The blaze of reputation cannot be blown out, but it often dies in the socket a very few names may be considered as perpetual lamps that shine unconsumed. (Samuel Johnson)
I saw a DJ from Germany called Sven Vath. I saw him in the club, he played for six hours and I was just totally intrigued, because everything he played I'd never heard before and everything he did I'd never seen before. I was so blown away by what he did. View quote

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster. View quote
J. J. Abrams

My remorse is not for having seized the weapon and struck the blow, it is that I owe to him - to him - that infamous good service which he did me - that I cannot to the present hour shake from me the horrible gift I have received from that man. (Paul Bourget)
Under a forehead roughly comparable to that of the Javanese or the Piltdown man are visible a pair of tiny pig eyes, lit up alternately by greed and concupiscence. His nose, broken in childhood by a self-inflicted blow with a hockey stick, has a prehensile tip, ever quick to smell out an insult; at the least suspicion of an affront, Perelman, who has the pride of a Spanish grandee, has been known to whip out his sword-cane and hide in the nearest closet. View quote
S. J. Perelman
Toward good men God has the mind of a father, he cherishes for them a manly love, and he says, "Let them be harassed by toil, by suffering, by losses, in order that they may gather true strength." Bodies grown fat through sloth are weak, and not only labour, but even movement and their very weight cause them to break down. Unimpaired prosperity cannot withstand a single blow; but he who has struggled constantly with his ills becomes hardened through suffering; and yields to no misfortune; nay, even if he falls, he still fights upon his knees. View quote
Seneca
What should a wise person do when given a blow Same as Cato when he was attacked not fire up or revenge the insult., or even return the blow, but simply ignore it. View quote
Seneca
The universe is female Eluding the science of men You sway and you swagger with your neat little dagger You're gonna blow it again .... I'll prove her existence in everything The soul of her rivers and stones Her acquiescence in everything Her essence, her presence, her bones. ~ Essence. View quote
Steve Kilbey
I think, ofttimes, that lives of men may be Likened to wandering winds that come and go Not knowing whence they rise, whither they blow O'er the vast globe, voiceful of grief or glee. View quote
Paul Hamilton Hayne
People become so deeply attached to the sound of one period that they blow a fuse when you move on. I've heard people complain bitterly about recordings they haven't even heard. View quote
Elvis Costello
Boys can be disgusting. You can't leave us alone for any length of time because we will burn something, blow something up or paint something. We're just obnoxious. View quote
Tim Allen
I don't think that I've been in love as such, although I liked a few folk pretty well. Love must be vaster than my smiles or touch, for brave men died and empires rose and fell. For love, girls follow boys to foreign lands, and men have followed women into hell. In plays and poems someone understands, there's something makes us more than blood and bone. And more than biological demands for me love's like the wind unseen, unknown. I see the trees are bending where it's been. I know that it leaves wreckage where it's blown. I really don't know what "I love you" means. I think it means don't leave me here alone... View quote
Neil Gaiman
Well, for Blow I had to age from 20 to 60, starting out in shape and then later putting on fat pads. View quote
Ray Liotta
Lebanon was at one time known as a nation that rose above sectarian hatred; Beirut was known as the Paris of the Middle East. All of that was blown apart by senseless religious wars, financed and exploited in part by those who sought power and wealth. If women had been in charge, would they have been more sensible? It's a theory. (Roger Ebert)
After the blast of lightning from the east, The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot Throne; After the drums of time have rolled and ceased, And by the bronze west long retreat is blown, Shall Life renew these bodies? View quote
Wilfred Owen

Stephen Colbert
Dying bless the hand that gave the blow. View quote
John Dryden
Sure I'll miss it. But I'm not enough of a lunkhead to think I could go on forever. Tunney, Dempsey and Bob Jones missed the action of their games for a while, but not for long. I guess the tough part will be when the bunch blow in and I'll be up there in the stands looking on. But on the other hand I won't be dragging those aching dogs and bum legs over those hard diamonds. I can do what I want now. I'll stay and loaf here until April and then head North again. But I'll take the trip in one jump-not twenty. View quote
Babe Ruth
