I'd somehow managed to get an executive stuck in a tree. Instead of a saucer of milk and 'Here kitty, kitty, kitty,' someone might want to bring a hedge fund and a recording of George Bush promising 'No new taxes. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
At least Ozymandias had a statue erected in his name. If I were to have died at that moment, the only thing I had managed to erect in my honor was a shrine to China's manufacturing capabilities. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
April is the cruelest month.' So begins T.S. Eliot's 1922 masterpiece, a 434-line poem titled 'The Waste Land.' Until my employment as a trail maintenance worker, this had simply been a line on a page, albeit a line fraught with metaphorical import and potential. Now I saw it for what it was - a big fat lie - because Eliot grew up in St. Louis and no one forgets what a Missouri summer is like. If the Nobel laureate had been truthful with himself, the opening verse would start out, 'June's a bitch. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
If owning frivolous articles of excess were indeed the trappings of malevolence, my home was ready to play host to the Axis powers. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
I had not been prepared for my employer's approach to vehicular navigation, which was a simple case of being unable to tell the difference between a very large, multi-windowed van that could accommodate a mobile disco and a Formula One racer. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
In the course of all of the compass-spinning twists, roller coaster hills, and sphincter-contracting turns, I hadn't noticed that we had stopped at the top of a very large ridge. The beginning of the trail was not pleasant, inviting, or even remotely civil; it was recreational molestation at its best. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
Few things in this world evoke scrotum-shriveling fear in a man like a group of frowning women, enraged to the point of atypical silence, ambling toward him with an obvious agenda. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
As soon as the first piece of foliage came within blade's reach, my student started frantically swinging the machete like he was defending his virtue from a trove of drunken, handsy woodland elves. 'I feel like I'm in the movie Predator,' he said as he decapitated a flower. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
My wife also contributed to my poison ivy education. She taught me women have an aversion to 'red, bumpy men' and are not the least bit aroused by any part of the male anatomy which happens to be infected. However, this was not a problem. My infestation was so severe, the act of scratching produced orgasmic waves of delight that made me consider scheduling weekly au naturel pilgrimages through lush, rolling fields of the devil vine. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
The NSA is correct, 1984 is now. ~ Michael Gurnow
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gurnow
In a bravura demonstration of stonewalling, righteousness, and hurt sincerity, Steve Jobs successfully took to the stage the other day to deny the problem, dismiss the criticism, and spread the blame among other smartphone makers," Michael Wolff of newser.com wrote. "This is a level of modern marketing, corporate spin, and crisis management about which you can only ask with stupefied incredulity and awe: How do they get away with it? Or, more accurately, how does he get away with it?" Wolff attributed it to Jobs's mesmerizing effect as "the last charismatic individual." Other CEOs would be offering abject apologies and swallowing massive recalls, but Jobs didn't have to. "The grim, skeletal appearance, the absolutism, the ecclesiastical bearing, the sense of his relationship with the sacred, really works, and, in this instance, allows him the privilege of magisterially deciding what is meaningful and what is trivial. ~ Walter Isaacson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Walter Isaacson
Some of my earliest work was in comics. I tend to think in pictures and always like to write scenes possessing the dynamic you find in comics. ~ Michael Moorcock
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Moorcock
Being an American doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a high wage. You have to be productive, and we have to create a very low-cost, efficient place to do business, and we've let all that slip in America. ~ Michael Porter
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Porter
I think we have got to get the Republicans and the Democrats to get back to what I call the fiscal conservative, the issues that drive the tea parties. ~ Michael Enzi
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Enzi
Science is as corruptible a human activity as any other. ~ Michael Crichton
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Crichton
You can capture me with your beauty, only if you are a brilliant photographer. ~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Bassey Johnson
Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart. ~ George Michael
Michael Gurnow quotes by George Michael
Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things. ~ Michael Graves
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Graves
No system in history capitalism has been more relentless in battering down ancient and fragile cultures, devouring the resources of whole regions, pulverizing centuries-old practices in a matter of years, and standardizing the varieties of human experience. ~ Michael Parenti
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Parenti
Every day is like a kid's drawing, offered to you with a strange mix of ceremoniousness and offhand disregard, yours for the keeping. Some of the days are rich and complicated, others inscrutable, others little more than a stray gray mark on a ragged page. Some you manage to hang on to, though your reasons for doing so are often hard to fathom. But most of them you just ball up and throw away. ~ Michael Chabon
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Chabon
As night fell, the prehistoric landscape came alive with sound: howling and shrieking, screaming, calling and barking. "I've suddenly realized why all of these animals died out," Scathach ~ Michael Scott
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Scott
On the one hand Twitter gives you the opportunity to engage with people, which is great, but on the other there are people who feel they can say whatever they want, put poison out there, really, without fear of any repercussions. ~ Michael Sheen
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Sheen
I always try to take projects I'm genuinely interested and passionate about versus just trying to take projects for the money. ~ Michael Dougherty
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Dougherty
I think I would love a shot at remaking 'The Philadelphia Story,' as daunting as it is. I still think it's fantastic. I love the '30s comedies because they're allowed to be both comic and elegant, and the women are so complicated in them. ~ Michael Patrick King
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Patrick King
I went over to Regine's to interview Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5. He's very tall now, but he has a really high voice. He had a big guy with him, maybe a bodyguard and the girl from The Wiz ~ Andy Warhol
Michael Gurnow quotes by Andy Warhol
A lot of men not only fear emotional pain, they are afraid to be transparent and vulnerable. To let an outsider even glimpse their confusion or suffering is a taboo that starts in adolescence and becomes more entrenched with adulthood. ~ Michael R. French
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael R. French
A good trader has to have three things: a chronic inability to accept things at face value, to feel continuously unsettled, and to have humility. ~ Michael Steinhardt
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Steinhardt
There are people that I am in love with, totally in love with them. I would die for them. I love Michelangelo. I love Charlie Chaplin with all my heart. I love Walt Disney. These are the people I am nuts over. These are my people. I love the great ones. ~ Michael Jackson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Jackson

It wasn't Glen's jealousy that surprised him. "You owe Roy money?"
"Yep. Borrowed it to get my truck painted."
"Roy's a loan shark, too?"
"You ever see JAWS?" Snakebite asked.
Glen said he had.
"How 'bout THE GODFATHER?"
"Yeah."
"Well, if Michael Corleone waded out in the ocean and fucked that shark, then you'd have old Roy."
from the Tom Franklin short story "Grit" (page 31) from POACHERS:STORIES ~ Tom Franklin
Michael Gurnow quotes by Tom Franklin
I heave the basketball; I know it sails in a parabola, exhibiting perfect symmetry, which is interrupted by the basket. It's funny, but it is always interrupted by the basket. ~ Michael Jordan
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Jordan
...she would have walked all the way up to East Sixty-Third Street, and probably 163rd Street, if it meant pouring even more into this memory that wasn't a memory. ~ Michael Callahan
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Callahan
Michael Brown's death and the suffocation of Eric Garner in New York for selling untaxed cigarettes indicate something is wrong with criminal justice in America. ~ Rand Paul
Michael Gurnow quotes by Rand Paul
How do you keep war accountable to the American people when war becomes invisible and virtual? ~ Michael Ignatieff
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Ignatieff
I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style. ~ Michael Sheen
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Sheen
If there's any other message in this to readers, it's in these two characters as icons of hope, that it doesn't make any difference where you come from, or where you went to school, or who you are, there's hope. That a kid from Jersey with Superman as the icon that kept him alive for years would one day end up writing the character is as absoutely unlikely as it is utterly inevitable. And if that's true for me, it's true for you, if you follow your dreams and your passions in full flight.
Don't give up.
No Limits.
It's never too late to learn to fly. ~ J. Michael Straczynski
Michael Gurnow quotes by J. Michael Straczynski
Ever since going up to university, I have accumulated new debt, and new means of becoming indebted. ~ Michael Gove
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Gove
Life goes on. And so does death. ~ Michael L. Martin Jr.
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael L. Martin Jr.
We haven't got to the Sunflowers yet, said Michael.
No, we haven't, she said. You're right. OK, so Vincent hoped to set up an artists' studio down there in the South because he was keen to have friends and like-minded people around him.
I think he was probably lonely, said Michael. What with the ear thing and the darkness.
I think he was, too, said Dora. 1888 was the year, and he was waiting for another artist to join him, a man called Paul Gauguin. People say that, in all probability, he painted the Sunflowers as decoration for Gaugain'S room. Did lots of versions of them too, not just this. It's a lovely thought, though, isn't it? Some people say it's not true but I like to think it is. Painting flowers as a sign of friendship and welcome. Men and boys should be capable of beautiful things.
Never forget that, you two, she said, and she disappeared into the kitchen. ~ Sarah Winman
Michael Gurnow quotes by Sarah Winman
I know some actors feel classes are not cool or they create negative public relations, but I continue to crave the story just beyond my reach. To grasp that brass ring I need to continue to fine-tune my talents. ~ Michael Welch
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Welch
If you look in the dictionary under 'white trash' there's a picture of my family."
from BREAKFAST WITH NERUDA, p 37 ~ Michael Flynn
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Flynn
Swear to God, you come near us and–"
"Like this?" The biker sidestepped a slash from the hockey stick, grabbed it on the way, and yanked it out of Eve's hands. He tossed it over his shoulder to land on the floor with a clatter. "This near enough? Whatcha gonna do, doll girl?"
Claire hid her eyes as the biker reached out for Eve with one tattooed hand.
"No," Eve said breathlessly. "I'm going to let my boyfriend beat the crap out of you."
There was a dull thunk of wood meeting flesh, and a howl. Then another, harder thunk, and a crash as a body hit the floor.
The biker was down. Claire stared at him in disbelief, then looked past him, to the figure standing there with the field hockey stick in both hands.
Michael Glass. Back from the dead, again, a gorgeous blond avenging angel, breathing hard. ~ Rachel Caine
Michael Gurnow quotes by Rachel Caine
I think sometimes you just need to play in this league. As a rookie coming out of college, you don't understand the real significance of being a pro unless you're playing other pros. It doesn't help you to play sporadically here or there. ~ Michael Cooper
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Cooper
Elric: We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

John Sheridan: Such as?

Elric: The true secrets, the important things. Fourteen words to make someone fall in love with you forever. Seven words to make them go without pain. How to say good-bye to a friend who is dying. How to be poor. How to be rich. How to rediscover dreams when the world has stolen them. That is why we are going away - to preserve that knowledge.

Sheridan: From what?

Elric: There is a storm coming, a black and terrible storm. We would not have our knowledge lost or used to ill purpose. From this place we will launch ourselves into the stars. With luck, you will never see our kind again in your lifetime. I know you have your orders, Captain. Detain us if you wish. But I cannot tell you where we are going. I can only ask you to trust us. ~ J. Michael Straczynski
Michael Gurnow quotes by J. Michael Straczynski
He had never been in love. He had not known what it would feel like. He understood what the term meant, but his life had not allowed for exploring its possibilities. There had been few he had really loved. His parents; Michael. That was it. And that was love of a different kind. Less intense, less hungry. What he felt for Simralin went so far beyond anything manageable that it shocked him. He could tell himself it was because he had found her beautiful in a way that transcended anything he had ever known. But his attraction to her was a response to so much more. To her self-confidence and way of speaking. To her smile and the quirky way she lifted one eyebrow when she was amused. To the way she carried herself. To the way she looked at him. ~ Terry Brooks
Michael Gurnow quotes by Terry Brooks
I've always been a player that likes to get round the back and get crosses in for other people. When I first burst on to the scene some people only saw the goals I was scoring. More recently they've taken notice of the goals I've set up. It is nice to be recognized for that. ~ Michael Owen
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Owen
There is no reason for a civilian to have an automatic weapon. ~ Michael Nutter
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Nutter
For me, the goal is always to write a novel that I myself would like to read. People frequently ask me what my favorite book is, and in effect, there's always a capital-F Favorite, capital-B Book that I would like to write myself someday. I try to go for that ideal of writing the best, most entertaining, most beautifully written book that I possibly can. ~ Michael Chabon
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Chabon
Don't trust in
anything that has life, else you'll
lose your life and dive into a bee
hive, and get stung.. ~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Bassey Johnson
First of all, there's no mention of political parties in the Constitution, so you begin American history with not only no political conventions but also no parties. ~ Michael Beschloss
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Beschloss
Anybody who trusts an electronic voting machine should have their head examined. ~ Michael Ruppert
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Ruppert
We can't exempt ourselves from the same moral calculus that we are willing to apply to others. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
We go where our family goes. We go where our friends are, and because our social networks are so segregated by race, we end up with what we have. We also find that, you know, if you're immigrants, you're not part of that history. ~ Michael Emerson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Emerson
The measure of a country's prosperity should not be how many poor people drive cars, but how many affluent people use public transportation. ~ Michael Hogan
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Hogan
Life's not easy, it is a hard task to live it well and with grace - but, by Hades, let's not complicate it with deities and water-nymphs! ~ Michael Moorcock
Michael Gurnow quotes by Michael Moorcock
Kobe Bryant will be better than Michael Jordan ~ Mark Jackson
Michael Gurnow quotes by Mark Jackson
Some say God created the world out of loneliness. Others say the world was created because the Almighty loves stories. I believe the world was created because God has a sense of humor and a love for adventure. When creation was completed, God saw that it was good, and God laughed! Then God rested. Michael Moynahan says the Almighty had to rest because of laughing so hard over the whole thing. ~ R. Mark Liebenow
