You can call it a cheap shot, blind shot, a late hit; you can call it what you want and it should've been a suspension as far as I'm concerned! It's unbelievable that it's not a suspension! What it did, it gave meat to everybody that's against the National Hockey League-this'll be the poster boy...[while showing clips of controversial hits by Cooke over the years]!! You think he'd do this stuff against [Wayne] Gretzky, if [Dave] Semenko was there?! Do you think he'd do this against [Steve] Yzerman if [Bob] Probert was there?! NO! That's what I'm trying to tell you, he wouldn't do that stuff! (Don Cherry)
Sexual exhibitionism-homosexual or heterosexual-is anathema. The heroic and creative inner struggle of an older generation of Gay Greats, exemplified by the late Nobel Prize-winning novelist Patrick White, was in the Greek tradition: silent and stoic, principled yet private. View quote

Humility, if it comes at all, almost always comes too late. View quote
Stephen R. Lawhead
The importance to Smith of the overall set of values in which the economy operates is generally ignored by his followers in the late twentieth century. His economics, based upon individual self-interest, is remembered, but his moral framework is not. View quote
Paul Ormerod
On the eve of the election last month my wife Judith and I were driving home late in the afternoon and turned on the radio for the traffic and weather. What we instantly got was a freak show of political pornography: lies, distortions, and half-truths - half-truths being perhaps the blackest of all lies. They paraded before us as informed opinion. View quote
Bill Moyers
In the late nineties, Katy Grannan began making haunting photographs of people who had extraordinary inner yens to be seen by strangers. View quote
Jerry Saltz
Galleries began growing in both number and size in the late seventies, when artists who worked in lofts wanted to exhibit their work in spaces similar to the ones the art was made in. View quote

The thing about the Star Wars expanded universe that most impresses me is how the need for endless sequels has taken what was way back in the late Disco a fairly upbeat series where the good guys eventually prevailed and turned into a crapsack setting that's grimmer than the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Congo Wars I & II and the Mongol Conquests combined.

James Nicoll
I've spent so long trying to fly that it's too late to set out on foot. View quote
James Richardson
it came pretty late In a sense it is good. It won't get over my head. (Jeet Thayil)
If [Apple] is smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures. It should do that immediately before it's too late. View quote
John C. Dvorak
The ‘I think, therefore I am' of Descartes, the ‘I feel, therefore I am' of late eighteenth century Romanticism, and the ‘I possess therefore I am' of bourgeois man are dogmas, partial at that, incorporated to define a being that is incapable of defining itself. View quote
John Carroll
I am so far away from being the person I want to be. I am a terrible person and I am overwhelmed with guilt. I am paralyzed with shame and fear. If I work hard at improving myself each day, I may get a little tiny bit better, but I won't get much better-I'll never be great. It's too late for me. I've really blown it. View quote
John S. Hall
Ed walked away from the program feeling fortified and stapled. His brain was buzzing, the way it always did just after Jeopardy! He loaded up the microbus with Atlases and poseidons and headed for Pope County. "I've had it," he sang. "I've had it with puns, alliteration, Russian literature, Italian neorealism, meaningless cross-references, and laundry lists of nonsense. I shall drive without a license, without clothing, without direction, and if I make it to Arkansas, fine, and if I'm running late, if I'm running a numbers game, it doesn't matter, I shall keep on running. Yes, this is the answer. This is the ending. I shall keep on running, because a body in motion tends to stay emotional, and it's better to feel. Pain is better than emptiness, emptiness is better than nothing, and nothing is better than this." View quote
John S. Hall
Nokia and Research in Motion needed a modern operating system. They could have bought Palm or Android before Google did, but they didn't. Today, it's probably too late, and at the time they would have been criticized for overpaying, but as they say - shift happens. View quote
Marc Andreessen
There was a point in the late '90s where all the graduating M.B.A.'s wanted to start companies in Silicon Valley, and for the most part they were not actually qualified to do it. View quote
Marc Andreessen
I am working for the courage to admit the truth that Bertolt Brecht has written; he says, "It takes courage to say that the good were defeated not because they were good, but because they were weak." I cherish the mercy and the grace of women's work. But I know there is new work that we must undertake as well: that new work will make defeat detestable to us. That new women's work will mean we will not die trying to stand up: we will live that way: standing up. I came too late to help my mother to her feet. By way of everlasting thanks to all of the women who have helped me to stay alive I am working never to be late again. View quote
June Jordan
In spite of all our speeding it's still the style to be late. View quote

I recall what the late Tui Nayau said at his last Lau Provincial Council meeting on Ono, Lau, in October 2000: 'There can be no reconciliation or peace until the coup investigations are completed and the rule of law is upheld'. View quote
Koila Nailatikau
Regrettably, this Bill appears to remove everything that the late Tui Nayau worked for, that is respect for the rule of law and everything he stood for unity, tolerance and peaceful co-existence. (Koila Nailatikau)
Personally, I feel that if the Lau Provincial Council votes for this Bill it means that they are supporting the amnesty clause, which is what the whole Bill is about. Do they understand that what they are actually doing is agreeing in principle to the removal of the late Turaga na Tui Nayau and condoning the coup perpetrators who were the very thugs who removed the Tui Nayau and brought anarchy to Fiji in the year 2000. View quote
Koila Nailatikau
The amnesty period from May 2000 to March was the very period in which the late President was removed. View quote
Koila Nailatikau
For all I know this has come very late in the day and it's a bit too late ... Had my father been here, I believe he would have respected and upheld the rule of law. View quote
Koila Nailatikau
I spoke on this in Senate and I'll say it again - why wasn't this Bill brought about when my parents, the late Tui Nayau and Roko Tui Dreketi, were still alive? View quote
