Famous Quotes & Sayings

James D. Watson

As a child, I lived with being punier than other boys in class. The only consolation was my parents' empathy - they encouraged constant trips to the local drugstore for chocolate milk shakes to fatten me up. The shakes made me happy, but still, all through grammar school, other kids shoved me around.

Adriana Trigiani

Waiting for the end, boys, waiting for the end.

J. G. Ballard

At the school I attended, the clergyman who ran the cathedral school in Shanghai would give lines to the boys as a punishment.

But I found that rather than laboriously copying out something from a novel by Charles Dickens, it was easier if I made it up myself.

Jim Lovell

Boys like either dinosaurs or airplanes. I was very much an airplane boy.

Lucas Neill

I got into this thing called the National Youth Theatre, and to me, that was all about the status quo.

Bill O'Reilly

Lisa Bonet

Once a week we go to juvenile hall and talk to boys there. Just go and spend a day in the juvenile courts.

Times were a little faster this year, however, so I wasn't too disappointed that the boys didn't take all of the top five spots. We ran a very patient race... it was really more of a warm-up for us.

Ezekiel Emanuel

Our dad hugged us and kissed us so much that some friends and relatives complained that he was going to turn us into sissies or homosexuals. But my dad didn't care. Let them raise their kids in a reserved and reticent way. He grew up in Israel, and his boys were going to be hugged and kissed by their father and know they were loved.

Rachel Nichols

They say that women dress for other women, but I don't think that's entirely true. If we want to look flossy out-and-about on a Friday night, we're dressing for the boys - and it's nice when they notice.

Cassandra Clare

I think as women we've always been very used to growing up reading and identifying with male protagonists, especially in fantasy. There's a saying in publishing that girls will read about boys, but boys will only read about boys, and it's important to give women strong heroines.

Ted Naifeh

Salma Hayek

You know how macho boys get when they're all together? Well, the set of 'Desperado' was like that. They were all trying to put me down, saying, 'Bring on the stuntwoman, Salma can't do that.' But I did everything.

I think we kicked 4.6 in the third quarter, and seven points straight in the last - but the boys were pretty tired so I am going to take that into account, certainly in the last quarter.

I think we played a great game. Even though we were scoreless in the second quarter the boys didn't quit.
