Popular quotes about Nice! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 69
There were two recording studios in Bellingham. One was really expensive, a "nice studio." We were at the point where we were young and irreverent. We would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "Why would you want to go to a nice studio? Oh wow, they have really expensive gear. Ooh, that's really fancy. Well we've got an eight-track. We've got it going on here." Now that we have the resources, we're like, "Oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! They do have nice outboards here. It's actually a pretty good place." It's funny how much changes so quickly.

We'd probably still be on the air!

Rebecca BlackThe best thing you can do if you had put something on the internet and watched it spiral out of control is be nice to yourself.

Rebecca BlackI once heard a man say he knew there was a God, he just didn't think he needed Him. It is nice to take care of yourself and be independent, but it is also nice to know that you have a resource to rely on in times of need.

Just enough to show that I still had my self-respect.

This guy didn't think it was very nice. He figured, `Oh, my God, that's more of my investment gone,' and paying money to writers for not printing them. That became, apparently, one of his weapons against Shawn when he - in the corporate skirmishes that went on. It was a bad mistake on my part.
Nat HentoffWhen Scott and I started, every time we performed we wrote a whole new bit. We didn't know this wasn't the way things were done because we were just starting.

Tyler HoechlinEven though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they don't wanna move out.

Sarah DessenFinished, it's finished, nearly finished, it must be nearly finished. Grain upon grain, one by one, and one day, suddenly, there's a heap, a little heap, the impossible heap.

Nice dimensions, nice proportions, I'll lean on the table, and look at the wall, and wait for him to whistle me.

Yoko OnoI never liked that ending either. More love streaming out the wrong way, and I don't want to be the kind that says the wrong way.
