Benches Quotes - Page 9

• I believe in goal-setting. I don't care what it is. If you want to drop 10 pounds, increase your bench press, jump higher, or win a Super Bowl, you have to set that goal for yourself before you go out and achieve it. I think you have to regulate it, and see how you're building toward it every single day. Am I getting closer to that ultimate goal? Am I doing everything I possibly can today to be successful? I'm always very cognitive of my goals.

• For being a bad student I was banished to the 'calaboose' - a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping

• One main problem with raising awareness of LGBT abuse is the denial. The term "domestic violence" is perceived as something akin to alcoholism, ("I don't sit on a park bench drinking") and people do not see that they are perpetrating or are a victim of DV because they have a set idea about what it is.

• What I tend to do is to wake about five in the morning-this happens quite often-think about the invention, and then image it in my mind in 3D, as a kind of construct. Then I do experiments with the image...sort of rotate it, and say, 'Well what'll happen if one does this?' And by the time I get up for breakfast I can usually go to the bench and make a string and sealing wax model that works straight off, because I've done most of the experiments already.

• A learned County Court judge in a book of memoirs recently said that the overwhelming amount of his time on the bench was taken up with people who are persuaded by persons whom they do not know to enter into contracts that they do not understand to purchase goods that they do not want with money that they have not got.

• No sé si te ha pasado alguna vez, pero es una de mis experiencias más divertidas y tristes, cuando entras en un hotel, y tienen una ducha accesible. Entras y abres la cortina, y hay un banco al lado de la ducha. Sin embargo, la ducha es rectangular. En un lado hay un banco, pero los grifos están enfrente. Así que si te sientas en el banco, no puedes alcanzar los grifos.

• If you accuse me of being on drugs because I'm very focused on what I do, because I'm very serious, because I'm very hungry, because I can squat 800 lbs, because I can bench 500 lbs, because I can press 315 behind my neck, and if these things don't fit under what you consider to be natural, then I don't want to be a natural. I don't want to be what you depict as a natural. I want to define myself for me.

• As a bench coach in Anaheim I used to sit down below with Sosh (Scioscia) on that little area, and then when you'd get up on top, it was an entirely different vibe, man. Two, three steps up, it's a different vibe. You feel everything.

• At 200 pounds, with a 17-inch neck, a resting pulse of 78, a bench press of 200 pounds, I was very much indeed a normal, All-American male. I carried my sickness within.

• I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum's Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the program which I most desired to see was the one described as ‘The Boneless Wonder’. My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralizing and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench.

• Have you ever noticed how few sitting places you find in private gardens? How seldom the versatility and importance of benches is considered? True gardeners, with their peerless taste, dexterity and inspired planting, never stop . . . To sit is almost an offence, a sign of depravity and an outrage towards every felicitous refinement that has gone into making a garden.

• I suffered no pain, my hunger had taken the edge off; instead I felt pleasantly empty, untouched by everything around me and happy to be unseen by all. I put my legs up on the bench and leaned back, the best way to feel the true well-being of seclusion. There wasn't a cloud in my mind, nor did I feel any discomfort, and I hadn't a single unfulfilled desire or craving as far as my thought could reach. I lay with open eyes in a state of utter absence from myself and felt deliciously out of it.

• Nos levantamos y nos despedimos, pero el amor y la desesperación se interpusieron entre nosotros como dos fantasmas, uno extendiendo sus alas con los dedos sobre nuestras gargantas, uno llorando y el otro riendo horriblemente. Cuando cogí la mano de Selma y me la llevé a los labios, ella se acercó a mí y me depositó un beso en la frente, luego se dejó caer en el banco de madera. Cerró los ojos y susurró suavemente: "¡Oh, Señor Dios, ten piedad de mí y repara mis alas rotas!

• We depend on our surroundings obliquely to embody the moods and ideas we respect and then to remind us of them. We look to our buildings to hold us, like a kind of psychological mould, to a helpful vision of ourselves. We arrange around us material forms which communicate to us what we need — but are at constant risk of forgetting what we need — within. We turn to wallpaper, benches, paintings and streets to staunch the disappearance of our true selves.

• Me senté en el banco junto a los sauces y a mi bollo de miel y leí Tritón. Hay cosas horribles en el mundo, es cierto, pero también hay libros estupendos. Cuando sea mayor, me gustaría escribir algo que alguien pudiera leer sentado en un banco un día no muy caluroso y pudiera sentarse a leerlo y olvidarse por completo de dónde estaba o qué hora era, de modo que estuviera más dentro del libro que dentro de su propia cabeza. Me gustaría escribir como Delany, Heinlein o Le Guin.

• Violet heard the coughing and came running back. She sank down on the bench beside Rose, putting her arm around the older girl and holding a handkerchief to Rose's lips. "What happened?" she asked Galen, her tone just shy of being accusatory. "I am so sorry, Your Highness," Galen said, backing away. "I made her laugh, and–" "You made her laugh?" Violet's eyes widened. "She hasn't laughed in weeks!" She smiled at Galen and gave Rose's shoulders a little squeeze.

• Pero es Posy, la hermana de cinco años de Gale, quien más ayuda. Se acerca a Octavia por el banco y le toca la piel con un dedo tentativo. "Estás verde. ¿Estás enferma?" "Es una cuestión de moda, Posy. Como pintarse los labios", le digo. "Se supone que es bonito", susurra Octavia, y puedo ver las lágrimas que amenazan con derramarse sobre sus pestañas. Posy lo considera y dice con naturalidad: "Creo que estarías guapa con cualquier color.

• Durante todo el día, Stargirl había estado soltando dinero. Era la Johnny Appleseed del cambio suelto: un penique por aquí, una moneda por allá. Tirado en la acera, colocado en una estantería o en un banco. Incluso monedas de 25 centavos. "Odio el cambio", decía. "Es tan... tintineante". "¿Te das cuenta de cuánto debes tirar en un año?" Le dije. "¿Has visto la cara de un niño cuando ve un céntimo en la acera?".
