puget Sound with this initiative.

Brad Ack

The most primitive experiences of shame are connected with sight and being seen, but it has been interestingly suggested that guilt is rooted in hearing, the sound in oneself of the voice of judgment; it is the moral sentiment of the word.

Bernard Williams

Today is a major step in cleaning up the past. This is a plan that will enable us to leverage our core brands and increase cash flow. I still believe the basic foundation of this enterprise -- our core brands -- is sound and has the opportunity to be as successful as ever.

Robert Eckert

Requiring valid, photographic identification is a common sense step to ensure voter integrity and sound elections.

Ted Olson

Kathleen Rickard

I don't want to read about some of these actresses who are around today. They sound like my niece in Scarsdale. I love my niece in Scarsdale, but I won't buy tickets to see her act.

Vincent Price

Kennedy knows how to use traditional poetic forms to give us both joyful and truthful observations about the human condition. His sketches of people and experiences combine playful irreverence with language full of sound and rhythm, and refreshing bites of irony.

Glenn Mitchell

When decisions are made without taking into account sound military recommendations, sound military decision-making, sound planning, then we're bound to make mistakes. When we violate the principles of war with mass and unity of command and unity of effort, we do that at our own peril.

John Batiste

There's a lot of people in bands out there who are millionaires, and it might sound egotistical but they're no better than me. I'm not saying I'm better than them, but they're no better than I am. It has nothing to with talent, it has to do with majors, and sexism in the music industry.

Beth Ditto

We have our own sound. Every single song on our album is different.

Brendan Walter

If you are truly persevering in virtue, what is the place of a haughty attitude? The cow which has no milk will not be purchased, even though equipped with a pleasant-sounding bell.

Siddha Nagarjuna

That might sound like a lot, but people should realize it doesn't go very far.

Adrienne Worthy

I would like to see a description of their daily lives that substantiates that position. One of the things I've done working on my book is to read a lot of the diaries online, and their description of their lives does not sound particularly interesting or fulfilling for a complicated person, for a complicated, educated person.

Linda Hirshman

You won't hear the sound and fury of jet skis on the water.

Rann Haight

Not to sound on a pedestal about women, but the reality is, we bring a completely different element to it just because we are women.

Charlize Theron

The mast broke in three pieces after what seems to be a fitting failure at the lower end. All the crew is safe and sound and we're still in the process of cleaning up and salvaging as much material as possible.

Torben Grael

They've got some big kids and some athletic kids. We're going to do our best to contain them and play some good sound football.

Chad Anderson

But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the music and must never be swallowed up in it.

Lotte Lehmann

You have to be able to listen. You have got to listen to the singer and give them what they need to sound good.

Ray Brown

It's physically impossible to shoot them all. If one animal hears something, they sound the alarm and they all disappear.

Janet Hansen

I think it's going to be really cool. I'm a big fan of the band. They have a lot of cool songs and they pretty much sound the same as they always did.

Adam Schlesinger

It's just fun being a guy. I doubt most people have a sound system this nice in their house.

Tim Bush

[That does not mean Parcells has changed his coaching philosophy.] You can start to see it with the Cowboys now, ... It's the physical play. They like to run the football, they're not a mistake-prone team, and to a degree, they're not huge risk-takers. Everything is fundamentally sound. His approach has always been about fundamentals, and not coming up with hare-brained schemes.

Carl Banks

Every now and then, when you're on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It's a sound you can't get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you've hit them where they live.

Shelley Winters

It does sound not a very sensitive way to deal with such a difficult matter.

Dr. John Prescott

Well, you know it was so different from when you rehearsed. You're out there with your guitar and trying to get a sound, but it doesn't sound anything like what you expect!

Jonathan Richman

He had a lot of injuries over the years. He cracked both of his cannon bones when he was a two-year-old. Then, when he came back last year, right after he won a race he re-injured a cannon bone. So we gave him the time off. Hopefully he'll be sound now. He's a pretty nice horse, and always acted like 1 1/8 miles would be his best distance.

Hugh Robertson

This combination of pressures means that the cost of not having the necessary skills to make sound financial decisions is becoming increasingly significant.

John Tiner

I completely love playing and designing games and always will. I am so into games that I listen to game music all day. That may sound strange, but you can guarantee I'm a hardcore gamer and would never let you down by designing a crappy title.

John Romero

This is an example of how we kill Puget Sound one project at a time — it's a death of a thousand cuts.

Kathy Fletcher

For me, making music has always been a very spiritual thing, and I think anybody who produces records has to feel that, at least a little bit. Producing a record . . . the idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio . . . well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.

Brian Wilson

Another sound defensive game for us, and that's been our key. If we play sound defense and back up our pitchers then we're coming out on top.

Dana Wagner

Julian is the songwriter of the band. He may want to go in different directions, but still sounding like The Strokes. I don't think you're going to hear a concept album.

Ryan Gentles

They said sound was going to kill the movies, that TV would, that home video would, that cable would, that pay-per-view would. Every time -- the hand-wringing! The woe-is-me! And instead what happened was, the pie gets bigger.

Tom Rothman

I just know I am not going to let my parents die. They made it sound like we were asking for something for free.

Tammy Phillips

At the risk of sounding ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by feelings of love.

Che Guavara

You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.

Johnny Rotten

When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.

Mike Shinoda

All the ingredients are going to be the same. I think if you're writing from the heart, very often, the subject matter will adjust as you age ... but you try to write the best song you can possibly write. For us, we have the same basic elements that make up the America sound.

Gerry Beckley

You know me, give me a field and a blackboard, and I'm ready to coach football. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but that's just how it is. But I think, for all the personal reasons, we need to know where we are going to be for this season.

Rick Venturi

This is what taxpayers want... a project like this that is fiscally sound.

Adrian Garcia

People do not want words - they want the sound of battle - the battle of destiny.

Chris Gross

Globe has developed a stable operating platform and is generating sound credit metrics.

Charles Macgregor

It was the biggest king I've ever seen or sampled in Puget Sound, and I waited until 11 p.m. just to verify the big catch. The largest king I've seen prior to this one was a 39-pounder, and I heard about a 50-pounder that was caught off Point Robinson, but nobody could verify that.

Tom Matthews

Toward the accomplishment of an aim, which in wantonness of atrocity would seem to partake of the insane, he will direct a cool judgement, sagacious and sound. These men are madmen, and of the most dangerous sort.

Herman Melville

The ultimate goal is to provide in 5 years a sound scientific basis for the management of the barrier islands here and also around the United States.

Gregory Carter

There had been decisions from higher-ups in the past to put more of a pop sound to our music. For this album, we very much wanted to say let's not focus on making better pop songs. Let's focus on what we dig because that pop stuff is going to be there. (Vocalist) John (Popper) writes those kinds of songs.

Ben Wilson

While immigration of large numbers of American evangelicals to Israel might sound appealing to many Israelis -- especially as further Middle Eastern wars seem possible -- Rabbi Boteach's notion of inviting hundreds of thousands of American evangelicals to Israel with the expectation that they would not evangelise is silly.

Frederick Clarkson

They are one of the most fundamentally sound teams I've seen all year.

Mike Day

When it comes to this music, it just seems to be a foregone conclusion that there is going to be some kind of excuse for things not being able to be implemented that are deemed necessary for the successful realization of the music. I know that this is sounding clumsy and that it could easily be misinterpreted, but one doesn't have to be a brain trust to make the observation that I've just made.

Bill Dixon

Here are two good-looking guys who are American, don't speak French, and one of them served in Iraq. They've been all over the news in the last 24 hours and no driver has come forward. It doesn't sound right.

Stephan Sirard

We have too many high-sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.

Abigail Adams

We were there all day, ... I told them, 'Mike Myers isn't gonna rehearse. We don't need Mike for sound checks. But we're all here for sound checks.' .

Charna Halpern

It is like I said earlier this week, they want to win the kicking game, play sound defense and play field position with you. We made some mistakes tonight and they capitalized on it.

Kevin Meyer

You want to hear the violin burp. The violin can even sound like a monster. Isn't that cool?

Mark Wood

We're making some changes. A little more high-end lighting and sound and overall production.

Frankie Scinta

This president didn't sound particularly concerned about the 46 million people without health insurance.

Jason Furman

She's so fundamentally sound, everything she does is pretty much textbook. She has not even come close to what she can be. She handles the ball very well at 6-0, she even plays a little point guard for us.

Joe Komaromy

We are sounding an alert to the public, clergy, law enforcement and the media.

Barry Morrison

In my reality space, nuclear energy is not only a safe way, but an environmentally safe, sound and economical way to make electricity, ... Most people don't have a quality of life a tenth of what we have.

Gilbert Brown

It was interesting to see the development in the arrangements, and how our sound changed over the course of a decade. I definitely found it fascinating, looking at that. And how the stage show changed over the years ? of course, [in] 10 years a lot of stuff changes. But it was a little fascinating to watch that, actually.

Alex Lifeson

It wasn't anything that we set out to do ... although people are now saying that we sound like the Cure, though it's probably because my voice sounds similar to Robert Smith.

Keith Wilson

[Japanese haiku poets found something morose in the sound, an omen of the cicada's short adult life.] In the cicada's cry, ... no sign can foretell how soon it must die.

Matsuo Basho
