It was really sad Bobby Neuwirth's and my affair. The only true, passionate, and lasting love scene, and I practically ended up in the psychopathic ward.

I could make love for forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, forty-eight hours, without getting tired. But the minute he left me alone, I felt so empty and lost that I would start popping pills.

Donald TrumpBarack Obama's been president for about eight hours; President Obama was here for eight years.

Derrick JensenWhen I got to Performing Arts, within the first week, a few days, Bill Charlap walked in and couldn't read music but he's playing all these solos from Keith Emerson of ELP, and Rick Wakeman from Yes.

So it was like "Whoa."
Jon GordonIf your opponent has you by fifty pounds, winning a fight against him is a dubious proposition, at best. If your opponent has you by eight thousand and fifty pounds, youโve left the realm of combat and enrolled yourself in Road-kill 101. Or possibly in a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Jim ButcherBefore I got to Juilliard I remember that I had learned the first few bars to all the Sachse etudes in several different keys because I knew what was coming. So in the first year he was throwing these Sachse etudes at me and I would knock off the first eight bars and fly right through it. He would say, 'Alright, that's good enough.'

He said, 'Hey Balm, I took you for a guy who knows how to transpose-you're nothing but a bugler!'

Robin LeachSince 1993, there have been eight or nine, depending how you count, abortion providers who have been murdered in this country. There have been arsons. There have been clinic bombings. There have been attacks offsite. Before this, the most recent abortion provider who was murdered was George Tiller in his church on a Sunday morning. So, this fits a pattern.
David X. CohenI only use the computer for editing. I don't have an eight-track, otherwise I probably never would have bought a computer.

I toyed with the idea of releasing a 12-inch of all the stuff I did early on but good sense prevented me from doing so.

Paloma FaithGod made all the animals in a single day; he could have swept them all away in the flood and re-created them in one day when they were again needed. Therefore it was an odd idea to save specimens of them for eleven months in the ark, whilst aware that eight persons could not feed or water them by any human possibility. If they were to be preserved by miracle, the ark was not necessary - to let them swim would have answered the purpose and been more indubitably miraculous.

Carol Ross BarneyIn short, Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recongize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her.

Simon MawerAmerica's critics can be heard everywhere. It is too much in love with money - worshipping the god of the marketplace, the golden calf.

Maurice SaatchiI failed on a climbing problem eight times before realizing I was climbing as high as I knew I could and then letting go.

Wayne DyerTwenty-eight years in business and you understand the importance of problem solving and the importance of efficiency, because if you don't become efficient, you don't run a business well, and you are out of business.
