Famous Quotes & Sayings

Steve Winwood

A band is not a marriage. There are no oaths of allegiance. If you feel your life will be better served by splitting up the group, you've got to do it - but of course it does cause problems.

Bill Burr

I heard a quote once in a documentary about a band that said you're better off owning everything 100 percent and selling 20,000 copies of an album than signing with a record company and selling a million copies. There has never been a truer statement about show business than that.

John Entwistle

It is great to be back in a four piece band where there are a whole bunch of holes to fill and I do it. It is exactly what I want.

Max Starks

I'm not going to say he's a marked man. But after the game, we'll be looking for him to see if he's going to direct the band again.

Ken Cooper

I'm expecting something like 10,000 in sales in the first 14-day period, and that's what (Universal) is expecting. Once we put up 10,000 units on the board, we'll get on a national tour. Come January, you have the band more than 100,000 (in sales) and on its way to gold. Come June you're on tour with another up-and-comer and approaching platinum.

I'm delighted to be Number 1, but next week I don't want people to buy my record, I want them to buy Band Aid.

Doris Wallace

Danny Stevens

I joined about a year ago. Before the band signed to Victory Records they played Detroit, where we became good friends. So when the situation came up, they called me up to join the band.

D. James

Brian Jones

The September report was taken too early to get the full effect.

Barry Trotz

Early in the year we were getting a lot of grief from people, saying you're playing some teams that aren't quite as strong. But they were strong teams, we just sort of got their number early.

Ramon Ortiz

Early in the year, we know what happened. I didn't feel too good. I was scared about the groin. I feel good now, and everything is working. I don't feel anything in the leg.

Terry Cornett

We just started slow. We didn't take it to them early like we did in the first game.

Demarshay Johnson

We just had lapses defensively. We let them make plays early in the game. Once they get going, it's hard to stop a good player.

Caronica DeBose

We just had a tough time getting it started. We can't get down early like that in the first quarter because all that does is take away energy of trying to get back into the game.

Terri Sullivan

We just got more aggressive. They have a good pitching staff but early on in the first game we were looking at a lot of good pitches. When you do that you can't get your rhythm going and that's important with hitting.

Julie Hansen

We just figured kids would still be in school so they wouldn't be able to sneak in early to the mall and sort of hide out in these places. It's just a slight modification.

Johnny Gonzales

We weren't ready to play in the early going. We started too slow. They have some excellent players. Oak is not ranked No. 1 in the state for nothing.

Mavis Staples

I have to pinch myself sometimes. It's unbelievable, but it's not. Because I know that this would not be happening if it hadn't been for Dr. Martin Luther King.

Ken Salazar

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes.

Leo Tolstoy

Kings are the slaves of history.

John Flanagan

I'm not really interested in being king. I prefer to work for a living

Maggie Stiefvater

He danced on the knife’s edge between awareness and sleep. When he dreamt like this, he was a king. The world was his to bend. His to burn.

Hun Sen

The king is staying here, working here with us,

Herodotus

This king [Sesostris] divided the land among all Egyptians so as to give each one a quadrangle of equal size and to draw from each his revenues, by imposing a tax to be levied yearly. But everyone from whose part the river tore anything away, had to go to him to notify what had happened; he then sent overseers who had to measure out how much the land had become smaller, in order that the owner might pay on what was left, in proportion to the entire tax imposed. In this way, it appears to me, geometry originated, which passed thence to Hellas.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, "Were he living I would make him a king;" but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.
