records goes-on facts
I just kinda like playing. I don't necessarily go on tour to promote my albums. I'm on the road all the time. The fact that I have a new record is out is a coincidence. David Sanborn
records bros
Get down with your old Allman Bros. records! Bryan Ferry
records may littles
I am fond of history and am very well contented to take the false with the true. In the principal facts they have sources of intelligence in former histories and records, which may be as much depended on, I conclude, as anything that does not actually pass under ones own observation; and as for the little embellishments you speak of, they are embellishments, and I like them as such.

When you're young, all the accidents, all the pain you take them; but at least you're very strong. In fact through time, it's just adding more and more pain; more and more loss, and it makes you more fragile. Carole Bouquet
strong
Too strong for that Bron Bron. Carlos Boozer
strong moving eye
Fright is something one can never get over. When a warrior is caught in such a tight spot he would simply turn his back to the ally without thinking twice. A warrior cannot indulge thus he cannot die of fright. A warrior allows the ally to come only when he is good and ready. When he is strong enough to grapple with the ally he opens up his gap and lurches out, grabs the ally, keeps him pinned down and maintains his stare on him for exactly the time he has to, then he moves his eyes away and releases the ally and lets him go. A warrior, my little friend, is the master at all times Carlos Castaneda
strong heart journey
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you. Carlos Castaneda
strong children cutting
I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow. Agnetha Faltskog
strong sex men
There are many men - such as those often to be found among the Indians - who are refined until they have qualities often attributed to the female sex. Yet they are men, and strong ones. Agnes Smedley
strong couple years
The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen. Agnes Varda
strong war men
I know people could tell incredible stories. People have been in concentration camps, or women being raped, or a man going to war and not recovering from it. People have been robbed and beaten. A lot of people have had strong events in their life, which I didn't. Agnes Varda
strong directors needs
You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles. Agnes Varda

When you hear bad things about yourself, just put your energies into something else; it's no good crying about it. Just put it into your music - it'll make you stronger. Janet Jackson

A concept is stronger than a fact. Charlotte Perkins Gilman

We don't know where the markets are going....we have to observe what's going down, see the trends, look at every vibration on the market, prepare the technology and jump when consumers start to think one way or the other Carlos Ghosn

three cinema use
When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language. Agnes Varda
three walked
When I walked in to read with Edie Falco, it was nice, because I auditioned in New York, and it was very quick. You walk in, there's Edie, the producers, the director, and a camera. I read three scenes, and it was done. Adam Ferrara
three kind i-can
I can find only three kinds of business in the Universe: mine, yours, and God's. Byron Katie
three foolish young
But it is very foolish to ask questions about any young ladies — about any three sisters just grown up; for one knows, without being told, exactly what they are — all very accomplished and pleasing, and one very pretty. There is a beauty in every family. — It is a regular thing Jane Austen

Gareth Bale literally has three lungs Jamie Redknapp
three four finished
In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. Alain Prost

The three-ball is an easy shot if you're uncontested, but when they know you can shoot, it's a lot harder to get off. Chris Copeland

There are three essential factors in all human activity: spirit, materials, and action. Chiang Kai-shek

The other three have really made strides. They're consistently getting better. Bill Wright

Whenever you have a tight schedule, you sort of have to film whatever you can that day. Jason London

I am a little nervous with strangers. But I'm not tight inside. I think I am impulsive. Jose Carreras

I have to admit I can be pretty high strung and tightly wound. Laura Fraser

In tight quarters, it's important to choose small-scale items. Candice Olson
