anyone
They are world-class locks, and I wouldn't want to swap those two for anyone else,

If that had occurred in the city of Manchester, or in the city of Normandy when I was chief, it would have been a bad chase.
arguably best centre fair game league lines rugby
He's the right age, he's 24, he's arguably the best rugby league centre in the world, and I think he'd be a fair acquisition to our game if everything lines up.

It is vital that we give guys like (Pieter) Dixon and (James) Hudson games as we will need them when the autumn internationals start.

I am focused on the positives - Super 14 provides the opportunity to look at more players than we have in the past with greater competition for places.

It will be how each individual club perceives it. Maybe clubs who are in the Heineken Cup will rest players,
children lying adults
For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.
children book land
He would talk to them of stories and books, and explain to them how stories wanted to be told and books wanted to be read, and how everything that they ever needed to know about life and the land of which he wrote, or about any land or realm that they could imagine, was contained in books. And some of the children understood, and some did not.
reading thinking views
I think the act of reading imbues the reader with a sensitivity toward the outside world that people who don't read can sometimes lack. I know it seems like a contradiction in terms; after all reading is such a solitary, internalizing act that it appears to represent a disengagement from day-to-day life. But reading, and particularly the reading of fiction, encourages us to view the world in new and challenging ways...It allows us to inhabit the consciousness of another which is a precursor to empathy, and empathy is, for me, one of the marks of a decent human being.
blow soul ashes
Here is a truth, a truth by which to live: there is hope. There is always hope. If we choose to abandon it, our souls will turn to ash and blow away.
pain eye people
There are people whose eyes you must avoid, whose attention you must not draw to yourself. They are strange, parasitic creatures, lost souls seeking to stretch across the abyss and make fatal contact with the warm, constant flow of humanity. They live in pain, and exist only to visit that pain on others. A random glance, the momentary lingering of a look, is enough to give them the excuse that they seek. Sometimes, it is better to keep your eyes on the gutter for the fear that, by looking up, you might catch a glimpse of them, black shapes against the sun, and be blinded forever.
boys joining looks
Why is there always one bloke in these boy bands who looks like he came to fix the boiler and somehow got bullied into joining the group?
pain grief loss
The Detective was different. Not that he wasn't a good man; Willie had heard enough about him to understand that he was the kind who didn't like to turn away from another's pain, the kind who couldn't put a pillow over his ears to drown out the cries of strangers. Those scars he had were badges of courage, and Willie knew that there were others hidden beneath his clothes, and still more deep inside, right beneath the skin and down to the soul. No, it was just that whatever goodness was there coexisted with rage and grief and loss.
