When I started playing, I played in R&B bands. I played James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and all that. ~ Neil Peart
Pickett quotes by Neil Peart
Up men to your posts! Don't forget today that you are from old Virginia. ~ George Pickett
Pickett quotes by George Pickett
I'd start to sing, and the record would start skipping. You'd be skipping along with it. Those were the days, my friend. We'd look so stupid, but the kids loved it. ~ Wilson Pickett
Pickett quotes by Wilson Pickett
General Lee, I have no division. ~ George Pickett
Pickett quotes by George Pickett
Because you loved me. Before I was anything. Before I was at all lovable, you loved me. I won't forget. ~ S.D. Smith
Pickett quotes by S.D.   Smith
Soul ain't nothing but a feeling. ~ Wilson Pickett
Pickett quotes by Wilson Pickett
A different day. – Even if the experiment of Biblical times supported the argument that it is the abuse of light wines and beer, not their use, which is reprehensible, we must remember that we are dealing with a modern problem. In the time of Jesus in Palestine filth that is now disposed of through modern sewerage systems was tossed from the windows into the street. Shallow wells spread disease, and water was considered positively dangerous, as it to-day in some countries where similar social conditions exist. It may be that to run the risk of typhoid by drinking water contaminated by filth; but to-day in America pure water may be had in abundance.(1926) ~ Deets Pickett
Pickett quotes by Deets Pickett
In Hollywood, between enthusiasm and money lies the Sahara Desert. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
INT. KAMA'S HIDEOUT - EVENING
The interior of KAMA'S hideout is pitch black. The sound of water dripping. A brief shaft of sunlight reveals TINA, sleeping lightly on the floor in her coat.
NEWT: Tina?
She wakes. A moment as NEWT and TINA stare at each other. Each has thought of the other daily for a year. With no sign of KAMA, it seems she has been rescued.
TINA (joyful, disbelieving): Newt!
TINA notices KAMA entering in the background and raising his wand. Her expression changes.
KAMA: Expelliarmus!
NEWT'S wand flies out of his hand into KAMA'S. Bars form across the door, imprisoning them.
KAMA (through the door): My apologies, Mr. Scamander! I shall return and release you when Credence is dead!
TINA: Kama, wait!
KAMA: You see, either he dies . . . or I do.
He claps a hand to his eye.
KAMA: No, no, no, no. Oh no. No, no, no.
He jerks convulsively and slides to the floor, unconscious.
NEWT: Well, that's not the best start to a rescue attempt.
TINA: This was a rescue attempt? You've just lost me my only lead.
JACOB launches for the door, trying to break it down.
NEWT (innocent): Well, how was the interrogation going before we turned up?
TINA throws him a dark look. She strides to the back of the cave.
Pickett, who, unnoticed, has hopped out of NEWT'S pocket, successfully picks the lock, and the bars swing open.
JACOB: Newt!
NEWT: Well done, Pick.
(to TINA) You need thi ~ J.K. Rowling
Pickett quotes by J.K. Rowling
I tapped a forefinger to my temple and raised my glass of single-vineyard Foxen Pinot. "Between here and here lies the Rubicon of the imagination. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
I snapped to consciousness with the incandescent realization that somewhere, deep in our dreams, or deep in unconsciousness, or deep in the afterlife, all conflicts and acrimonies are resolved. That it was consciousness that so unrelentingly afflicted us with suffering. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
That's what my dad is like-he really disappeared a long time ago, which is maybe why it didn't bother me much. I wish he were here, but I've wished that for a long time. Adults think they're wielding power, but really power is wielding them. ~ John Green
Pickett quotes by John Green
You're such a cheater. The best wood in your golf bag is your pencil! ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
General Pickett, finding the battle broken while the enemy was still reinforcing, called the troops off. ~ James Longstreet
Pickett quotes by James Longstreet
Wine is so complex, I mused. Thousands of experts and hundreds of thousands of amateur experts would rhapsodize or vilify the vinification of these seemingly simple bunches of grapes. But in the end, it was just these innocuous clusters, photosynthesis, rain or no rain, cool ocean breezes, alluvial soils, that produced these epiphanies in the bottle hundreds and thousands of miles away. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
Miles, it's only morning and you're already drunk."

"No, I'm not," I weakly protested. "I'm just thirsty. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
And?" I crossed my arms over my chest. I almost tapped my foot waiting for him to answer, but caught myself and held my foot still. That would have been weird - way too much like my mother. ~Milayna ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
My children are grown-ups., so you and Noah are my only little boys I have left. ~ John Green
Pickett quotes by John Green
Will you, Eva? WIll you risk everything to see David? Because that's what you'll be doing"
"I'm not risking anything. Theres nothing here I want if I cant have him. ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
I forced a swift smile, then turned back to my glass, salvation and sanctuary viniferously bundled into one. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
We'll make a bunker hill of it. ~ George Pickett
Pickett quotes by George Pickett
When I showed up at UH, my hair was past my waist. I had a goatee. I wasn't a theater geek; I wasn't an actor. But Cecil Pickett molded me and taught me. ~ Brett Cullen
Pickett quotes by Brett Cullen
What are you doing?" my mom asked. One side of her mouth curled up.
"I'm trying to move that cup."
My parents laughed. I concentrated on the coffee cup, but it didn't budge.
"I guess I'll have to work on this telekinesis thing. It'll come in handy when Ben is hogging the TV remote and forcing me to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the fifty-millionth time. ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
I was working in the lab late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab began to rise And suddenly to my surprise ... He did the mash He did the monster mash The monster mash It was a graveyard smash ... ~ Bobby Pickett
Pickett quotes by Bobby Pickett
I like short poems with weird rhyme schemes, because that's what life is like. ~ John Green
Pickett quotes by John Green
There are many influences in my music, not only blues. R&B, Motown, gospel, old timey, jazz, even classical are all part of what I do. I started with classical, then country, then blues, and after that I started listening heavily to Motown and gospel. My earliest efforts as a songwriter were soul. Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Fontella Bass are just a few of the names that come to mind as the God's of soul and Motown. ~ Rory Block
Pickett quotes by Rory Block
I never thought I'd get a chance to sing with Wilson Pickett but we did. ~ Eddie Floyd
Pickett quotes by Eddie Floyd
I can't kill myself, I thought. I'm too insignificant. I'm nothing. I'm a thumbprint on the first-floor window of a skyscraper, a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea along with millions of tons of raw sewage, a squirrel eating a nut as a car bore down on him. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
We all have the same 24/7. What we do with our time becomes our priority. Choose what you do with your time and do not lead a life by default ~ Patt Hollinger Pickett
Pickett quotes by Patt Hollinger Pickett
Polypharmacology and curmudgeonliness were keeping her alive. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
I plan to join the 'SNL' band as a maraca player and stand behind saxophonist Lenny Pickett. That way they will at least cut to me before commercial breaks. I'll be sure to look right into camera. ~ John Mulaney
Pickett quotes by John Mulaney
Be careful. They're here for you," he murmured over his shoulder before slipping into the classroom. ~Chay ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
Maya, Indian goddess of illusions. Siren of shipwrecked sailors. If only you lactated Pinot Noir, you'd be perfect. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
Pickett excused himself, watchful of Longstreet. Pickett was always saying something to irritate somebody, and he rarely knew why, so his method was simply to apologize in general from time to time and let people know he meant well and then to shove off and hope for the best. He apologized and departed, curls ajiggle. ~ Michael Shaara
Pickett quotes by Michael Shaara
I used to always have a pretty high, little clear voice, but as I got older, I got a little cornbread in it. ~ Wilson Pickett
Pickett quotes by Wilson Pickett
Miss Pickett...Lucy ~ for the love of heaven, may I call you Lucy? I've saved you from a ghost and a vamp attack. I've seen your naked back, and this marks the second time you've slept in my bed. ~ Nancy Campbell Allen
Pickett quotes by Nancy Campbell Allen
If we want to experience the glory of God in our lives continually, we will always need to be seekers of His presence. Have we experienced the presence of God in certain places or through particular devotional and worship patterns? Are we expecting always to find our Beloved there? If we are sensing a lack of His presence, it may be that He wants us to seek Him in new ways or with greater intensity. Seeking Him reveals our true desire for His glory. Perhaps He hides Himself simply so that He can take delight in our desire for Him.
Many ~ Fuchsia T. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Fuchsia T. Pickett
Seeing your past - or a person from your - can for me at least be physically painful. I'm overwhelmed by a melancholic ache - and I want the past back, not matter the cost. It doesn't matter that it won't come back; that it never even actually existed as I remember it - I want it back. I want things to be like they were, or like I remember them having been: Whole. But she doesn't remind me of the past, for some reason, she feels present tense ~ John Green
Pickett quotes by John Green
Put your hands on your hip, let your back bone slip. Do the Watusi, like my little Lucy. ~ Wilson Pickett
Pickett quotes by Wilson Pickett
The visions scared me. And I was scared to tell anyone about them. I didn't want them to think I was a freak. Maybe I was. That scared me, too. ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
Well, it is all over now. The battle is lost, and many of us are prisoners, many are dead, many wounded, bleeding and dying. Your Soldier lives and mourns and but for you, my darling, he would rather, a million times rather, be back there with his dead, to sleep for all time in an unknown grave. ~ George Pickett
Pickett quotes by George Pickett
Randy Newman seemed like an even worse singer than me. I liked Ray Charles, Levi Stubbs, Jack Jones, Joe Tex, Wilson Pickett. ~ Donald Fagen
Pickett quotes by Donald Fagen
I write because I read...
I read because I write
~Unknown ~ Michelle K. Pickett
Pickett quotes by Michelle K. Pickett
I can't see why we can't toss in a Junior Walker or Wilson Pickett number in every once in a while. ~ Jose Carreras
Pickett quotes by Jose Carreras
This book has the best quote describing the feeling of getting drunk. "I was starting to get drunk now, and I was clinging with my fingertips to the last vestige of decorum. Soon, however, I knew there would come that moment when, without anyone's bidding, I would slip through a crack in the floorboards and find myself rowing across the River Styx with my demon entourage, and not until morning would I fully be able to assess the consequences". Perfect. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
Pinot Noir country. My grape. The one varietal that truly enchants me, both stills and steals my heart with its elusive loveliness and false promises of transcendence. I loved her, and I would continue to follow her siren call until my wallet--or liver, whichever came first--gave out. ~ Rex Pickett
Pickett quotes by Rex Pickett
Do you even know how to use one?' he asked. "The sharp part at the bad guys?' 'That's the general idea. ~ S.D. Smith
Pickett quotes by S.D.   Smith
Do not look at yourself with disgust, you are a gift to this earth. You are beautiful, you are a light, an energy, an essence. You are nature herself. ~ Heidi Pickett
Pickett quotes by Heidi Pickett
The truth was loose: I was the son of a son of a bitch, an ancestral prodigy born to clobber my way through loathsome dungheaps of idiot labor. My genes were cocked and loaded. I was a meteor, a gunslinger, a switchblade boomerang hurled from the pecker dribblets of my forefathers' untainted jalopy seed. I was Al Kaline peggin' home a beebee from the right field corner. I was Picasso applyin' the final masterstroke to his frenzied Guernica. I was Wilson Pickett stompin' up the stairway of the Midnight Hour. I was one blazin' tomahawk of m-fuggin' eel snot. Graceful and indomitable. Methodical and brain-dead. The quintessential shoprat. The Rivethead. ~ Ben Hamper
Pickett quotes by Ben Hamper
Atlantic's Jerry Wexler believes first-rate records are made by first-rate voices. He certainly has worked with enough of them: Clyde McPhatter, Joe Turner, La Vern Baker, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin. ~ Jon Landau
Pickett quotes by Jon Landau
Berry Gordy believed in owning the artist for life and controlling everything: the money, the station wagons, everything. ~ Wilson Pickett
Pickett quotes by Wilson Pickett
Jonah Pickett was like snow days, field trips, candy stores, and Christmas Eve all blended into one big swoosh of a feeling -Felicity Pickle ~ Natalie Lloyd
Pickett quotes by Natalie Lloyd
I wish I had your talent, David."
"I like that," he said with a small frown.
"What? That I think you're talented?"
"No. I like how my name sounds on your lips."
David and Eva ~ Michelle K. Pickett
