Federal authorities have informed Martha Stewart's lawyers she will be indicted for her role in the ImClone insider trading scandal. Good news for Martha - stripes are back in this year. ~ Craig Kilborn
Insider quotes by Craig Kilborn
In a market economy, a main determinant of social standing is participation in the labor market and the associated willingness to 'self-commodify' (e.g., Esping-Andersen 1999), the latter term nicely emphasizing how market economies render all forms of worth, even self-worth, a function of market valuation. When individuals fail to self-commodify, they fall outside the most fundamental institutions of the society, thereby reducing them to nonentities and social ciphers. This is why a mere transfer of income to the underclass... is inconsequential in relieving feelings of social exclusion. If anything, such a transfer only draws attention to the initial failure to self-commodify. although a class map also embodies distinctions of social standing among those who have an enduring commitment to the labor market, the social divide between the underclass and all other classes looms especially large because it captures this fundamental insider-outsider distinction. ~ Ravi Kanbur
Insider quotes by Ravi Kanbur
He's got his cigarette going. He offers her one; this time she takes it. Brief match-flare insider their cupped hands. Red finger-ends.
She thinks, Any more flame and we'd see the bones. It's like X-rays. We're just a kind of haze, just coloured water. Water does what it likes. It always goes downhill. ~ Margaret Atwood
Insider quotes by Margaret Atwood
The incentive for the outsider is to attack the system right up to the moment he is co-opted by it. The incentive for the insider -and this took some getting used to- is to allow yourself to be attacked, and then co-opt your most ferocious attackers, and their best ideas. The effect on the system as a whole is to make it more stable, because everyone winds up working on its behalf. ~ Michael Lewis
Insider quotes by Michael Lewis
The struggle you see in the Republican Party today is the country club Republican versus the bowling alley Republican. Colin Powell brings us back to the country club image. He's an insider. He's a moderate. ~ Pete Du Pont
Insider quotes by Pete Du Pont
Is princess here?" Coach called from his office.
"The she-wolf has arrived!" Evan yelled back.
Coach emerged from his office and stood in front of us.
Oh God, he had the short shorts on again. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I found Caeden lying on my bed with both the dogs. He was talking to them and petting Archie behind his ears.
It was like our own little family. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
In every jurisdictional area that I can get my fingers on, I want to move us away from the Washington insider economy. ~ Jeb Hensarling
Insider quotes by Jeb Hensarling
Stop it," I smacked him. "What if that was some guy hitting on me? I swear you attract single females in a five mile radius like a fly to honey." –Sophie to Caeden ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I am not an outsider. I am an insider who discovered that everyone else had gone out. ~ Stephen J. Day
Insider quotes by Stephen J. Day
He barked a laugh before nudging my leg with his wet nose. "Ew, Caeden! You got wolf snot all over my leg!" I left him behind the bush as I stared at the wet mess on my leg. His barking laughter quickly turned to human laughter.
"Wolf snot?" he grinned.
"Yes, and it's all over my leg. It's gross," I complained. "Just because we can change into wolves doesn't mean we need to act like them all the time. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
The aggressive use of wiretaps is important: It shows that we are targeting white-collar insider-trading rings with the same powerful investigative tools that have worked so successfully against the mob and drug cartels. ~ Preet Bharara
Insider quotes by Preet Bharara
I spoke bluntly about what I had seen in a little over a year as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. To the apparent surprise of many in the room, I observed publicly that insider trading appeared to be rampant. ~ Preet Bharara
Insider quotes by Preet Bharara
Former Enron founder Ken Lay and CEO Jeffrey Skilling found guilty in the Enron case. Ken Lay is so guilty I'm surprised people aren't calling him Congressman Ken Lay. Wait 'till these guys find out in prison that insider trading has a whole new meaning. ~ Jay Leno
Insider quotes by Jay Leno
Under the appeals court ruling, the government must also show more than just friendship between people sharing in inside information in order to establish a benefit - one of the elements of proving insider trading. The court said the person passing on a tip must receive something of some consequence. ~ Anonymous
Insider quotes by Anonymous
But what if the great secret insider-trading truth is that you don't ever get over the biggest losses in your life? Is that good news, bad news, or both? ... The pain does grow less acute, but the insidious palace lie that we will get over crushing losses means that our emotional GPS can never find true north, as it is based on maps that no longer mention the most important places we have been to. Pretending that things are nicely boxed up and put away robs us of great riches. ~ Anne Lamott
Insider quotes by Anne Lamott
I had a choice. I could be an insider or I could be an outsider. Outsiders can say whatever they want. But people on the inside don't listen to them. Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas. People - powerful people - listen to what they have to say. But insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don't criticize other insiders. I ~ Elizabeth Warren
Insider quotes by Elizabeth Warren
Caeden grabbed my hand and grinned like a little boy in a candy shop. "Carnival time!" He drug me from the car and then behind him as he headed to a ring toss game. "I think I need to win my girl a prize," he said.
I laughed.
"What?" he shrugged. "It's like a rite of passage. Every boyfriend has to win his girlfriend a prize," he winked, turning my stomach to jelly. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Goodbye is goodbye, Caeden, it doesn't matter who you're saying it to," I turned around and sat down. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Thank you sensei," I crossed my arms over my chest as she locked up the door.
Gram chuckled and said, "Oh Sophie, your sarcasm never ceases to amaze me. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Wall Street has come a long way from the insider-dominated world that was blown apart by the Great Depression. ~ James Surowiecki
Insider quotes by James Surowiecki
Rich, famous, insider journalists do not want to subvert the status quo that so lavishly rewards them. Like all courtiers, they are eager to defend the system that vests them with their privileges and contemptuous of anyone who challenges that system. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Insider quotes by Glenn Greenwald
A smile spread across Amy's face. "Bryce Elliot did you make breakfast for yourself and Sophie?"
"Maybe," he said softly and with more volume, "You'll never get me to tell! ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
As students cross the threshold from outside to insider, they also cross the threshold from superficial learning motivated by grades to deep learning motivated by engagement with questions. Their transformation entails an awakening
even, perhaps, a falling in love. ~ John C. Bean
Insider quotes by John C. Bean
More bitta of... insider than outsider as for style of this here example of dubstep. ~ Deyth Banger
Insider quotes by Deyth Banger
I know publishing now more as an author than with occasional peaks inside those elite offices than as an industry insider. It was difficult publishing a novel the first time around, while working behind the scenes, knowing all that has to happen to make a book a success and to still make the leap as an author. ~ Jennifer Gilmore
Insider quotes by Jennifer Gilmore
I was a total fashion insider who became an outsider when I did bridal. ~ Vera Wang
Insider quotes by Vera Wang
And then something invisible snapped insider her, and that which had come together commenced to fall apart. ~ John Green
Insider quotes by John Green
While exile is not a thing to desire for the fun of it, there is an unexpected gain from it;the gifts of exile are many. It takes out weakness by the pounding. It removes whininess, enables acute insight , heightens intuition, grants the power of keen observation and perspective that the 'insider' can never achieve. ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Insider quotes by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Pushing his black-framed glasses up his nose, he said, "Today, we're going to start building cabinets. I've run out of storage areas and I thought this would be a good learning experience for you. You should see a sheet in front of you that shows that dimensions that I need. You can either make a plain cabinet or you can add detailing for extra credit. And Sophie?" He looked at me.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Please, I'm begging you, stay away from the power tools. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
To resist the urge to kick my grandma I grabbed a roll, ripped it in half, and proceeded to slather it with butter. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I followed him down the hall and into his room. He closed the door and tossed my dirty clothes into his hamper. "Don't do that! I'll take them home and wash them," I tried to grab for them but Caeden grabbed my hands instead.
"It's fine," he kissed the side of my mouth while I squirmed in his grasp.
"Caeden, your mom doesn't need to clean my dirty clothes."
"It's not a problem. Besides," he said huskily in my ear, "my mom doesn't do my laundry. I do my own, just like a big boy."
I laughed.
"And you know what else?" his lips brushed my ear.
"What?"
"I even make my own bed. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I love all insider memoirs. It doesn't matter whether it's truck-drivers or doctors. I think everybody likes to go backstage, find out what people think and what they talk about and what specialised job they have. ~ David Mamet
Insider quotes by David Mamet
President Obama signed a bill preventing members of Congress from profiting from insider trading. Didn't you think that was already illegal? ~ Jay Leno
Insider quotes by Jay Leno
I'm not an insider. I'm not on the board. I'm an outsider. That implies a certain kind of separation ... because the company can't, without an appropriate nondisclosure and trading rules, share confidential data with me that it would not share with any other shareholder. You could say that implies a certain kind of separation. ~ Steve Ballmer
Insider quotes by Steve Ballmer
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker. ~ Kevin Mitnick
Insider quotes by Kevin Mitnick
Somewhere deep insider her, the feeling of appreciation had begun to soothe and quiet all the other negative feelings. ~ Denesia Christine Huttula
Insider quotes by Denesia Christine Huttula
It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame. ~ Unknown Author 724
Insider quotes by Unknown Author 724
Insider trading by hedge funds has a long and distinguished history, dating to the days when people didn't know that there was such a thing as a hedge fund. ~ Gary Weiss
Insider quotes by Gary Weiss
Hey ya'll, you'll never believe what I just heard! Apparently some girl totally flipped out on the Ferris wheel."
I paled.
"Oh God, it was you wasn't it?" he looked at me and busted out laughing. "It figures. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I haven't changed - the public has. I'm an insider now, which is hilarious. ~ John Waters
Insider quotes by John Waters
Gram?" I asked. "You okay?"
"Damn men," she said. "I fell in the toilet."
I busted out laughing. Tears of laughter coursed down my face. "Oh God," I said, still laughing.
Caeden was blushing. Even his ears were red. "I did tell you I can never remember to put the toilet seat down. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Tiptoeing on a tightrope past insider trading laws may be deft and clever, but it doesn't make it right. ~ Andrew Ross Sorkin
Insider quotes by Andrew Ross Sorkin
He did not care for the lying at first. He hated it. Then later he had come to like it. It was part of being an insider but it was a very corrupting business. ~ Ernest Hemingway,
Insider quotes by Ernest Hemingway,
He started wrapping the fabric around my eyes and I laughed, "Caeden, what are you doing?"
"I think that's pretty obvious. I'm blindfolding you, silly girl."
He secured the knot on the back of my head. "You better not mess up my hair," I warned. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Everyone wants to be called an outsider so I'm a proud insider. If I was young I'd be in my parents' house shutting down the government on my computer. The new delinquent is the hacker. ~ John Waters
Insider quotes by John Waters
What
would be labeled as the casting of spells-such as sending a plague of locusts-when done by an outsider, is considered a miracle from God when accomplished by an insider. One problem with the "us and them" worldview is that it frequently condemns the behavior of outsiders and glorifies that of insiders, even when the behavior is exactly the same.
One ~ Joyce Higginbotham
Insider quotes by Joyce Higginbotham
Before I knew what was happening the game was starting. A guy from the other team looked me over. "But you're a girl," he yelled and looked over at his coach. "She's a girl!"
Bryce stood up in the stands. "No dip dumb shit! Of course she's a girl! She has boobies and a-" Caeden tackled Bryce before anything else could slip out of his mouth. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
The Loopt mobile app is all about giving you the latest local deals and insider tips. ~ Sam Altman
Insider quotes by Sam Altman
With enough insider information and a million dollars, you can go broke in a year. ~ Warren Buffett
Insider quotes by Warren Buffett
Most writers begin with accounts of their first home, their family, and the town, often from quite a hostile point of view-love/hate, let's say. In a way, this stepping outside, in an attempt to judge enough to create a duplicate of it, makes you an outsider ... I think it's healthy for a writer to feel like an outsider. If you feel like an insider you get committed to a partisan view, you begin to defend interests, so you wind up not really empathizing with all mankind. ~ John Updike
Insider quotes by John Updike
I turned to Caeden. "Holy hell, what happened while we were gone? Is it mating season for wolves?"
Caeden's blue eyes were wide. "Apparently so. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions. ~ Anne Lamott
Insider quotes by Anne Lamott
They're afraid of us?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, "they are. They can sense that we're a predator so they just… stay away."
"But we're not any different," I choked.
Caeden put one hand beside either side of my body against the wall. "Yes, we are Sophie." A dangerous look glinted in those cerulean blue eyes. "We're faster, stronger, and-" his voice turned deliciously husky. "Sexier."
His lips brushed against mine in a tantalizing gesture. "You're definitely sexier," I breathed. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Since my visit to the Hermitage, I had become more aware of the four figures, two women and two men, who stood around the luminous space where the father welcomed his returning son. Their way of looking leaves you wondering how they think or feel about what they are watching. These bystanders, or observers, allow for all sorts of interpretations. As I reflect on my own journey, I become more and more aware of how long I have played the role of observer. For years I had instructed students on the different aspects of the spiritual life, trying to help them see the importance of living it. But had I, myself, really ever dared to step into the center, kneel down, and let myself be held by a forgiving God?

The simple fact of being able to express an opinion, to set up an argument, to defend a position, and to clarify a vision has given me, and gives me still, a sense of control. And, generally, I feel much safer in experiencing a sense of control over an undefinable situation than in taking the risk of letting that situation control me.

Certainly there were many hours of prayer, many days and months of retreat, and countless conversations with spiritual directors, but I had never fully given up the role of bystander. Even though there has been in me a lifelong desire to be an insider looking out, I nevertheless kept choosing over and over again the position of the outsider looking in. Sometimes this looking-in was a curious looking-in, sometimes a jealous ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Insider quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
I work for a big newspaper, and I guess I'm an insider. I don't have the luxury of calling myself a foreign correspondent and just swooping in and then leaving. ~ Mark Leibovich
Insider quotes by Mark Leibovich
I feel like someone's going to see my hot pocket if the wind blows this thing up a bit."
I snorted. "Gram! ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
This document outlines our plan to perpetrate insurance fraud, insider trading, and character assassination.
... hopefully tripling our paycheck on this job.
Okay, see? Those words I understand just fine. Use them more often.
-Lieutenant Massey Reynstein & Captain Tagon ~ Howard Tayler
Insider quotes by Howard Tayler
It is okay to be an outsider, a recent arrival, new on the scene - and not just okay, but something to be thankful for ... Because being an insider can so easily mean collapsing the horizons, can so easily mean accepting the presumptions of your province. ~ Tan Le
Insider quotes by Tan Le
Flawless ... Tightly choreographed ... Shipstead gains entry into exclusive worlds and trains her opera glasses on private social rituals, as well as behind-the-scenes hanky panky ... Similar to classic ballet, the power of Astonish Me arises out of the pairing of a melodramatic storyline with scrupulously executed range of movement ... Shipstead sweeps you into this insider world of sweat, narcissism, and short-lived magic ... Transcendent. ~ Maureen Corrigan
Insider quotes by Maureen Corrigan
The problem today isn't low-quality journalism, it's too much noise. If one out of five 'Business Insider' stories is original, the other four would be culled. ~ Jason Calacanis
Insider quotes by Jason Calacanis
There is no difference in a country between military, economic, and political affairs. It's useful for Business Insider to divide things that way. That's useful for a college program. But a country is a country. How do you understand China's economy without China's army? If you take these all into account you're ready to explain a question like, "How come the US doesn't have a debt problem?" ~ George Friedman
Insider quotes by George Friedman
I will never be an insider. I want to be the champion of people who don't have insiders and lobbyists supporting them. ~ Pat Quinn
Insider quotes by Pat Quinn
It taught me that it is easier to be an insider as an outsider than to be an outsider as an insider. If a white guy chooses to immerse himself in hip-hop culture and only hang out with black people, black people will say, "Cool, white guy. Do what you need to do." If a black guy chooses to button up his blackness to live among white people and play lots of golf, white people will say, "Fine. I like Brian. He's safe." But try being a black person who immerses himself in white culture while still living in the black community. Try being a white person who adopts the trappings of black culture while still living in the white community. ~ Trevor Noah
Insider quotes by Trevor Noah
You go through one of the instructors' landscapes. My brother told me."
"Ooh,which instructor?" says Christina, suddenly perking up.
"You know, it really isn't fair that you all get insider information and we don't," Will says, glaring at Uriah.
"Like you wouldn't use an advantage if you had one," retorts Uriah.
Christina ignores them. "I hope it's Four's landscape."
"Why?" I ask. The question comes out too incredulous. I bite my lip and wish I could take it back.
"Looks like someone had a mood swing." She rolls her eyes. "Like you don't want to know what his fears are. He acts so tough that he's probably afraid of marshmellows and really bright sunrises or something. Overcompensating."
I shake my head. "It won't be him."
"How would you know?"
"It's just a prediction."
I remember Tobias's father in his fear landscape. He wouldn't let everyone see that.I glance at him. For a second, his eyes shift to mine. His stare is unfeeling.Then he looks away. ~ Veronica Roth
Insider quotes by Veronica Roth
He chuckled. "Most girls want jewelry. Instead you want a balloon. How did I get to lucky? Which color do you want?"
"That one," I pointed to a pale blue one.
The gray haired man running the balloon cart seemed to find Caeden and me very amusing.
"Mommy! Mommy!" A little kid behind me shrieked. "I want one! Boon! Boon!"
"No," she said, from the tone of her voice I could tell she was exhausted.
"Boon! Boon!" the little girl cried as the mom picked her up and balanced her on her hip.
I looked over at Caeden and saw him holding two balloons. He grinned. "What? I heard someone else wanted a balloon and I just can't resist a damsel in distress. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
But as I stood watching her, I realized how truly hard it was,really, to see someone you love change right before your eyes. Not only is it scary, it throws your balance off as well. This was how my mother felt, I realized, over the weeks I worked at Wish, as she began to not recognize me in small ways, day after day. It was no wonder she'd reacted by pulling me closer, frcibly narrowing my world back to fit insider her own. Even now, as I finally saw this as the truth it was, a part of me wishing my mother would stand up straight, take command, be back in control. But all I'd wanted when she was tugging me closer was to be able to prove to her that the changes in me were good ones, ones she'd understand if she only gave them a chance. I had that chance now. While it was scary, I was gong to take it.
~Macy, pgs 351 and 352 ~ Sarah Dessen
Insider quotes by Sarah Dessen
Loneliness is at the heart of Ender's Game, and the reason it works so well is because it carries with it the firm assurance that even though Ender never feels himself to belong,the reader knows he does belong, that he is the ultimate insider even though he stands outside. ~ Orson Scott Card
Insider quotes by Orson Scott Card
I awoke to a loud banging noise and sat straight up. I reached for the light, not to turn it on, but for a weapon. All I could think was that Travis had killed Caeden, and now he'd come for me. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Don't you two dare say a thing," she pointed a finger at us, straightening her skirt with the other hand. "Just bite your tongues."
"You look great, Lucinda."
"And you're a liar and should have your mouth washed out with soap," she tugged on the sleeves of her cardigan.
"Nice pearls," I pointed to her neck.
"Didn't I tell ya'll to bite yer tongues," Gram's southern drawl became more pronounced when she was irritated. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
No, no, no. No way!" I shook my head and looked at the offending black motorcycle. "I am not getting on that thing!"
"Sophie, it's a motorcycle, it doesn't bite."
I turned my head to look at the beast. "Really? It looks like it could bite, to me."
"Please, Sophie," he held out a helmet.
I crossed my arms over my chest. "What if I fall off?"
"You're supposed to hang on to me, Soph. What happened to my mighty little she-wolf?"
"She packed her bags and left," I said. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
I'm done," Bryce said, blood dribbling out of the corner of his mouth. "My bruises have bruises and those are quickly forming more bruises. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Guns can turn you into an insider even if you're an outsider by nature, recruiting you into a loose fraternity of people who feel embattled and defensive and are primally eager to win allies. ~ Walter Kirn
Insider quotes by Walter Kirn
Awards shows have devolved into self-parodies - liberals in limos, corny insider jokes delivered by the hosts among bad teleprompter reading from the some of the best thespians on the planet. ~ John Ridley
Insider quotes by John Ridley
Securities fraud generally and insider trading in particular should be eminently deterrable crimes. ~ Preet Bharara
Insider quotes by Preet Bharara
If Edgar sounded overeager, even rushed, the race was with his own temperament. He placed a premium on savvy. Yet since you could only obtain new information by admitting you didn't know it already, savvy required an apprenticeship as a naive twit. You had to ask crude, obvious questions ... you had to sit still while worldly-wise warhorses ... fired withering glances as if you were born yesterday.
Well, Edgar was born yesterday for the moment, although his tolerance for being treated liked a simpleton was in short supply. He'd needed to rattle off a multitude of stupid questions before he embraced his next incarnation as an insider. The trouble was that savvy coated your brain in plastic like a driver's license: nothing more could get in. Hence the point at which you decided you knew everything was exactly the point at which you became an ignorant dipshit. ~ Lionel Shriver
Insider quotes by Lionel Shriver
He leaned over, putting his hand on my face, and tracing my cheek with his thumb. "I will always take care of you." –Caeden to Sophie ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Well, we have to realize the truth about the person who is a hip-hop insider. Most of these people are not really insiders. They are people who are chosen to do an interview and they will make a statement and say that they are a part of the hip-hop culture, but from an intellectual standpoint, they are not very sharp, because back in '1990..'91 one would criticize somebody for doing one type of commercial and say that's not real hip-hop and then another rapper turns around and sell them malt liquor and say that's real hip hop. ~ MC Hammer
Insider quotes by MC Hammer
Where does one go in a tremendous city like Calcutta to find insider information? I recalled India's golden rule: do the opposite of what would be normal anywhere else. ~ Tahir Shah
Insider quotes by Tahir Shah
One of the traits of sophistication is the capacity to cross borders between different cultural relevancies. Humor is often, intentionally or not, the result if not the very technique of such border-crossing. Much of Jewish humor reflects a long history, perhaps all the way back to the Exodus, of Jews migrating between cultures. ... American Jewish humor functioned as a marker of insider sophistication. ~ Peter L. Berger
Insider quotes by Peter L. Berger
That is the lesson I have learned about our justice system and their war on insider trading. It doesn't matter what you did but what you do when they ask for your cooperation. ~ James Fleishman
Insider quotes by James Fleishman
Was that a sufficient distraction?"
"Oh yeah," I said breathlessly.
His husky laugh filled the cabin. "Just wait until we descent." –Caeden to Sophie ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
An island can be dreadful for someone from outside. Everything is complete, and everyone has his obstinate, sure and self-sufficient place. Within their shores, everything functions according to rituals that are as hard as rock from repetition, and at the same time they amble through their days as whimsically and casually as if the world ended at the horizon. ~ Tove Jansson
Insider quotes by Tove Jansson
I think you only really feel like an outsider if you've been an insider. ~ Sade Adu
Insider quotes by Sade Adu
I believe that everyone is a fashion insider, because it's illegal to be naked. ~ Kanye West
Insider quotes by Kanye West
I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider. ~ Hugo Weaving
Insider quotes by Hugo Weaving
Whenever you give up an apartment in New York and move to another city, New York turns into the worst version of itself. Someone I know once wisely said that the expression "It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" is completely wrong where New York is concerned; the opposite is true. New York is a very livable city. But when you move away and become a vistor, the city seems to turn against you. It's much more expensive (because you need to eat all your meals out and pay for a place to sleep) and much more unfriendly. Things change in New York; things change all the time. You don't mind this when you live here; when you live here, it's part of the caffeinated romance to this city that never sleeps. But when you move away, your experience change as a betrayal. You walk up Third Avenue planning to buy a brownie at a bakery you've always been loyal to, and the bakery's gone. Your dry cleaner move to Florida; your dentist retires; the lady who made the pies on West Fourth Street vanishes; the maitre d' at P.J. Clarke's quits, and you realize you're going to have to start from scratch tipping your way into the heart of the cold, chic young woman now at the down. You've turned your back from only a moment, and suddenly everything's different. You were an insider, a native, a subway traveler, a purveyor of inside tips into the good stuff, and now you're just another frequent flyer, stuck in a taxi on Grand Central Parkway as you wing in and out of La Guardia. M ~ Nora Ephron
Insider quotes by Nora Ephron
He tossed a helmet to me and said, "Please, no screaming this time."
"I'm making no promises Williams'."
He chuckled. "I'll probably lose all my hearing."
"What a shame," I said. "I think the punishment is just for forcing me on this… this… creature," I pointed to the bike.
He stuck the helmet on my head to shut me up. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
You need to shave," I said to wipe that gooey love struck look off his face. I didn't need my dad to kill him.
Caeden grinned and rubbed his stubbly chin. "But you love my scruff," he said and rubbed his jaw against my face to drive home the point. ~ Micalea Smeltzer
Insider quotes by Micalea Smeltzer
Octavia Butler often described herself as an outsider, but within science fiction, she was loved as an insider, someone who was a fan first and came to S.F. writing as an enthusiastic reader. ~ Karen Joy Fowler
Insider quotes by Karen Joy Fowler
The great glory of travel, to me, is not just what I see that's new to me in countries visited, but that in almost every one of them I change from an outsider looking in to an insider looking out. ~ Clara E. Laughlin
Insider quotes by Clara E. Laughlin
Evan slung his arm over my shoulder. "That's my mom and dad," he pointed to a couple approaching us as families trickled onto the field. "Mom! Get a picture of me and she-wolf?"
"Sure, sure," the strawberry blonde lady said, digging in her purse. "Aha! Here it is. I'm Elaine, Evan's mom," she announced to us. "Now smile!"
I smiled but just before the flash went off Evan kissed my cheek. I gasped in surprise, probably making the funniest face known to man.
Evan snatched the camera from his mom and laughed. "That is totally going to be my facebook profile pic. Take a look she-wolf."
He turned the camera so I could see the image on the screen.
Oh, God.
I narrowed my eyes and pointed a finger at Evan. "You better promise me that, that picture never sees the light of day."
"Well, technically it's already seen the light of day, seeing as it's the morning and all."
"Evan, you know what I mean."
"Fine," he lowered his head, "I won't post it on facebook."
"Or twitter, instagram, or any other picture sharing site. Got it? Maybe you should just delete it now?"

Remember the nature of knowing insider information. It's like a drug. It makes you feel both superior and special. But what if those rumors are false? And even if they are true, you didn't experience them firsthand, and there is most likely a slant to the story you know nothing about. ~ Mary E. DeMuth
Insider quotes by Mary E. DeMuth
Surround Yourself with Others Who Are Already Doing What You Want to Do

My all-time favorite success tip for people who tend to hesitate excessively is to regularly interact with people who are already successfully doing what you want to do. Why will this help you moderate your tortoise tendencies? Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors all tend to be socially contagious. Therefore, if you surround yourself with people who are already acting in the ways you need to act, this will likely rub off on you. You'll be more likely to take action.
Another key reason for interacting with others who are already succeeding in your field is that many of the key pieces of information that will help you succeed won't be shared in books or other public forums. They're likely passed from person to person. You'll get to know these insider secrets only by befriending successful people. ~ Alice Boyes

I think he's dead," Caeden said.
"No," I shook my head.
Caeden continued like I hadn't said anything. "And when I get my hands on Travis I'm going to make him suffer through every unimaginable thing before I kill him. And when I kill him I'm going to make sure he begs for mercy. He hurt you and if he's hurt or killed another member of my pack, none of you will be able to stop me. ~ Micalea Smeltzer

Are you gonna finish that?" I asked.
"Huh?" he said around a mouthful of roll.
Not bothering to wait for his answer I snatched his chicken.
"Hey!" he cried with a laugh.
I shrugged. "You snooze you lose." –Sophie to Caeden ~ Micalea Smeltzer

I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school. ~ David Shrigley
Insider quotes by David Shrigley
When I came to Delhi and noticed an insider view, I felt what it was, and I was surprised to see it. It seemed as if dozens of separate governments are running at the same time in one main government. It appeared that everyone has its own fiefdom. ~ Narendra Modi

My she-wolf," Caeden came up to me and kissed my cheek.
"Didn't I tell you never to call me that?" I smiled.
"I seem to remember that conversation but I chose not to listen to you."
"Ah, of course," I laughed. "Is this what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life? You not listening to me?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Caeden nodded. ~ Micalea Smeltzer

I am troubled that someone would sell a book, trading on their service as a government insider with access to our nation's most valuable intelligence, in order to profit from the suffering that this nation endured on September 11, 2001. ~ Bill Frist
