You have to face the very thing you fear.--tdf ~ Tonya D. Floyd
Floyd quotes by Tonya D. Floyd
I was trying to do something that seemed very natural and easy but which bridged that gulf between the singing voice and the speaking voice. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
I'm always going to love my father. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
In my view, the operas of Carlisle Floyd will find a place in the permanent repertoire. ~ Bruce Beresford
Floyd quotes by Bruce Beresford
The dead man's nephew, excused from this duty, walks far ahead out of earshot. We are free as we go stumbling and sweating along to say exactly what we please, without fear of offending. "Heavy son of a bitch. ... " "All blown up like he is, you'd think he'd float like a balloon." "Let's just hope he don't explode." "He won't. We let the gas out." "What about lunch?" somebody asks; "I'm hungry." "Eat this." "Why'd the bastard have to go so far from the road?" "There's something leaking out that zipper." "Never mind, let's try to get in step here," the sheriff says. "Goddamnit, Floyd, you got big feet." "Are we going in the right direction?" "I wonder if the old fart would walk part way if we let him out of that bag?" "He won't even say thank you for the ride." "Well I hope this learned him a lesson, goddamn him. I guess he'll stay put after this. ... " Thus we meditate upon the stranger's death. ~ Edward Abbey
Floyd quotes by Edward Abbey
I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I really did try to write it so that an educated public that cares about issues like this doesn't have to be a lawyer and can read it and understand it. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
Park hated football. He cried when his dad took him pheasant hunting. Nobody in the neighbourhood could ever tell who he was dressed as on Halloween. ('I'm Doctor Who.' 'I'm Harp Marx.' 'I'm Count Floyd.') And he kind of wanted his mom to give him blond highlights. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Floyd quotes by Rainbow Rowell
For those who turn to literary biography for salacious details, 'Flannery' will disappoint. It is the biography of someone who had very little chance to live in the conventional sense, to experience events. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
I was just about 6 weeks old when we moved to Detroit. ~ Eddie Floyd
Floyd quotes by Eddie Floyd
Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you ! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you ! out there on your own
sitting naked by the phone would you touch me
Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you ! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
The question at the end of the day was, the courts having found there was no defense, a producer about to go to jail, should CBS in effect tell the producer go to jail even though there is no law at all that we can use to get you out of jail? ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
I've never set out consciously to write American music. I don't know what that would be unless the obvious Appalachian folk references. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
I don't have to fight if I don't want to. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Everybody is blessed with a certain talent, you have to know what your talent is maximize it and push it to the limit. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
When memories fade, can one ever really return home? ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Some people are just right for you. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Eventually, however, the denial turned into emptiness and my childhood ended. ~ Floyd C. Forsberg
Floyd quotes by Floyd C. Forsberg
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
In the end, my children put me on to Pink Floyd when they were teenagers. ~ Tom Stoppard
Floyd quotes by Tom Stoppard
You know, as a young child, I lay in my bedroom and I swore to myself then: 'I'm not going to smoke and I'm not going to drink.' And I said I'm not going to just say that when I'm a kid. I'm going to stick to that as an adult. I kept that in mind my whole life. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties. ~ Klaus Schulze
Floyd quotes by Klaus Schulze
I've truly been blessed. I've taken my time, kept my eye on the prize and done what I've had to do. So I'm able to make a choice when to retire. Most fighters really couldn't. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
A belt don't make me. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
You have to realize that most of these guys get in there and fight on heart. I fight with smarts. There is no fighter that is smarter than me. Most of these fighters are ABC, 1-2-3. I am like 4-5-6 levels above them; that's why I'm able to beat them. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
There's ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and 'Python' achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans - George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it. ~ Michael Palin
Floyd quotes by Michael Palin
You can't possibly predict what will last or not. But once you attempt to write for the ages, you're doomed. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
Acceptance is a deceptive word. It suggests compliance, a consenting to my condition and to who I have become. This form of acceptance is often seen as weakness, submission. We say I accept my punishment. Or I accept your decision. But such assent, while passive in essence, does provide the stable, rocklike foundation for coping with a condition that will not go away. It is a powerful passivity, the Zen of Illness, that allows for endurance. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
BLACK ISN'T JUST A HUE IT'S A HUEMAN ~ Qwana M. "BabyGirl" Reynolds-Frasier
Floyd quotes by Qwana M.

Piper at The Gates of Dawn (1967)
Singles and B-sides, outtakes

Ummagumma
Zabriskie Point (recorded Dec. 69)
Pretty damned impressive! ~ Sienna McQuillen
Floyd quotes by Sienna McQuillen
Adrian Maben came to us with the idea. And we just thought, "Well, why not?" I don't think any of us thought it would be as well received and last in people's minds for as long as it did. All credit to him. It's his idea [Pink Floyd at Pompeii] and it was great. ~ David Gilmour
Floyd quotes by David Gilmour
A lot of times, in the beginning of my career, I put pressure on myself just because I wanted to perform so well. I just wanted to be perfect. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I felt like the girl who showed up at a formal dinner party in jeans and a Pink Floyd T-shirt. Probably 'cause I did that once. ~ Darynda Jones
Floyd quotes by Darynda Jones
I could feel her behind me. I knew she was there, but I didn't dare turn around. A book I read about sailing ships said that the lookout man sometimes couldn't see through the fog, but he could tell they were getting close to an iceberg when the air would turn cold. The air turned cold when Miz Ort came near, too. ~ Floyd Wesley Brosman
Floyd quotes by Floyd Wesley Brosman
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
When Beverly and I got together in 1992, and I moved to be with her in the little round house she'd built in the middle of 20 acres of woods near Amity, I found myself immersed in a natural setting that I responded to with all my being. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Cooking is an art and patience a virtue... Careful shopping, fresh
ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing - love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist - not perhaps in the representational style of a Dutch master, but rather more like Gauguin, the naïve, or Van Gogh,
the impressionist. Plates or pictures of sunshine taste of happiness and love. ~ Keith Floyd
Floyd quotes by Keith Floyd
I wish I weren't single now;
I need someone to lick me back to form. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I can tell you, having been in court today in New York, that the requests for the video outtakes have been dropped. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
That doesn't necessarily mean that the story isn't true, ... But what it does mean, then, is that at this moment we simply do not have enough evidence, in my view, for any conclusion to be reached - that the presidents have been lying to us for all these years and that what we've been told was just a pack of lies. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
I think one of the primary themes in my work is the paradox of memory, at once fundamental to our sense of who we are and yet elusive, ever-changing, fragmentary. One way to look at this is to say that, therefore, we ourselves are elusive, ever-changing and fragmentary to ourselves. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
I think we have some serious problems now, but, if you look back over the last thirty or forty years that my book deals with, I think we are in better shape now than we would have been if all of those cases had not come down. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like, instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
I learned to play piano in a rock n' roll context or band context from country records - you know, Floyd Cramer - and from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Stax. And none of those are keyboard records. ~ Benmont Tench
Floyd quotes by Benmont Tench
There's someone in my head, but it's not me. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
To be honest with you, I normally beat guys with my C game and I don't have to pull my A or B game out. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I think that cheap music often does make you dream more than more serious music, whether that's serious music by Beethoven or Miles Davis or Pink Floyd ... if the Floyd ever did serious music, which I seriously doubt. ~ Jonathan Meades
Floyd quotes by Jonathan Meades
Showing is better than telling. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Cotto is a talented fighter but I'm God gifted. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I'd rather stay away from the limelight. Not because I'm trying to be a good boy and all that stuff. I just love quiet. ~ Cliff Floyd
Floyd quotes by Cliff Floyd
All 48 of my fights have been hard. None have been easy. All played a major key. It's the 'Mayweather Era.' I feel that every fighter is an artist and they all take pictures their own way. I'm just one of the very best artists. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Cassius Clay must be beaten and the Black Muslims' scourge removed from boxing. ~ Floyd Patterson
Floyd quotes by Floyd Patterson
A brick could be used to say hi to Pink Floyd. ~ Jarod Kintz
Floyd quotes by Jarod Kintz
In the end, you have to protect yourself at all times. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
When I have my Afro and walk down the street, there's no doubt that I'm black. With this [straightened] hair, if I talk about being black on air, viewers write and say, "You're black?!" I feel [straightening your hair] is giving up a sense of your identity. Let's be honest: It's an effort to look Anglo-Saxon. ~ Jami Floyd
Floyd quotes by Jami Floyd
If you want to chase a runaway ambulance toward what's left of the American Dream, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao show you that, still, somehow, boxing remains the yellow brick road in our country. ~ Brin-Jonathan Butler
Floyd quotes by Brin-Jonathan Butler
I would like to quote a very prejudicial doctrine that was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1823. It said that the Indian Nations do not have title to their lands because they weren't Christians. That the first Christian Nations to discover an area of heathen lands has the absolute title. This doctrine should be withdrawn and renounced to establish a new basis for relationship between indigenous peoples and other peoples of the world. ~ Floyd Red Crow Westerman
Floyd quotes by Floyd Red Crow Westerman
I mean the idea of this is that it's a good thing for the public to hear interviews like this and that there will be an inevitable amount of fewer interviews if people that the press talks to wind up thinking, well, it's not really a CBS correspondent. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
But it's me taking a stand for something that means something. And it's for the fighters who are up and coming. It's sort of the same stance Martin Luther King and Malcolm X made, so we could have freedoms, so everybody could tell the world that we're equal. The only thing I'm saying is that we are equal. So if you're not on nothing and I'm not on nothing, then let's go take the test. That's all I'm saying. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
When I've seen my operas in Europe, they have always struck me as more American than when I hear them here. I can't tell you what that phenomenon is. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
And I am not frightened of dying
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime

If you can hear this whispering you are dying

"The Great Gig in the Sky ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
They call it golf because all the other four letter words were taken. ~ Raymond Floyd
Floyd quotes by Raymond Floyd
There's only one rule: The guy who trains the hardest, the most, wins. Period. Because you won't die. Even though you feel like you'll die, you don't actually die. Like when you're training, you can always do one more. Always. As tired as you might think you are, you can always, always do one more. ~ Floyd Landis
Floyd quotes by Floyd Landis
I know how I could beat myself: by not being disciplined, by slacking, by not dedicating myself to my craft, by not working hard, by not listening, by thinking I know it all - short like that. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
The Bible has done more harm than any other book in the world. ~ William Floyd
Floyd quotes by William Floyd
Neurophysiologists will not likely find what they are looking for, for that which they are looking for is that which is looking. ~ Keith Floyd
Floyd quotes by Keith Floyd
Although his playing career with the Broncos took place before my time with the team, I am well aware of what Floyd Little means to this franchise, city and league. Aside from his stellar play on the field, he helped make the Broncos relevant in the NFL and strengthened the bond between this team and its fans. He has waited a long time for this honor, and I couldn't be happier for him. ~ Pat Bowlen
Floyd quotes by Pat Bowlen
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I've done some things that I shouldn't have done but I know I'm not a bad person, and I know that I can become a better person ... Only thing I can do is work at it. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Pressure ... I love it. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd Paterson? Boy, he's the complete opposite to me. He no way like me.They go down in history for just being athletes. I'm getting more praise and credit for doing what I'm doing now on this show than coming here and beating five of your English champions. ~ Muhammad Ali
Floyd quotes by Muhammad Ali
There are so many ingredients that are contained in 'The Wall' that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from 'Animals,' which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense. ~ Nick Mason
Floyd quotes by Nick Mason
Life is the gift, itself. And any other additions, are the blessings! ~ Floyd Williams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Williams
I don't know, when I was a kid, when I would see shows that changed my life, I would go to see shows where there was my mother taking us to see classic rock concerts, like Zeppelin, or when I saw Pink Floyd or when I saw, you know, when I was a little older, and I saw Nine Inch Nails, and I saw The Cure. ~ Jared Leto
Floyd quotes by Jared Leto
When it's all said & done only God can judge me. I'm going to go out there on 5/5 to give my fans what they want to see. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there's a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn't work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he's a journalist and not a police agent. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, because that was new music for me. I really hadn't been up on them. I mean, I'd heard of them, but I wasn't up on their music. And I kept listening to Radiohead, and I was like, Man, I want to make hip-hop that feels like Radiohead. I want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together. ~ Will Ferrell
Floyd quotes by Will Ferrell
Fiction about mining has a long tradition - Emile Zola's 'Germinal' and Upton Sinclair's 'King Coal' come to mind - and most readers will be aware of the industry's harsh conditions. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Spring irises bloom.
The caged bird no longer sings -
the knee on his throat. ~ Kamand Kojouri
Floyd quotes by Kamand Kojouri
There's no blueprint on how to beat me. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else here
Feel the way I do ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
Maidana is a young, strong and tough competitor. He's a guy that I can't overlook. You can never take any fighter for granted because anything can happen. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
In question-and-answer sessions after a reading or during an interview, I forget the question if I'm giving too long an answer. And at the end, I can't remember any of the questions. The more anxious I am about remembering, the more likely I am to forget. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
Music seems hard-wired into our very being. It moves us, stirs us to action, sets us in motion, sticks in our memories and minds. ~ Floyd Skloot
Floyd quotes by Floyd Skloot
There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact it's all dark. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
I think television is one of the last real bastions of the white beauty standard, but still in many industries the workers can be replaced by someone who's willing to play the game or who looks like the person in charge. And this is a problem for all women, not just women of color. ~ Jami Floyd
Floyd quotes by Jami Floyd
I once lost five years listening to a Pink Floyd album. ~ Jim Butcher
Floyd quotes by Jim Butcher
I've been knocked down more than any heavyweight champion in history. ~ Floyd Patterson
Floyd quotes by Floyd Patterson
I was interested in what was really going on in Salem at that time, and I resolved to investigate this seemingly unorthodox treatment of the people and the period. ~ Carlisle Floyd
Floyd quotes by Carlisle Floyd
There is no dark side of the Moon.
It's all dark, really. ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
Here we have a situation where a defendant in a case agrees to an interview with Dan Rather. It happened to be not confidential. But it was an interview with Dan Rather. ~ Floyd Abrams
Floyd quotes by Floyd Abrams
Your body is your temple. You do your body good, your body will do you good. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Long you live and high you'll fly, and smiles you'll give, tears you'll cry and all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be ~ Pink Floyd
Floyd quotes by Pink Floyd
I think my gift expressed itself in every way possible. When I was a little child, my mother said I used to draw on the walls. ~ Floyd Norman
Floyd quotes by Floyd Norman
Every day as a kid, I went to the boxing gym. I knew boxing before I knew anything else. And I was once told if you show your child how to do something and you constantly push them, then eventually they'll become masters. They'll become a master of their craft. So that's probably what happened with me and the sport of boxing. ~ Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
Floyd quotes by Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
The Reverend Elmer Gantry was reading an illustrated pink periodical devoted to prize fighters and chorus girls in his room at Elizabeth J. Schmutz Hall late of an afternoon when two large men walked in without knocking.
Why, good evening, Brother Bains - Brother Naylor! This is a pleasant surprise. I was, uh - Did you ever see this horrible rag? About actoresses. An invention of the devil himself. I was thinking of denouncing it next Sunday. I hope you never read it - won't you sit down, gentlemen? - take this chair - I hope you never read it, Brother Floyd, because the footsteps of - ~ Sinclair Lewis
Floyd quotes by Sinclair Lewis
George Floyd's pleas awakened this world that has been rendered comatose by fear of contagion and all of a sudden nothing mattered but justice. ~ Aysha Taryam
Floyd quotes by Aysha Taryam
