Walter MurchHe's a complete fighter. He has some flaws, of course, but he has a good stand up game, good takedowns and a good ground game. He's a complete fighter, and that makes him dangerous.

I have learned a lot in my fight against (Chris) Weidman, so it's likely that I will finish this fight before the fifth round. Whatever it takes.

Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.

Waite PhillipsEndings of television shows are sometimes such depressing things. I think shows that have more of a narrative and are about what's going to happen next, those need to wrap up as a complete story.

Starting from here, the initiatic itinerary leads the being first to extinction in the divine Unity, which abolishes all perception of created things.

Sydney J. HarrisWe listen too much to the telephone and we listen too little to nature. The wind is one of my sounds. A lonely sound, perhaps, but soothing.
