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

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs

Rick Williamson
We trapped their guards. We ran a double-team at them. They made some bad passes and had some turnovers. We were able to capitalize and get some easy baskets.
Paul Wiedeman
We don't have the resources to force people out of their homes. But we have made it very clear to them that when we have to take shelter, all emergency services will stop. If people are trapped or if there is a fire in the city, no help will be coming. The consequences of staying could be death.

William Garay

Steve Monks
I knew she was trapped.
Jason Fletcher
That's where seniors are valuable. We panicked a little bit. We wanted to spread them out and get isolation to beat their guards one-on-one. We'd dribble to the side and stumble or get caught in the corner and get trapped. That's what happens with two seniors and three underclassmen on the floor, or with one out, four underclassmen.
Josh Smithers
My biggest fear has always been that someone would be trapped back here and couldn't get help. No ambulance or police would be able to get through. It's good to know that after all of these years, my family will be safe. I've been stuck many times from the outside and couldn't get home and I've been stuck on the inside and couldn't get out.
Pamela Allen
These are people who felt trapped in a bad marriage or onerous care-giving duties and widowhood offered relief and escape. The old paradigm would have seen this absence of grief as emotional inhibition or a form of denial, but in our view, these are people for whom bereavement serves as the end of a chronic source of stress.
Deborah Carr

Hopewell is a very tough team. They played a little different style of game. They trapped the whole time. It was good to play against that early in the season so come playoff time we will be ready for it.
Antonio Dimaria
There's a lot of activity. The truth is that the Cuban community is still very hard line and remains trapped in the Cold War environment because Cuba is still trapped there, too. Cuba is the issue that grabs the public's attention, the media's attention, and the government's attention.
Dario Moreno
The idea in this gospel is that Jesus, like all of us, is a trapped spirit, who is trapped in a material body. And salvation comes when we escape the materiality of our existence, and Judas is the one who makes it possible for him to escape by allowing for his body to be killed.
Bart Ehrman

Angus Wilson
They were open piles and we did notice some problems with some animals digging in and scavenging. We think it's mostly skunks because we trapped several skunks out. We decided you do need sides.

Randy Kriewall

Ai Sugiyama
I was a little concerned we'd get trapped. They all kind of kicked away at the three-eighths pole, and David said that opened it up. I wasn't sure if she'd get them, but at the eighth pole I was more assured.
Jim Cassidy
It's clear that the people are in desperate need, ... They have no food, no water, no power, no phone service. They're in danger of losing their lives trapped in their attics.

Nelson Cundiff
If your house or business catches on fire, or your car crashes and you're trapped in it, that's 17 people who can't respond to help you and your family out. That's the down side to it and that's the sad part to it.

At one point, we had a father and two sons on a porch, and they were having a barbecue, and they told us a story about how they were trapped in their house for four days with water up to their necks.
Joseph Defillipo
Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization . . . Without it, the imagination is but the echo of the self, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility.
Bill Moyers
These people are just devastated because they have family members that are still trapped. The water was still rising and they're worried about those they know were there.

David did a lot of networking. He gave his card to everyone we came across, (even) insurance agents and utility workers. We trapped cats and whenever we heard a barking dog, we went for it.
Hilleary Bogley
When the trains come through, you're trapped. We've now secured the money (for flyover ramps in Duquesne and McKeesport).
Mike Doyle
Now, for four or five years, I don't get nothing, I don't hear nothing. And I don't ask why. Ray had been sick only one day in his life. Pneumonia. Maybe food poisoning. It was before a fight. I had to go to Philadelphia because he wouldn't go to the hospital. He called the hospital a good place to die. He didn't ride elevators, either. Ray is not a man to be trapped.
Leila Smith

P.m. Forni
That's one of my qualities that helps me out at this level, quickness. Especially now with the new rules, no clutching and grabbing. It definitely helps out. If you make a small mistake and get trapped, you can get back in the play.
Freddy Meyer
They had us walk right in front of the fence so they could fence off the other side and we would be trapped. They wanted us to go a different way, we were just abiding by what they asked us to do.

Darrell Vienna
They were trapped, but they got out OK and they're fine.
Andy Zirkle

Nora Hochman
Because she had our money, we felt trapped.
Teresa Smith
It's just amazing. It'll be one of my career highlights to be able to be part of a team that trapped a wolverine.
John Rohrer
At the beginning of the year, I never thought this could happen. To tell you the truth, we can't win on talent alone. We have to win on heart and on being a family. (Being trapped on the elevator) gave us more team unity.
Jared Smith
I finally realized why I am so crazy about women... I am, in fact, a lesbian trapped in a man's body!
Jack Abraham

Betty Hagan
The bad debt overhang has this market trapped in a range. It flew on hopes for (Prime Minister Junichiro) Koizumi reforms, but has little chance of breaking out until he maps out a more concrete plan to clean up the mess.
Kazuyuki Naito
[31st over: World XI 110-7 (Flintoff 14, Pollock 3) - 146 to win) Just the one Pollock run from that over.] I too can sympathise with Matthew Cobb - something similar happened to me when playing cricket as a teenager, ... A gust of wind trapped the wasp under a lock of my slightly foppish hair which sent it into the normal wasp rage. I've had a short back and sides ever since...
Peter Smith
On the one hand it's a concept album about this guy who's trapped between life and death, but on the other hand we didn't want everyone to take it so seriously. My favorite movies, books and art have a certain duality - art that you can look at in one way and take out different meanings.
Ben Jorgensen
On the turn, I had so much horse that I just went to the outside because I didn't want to get trapped. When I asked her, boy, did she take off.
Roberto Gonzalez
The bear is either trapped or transplanted because it's causing problems or in some situations it may be perceived as a direct threat to humans and then shot and killed.
Chuck Schwartz
They trapped us, make us get the ball out of our hands. Our kids did a good job. (But) we missed about half our free throws and some easy shots.
Bob Mcintyre
Mixing the two stocks in the wild has resulted in the transfer of bad habits from the puppet-reared to the parent-reared birds. All misbehaving birds in the wild should be re-trapped and returned to captivity, since they pose a risk of passing on their bad behavior to birds released in the future.
Vicky Meretsky
Many banks struggle to deal with customers. Customers often end up feeling trapped in a technology maze, where they have to press this button or that button on their phones, and can't find their way out.
Claes Fornell
My biggest fear was Antoine was trapped in his room. Those video games can be hypnotic.
Anthony Monk
It was her own situation that trapped her.
Ingrid Seward
We came out ready to play. Melvin came in and established an inside presence for us. Once they went down and trapped him, it opened up the perimeter for our shooters.
Jumaine Jones
We're getting phone calls asking for teams to rescue people still trapped in their homes.
George Hood
FEMA has lost its focus, and Floridians know first-hand of the agency's shortcomings, ... Natural disaster preparedness and response programs have become trapped in a homeland security bureaucracy.
Alcee Hastings
That was the main emphasis of the game plan. We trapped him every time he got the ball and tried to make the players around him beat us.
Justin Doellman
This path may lead to many years of struggling with high-interest-rate debt and limited resources. The result is a feeling of being trapped.
Brian Orol
Rescuers are hoping that the majority of people trapped in the ruins can be brought out alive.
Yuri Akimov
A lot of times it's a loss of life. Somebody is trapped in swift water, somebody jumps in to try and save them, and you end up with two fatalities. This was done very professionally with our rescue teams.
Skeeter Rutledge
The perfect no-stress environment is the grave. When we change our perception we gain control. The stress becomes a challenge, not a threat. When we commit to action, to actually doing something rather than feeling trapped by events, the stress in our life becomes manageable.
Greg Anderson
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
It's definitely not your father's Los Angeles of 1955. It's one of those ironies that LAPD, in a city that's pretty hip and sophisticated, is still somewhat trapped in a time capsule.
Eugene O'donnell
Unfortunately, so much of it is exactly what happened. We predicted that people would be trapped in their houses. Sitting on roofs.
Elizabeth English
We're trapped in this twilight zone.
