He (the painter Manet) hits of the tone.... but his work lacks unity and temperament too. (Paul Cézanne)
He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious. View quote
Yogi Berra
I spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a.223 caliber round which is 5.56mm at about 3000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It's designed for that. That's what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don't think there's any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America. View quote
Stanley A. McChrystal
Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short. View quote
Golda Meir
Mo: Ginger, how can you think about sex at a time like this? Madmen are about to destroy the earth! Ginger: Can you think of a better time? I don't know about you, girl, but I want to have a G-spot orgasm before Armageddon hits. View quote
Alison Bechdel
With any luck, by the time NASA's space probe hits Pluto, you'll be booking a spaceflight with a privately run suborbital airline. View quote

I don't remember a thing There's fresh in my mind I've got a weakness bump on my head When a rock hits me harder, I'm dead. View quote
Maia Mitchell
In Hollywood, the rainbow hits the ground for composers. View quote
Hoagy Carmichael
A British pressing with a compilation of the best stuff really, I mean actually not only that but, these were all kind of semi hits for the people on it in America. View quote
Eric Clapton
It's the emotion of it that hits me, more than anything technical. View quote
Meg White
That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking. (Sarah Dessen)
It's always very pure, that last moment before an ugly, unsettling truth hits someone. The most stark of before-and-afters. View quote
Sarah Dessen
No one is beat till he quits, no one is through till he stops. No matter how hard failure hits, no matter how often he drops, a fellow's not down till he lies in the dust and refuses to rise. View quote
Edgar Guest
Book #10: A Book of Travellers' Tales. As it hits the water its pages detach themselves from the covers, which sink... and the pages form themselves into small paper boats that float away on the tide. View quote
Peter Greenaway
Book #8: The Vesalius Anatomy of Birth. As it hits the water, it screams and spurts blood like a pierced heart -- as it sinks, there is a suggestion of entrails. View quote
Peter Greenaway
The American Dream can come in many different ways for many different people. It doesn't have to come in the way they explain it to you. Now, the American Dream can come if a guy hits the lottery. Who in the world thought he would hit a lottery? That's the American Dream for him. But I look at it from day one, moving up the ladder, and moving up the ladder. Now you get to the top of the ladder and you have to look back. How did you get to that ladder? To me, that's the American Dream. View quote
Willie Mays
Well, I think they're all basically the same story. Every culture in the world has them. When you strip it down and analyze it, it's the young man or girl who goes through a trial or ordeal and hits a very low ebb but manages to get guidance from a Merlin type figure. View quote
Liam Neeson
Even a fool learns something once it hits him. View quote
Homer
I do not care about home runs. The pitch is always away from me and it is foolish to try to pull this pitch for a home run. The pitcher does not wish it so, and I don't try. I am not foolish. Only in Philadelphia I think maybe I will try for the home run, but I do not think so even in L. A. I make the hits which the pitcher cannot stop, and that is better than striking out and will drive out the pitcher, too. View quote
Roberto Clemente
They've been knocking me down all season in the National League and I've still gotten my share of base hits. View quote
Roberto Clemente
Everybody, they say Roberto just swings the bat and hits the ball. I work hard. No one works harder than I do. People think things come easy to me. They don't. (Roberto Clemente)
To hit in, it's okay; for power, it's not. If you get a line drive in this park, you're in good shape. It's best to hit to right field in this park because of the wall." He explained that balls bounding off and around the right field wall produce more extra base hits. He also said that he doesn't try for the home run. "If I tried hard, I might hit 20 to 25 homers a year. But if you hit for a high average, you will help the ball club more. View quote
Roberto Clemente
Everybody started cheering but I didn't know why. I didn't know what was going on until I looked at the scoreboard and saw the message. When I singled in the first inning, the second base umpire told me, "If you get another hit it looks like I'll have to give you the ball." I wondered what he was talking about. I have so much bad press in Pittsburgh. Whatever I have done, I have done myself, and with the help of the fans. When somebody like Richie Hebner hits a home run, the press gives him a big build-up. All they say about me is that I am hard-headed and don't get along with anybody. View quote
Roberto Clemente
I can't think of average. I have to go for the long ball. We have only Stargell to hit homers. You need more than one man. We have the best leadoff man in baseball in Matty Alou. He will get on base. We have to get the long hits. View quote
Roberto Clemente
Last year when I hurt my shoulder, I couldn't hit high pitches, but they kept throwing me low and away, and I could hit that pitch without much pain. "Look, he gets three hits, but he says he's in pain," they say, but they don't know that I can't go for the high pitch, and I'm not about to tell them! View quote
Roberto Clemente
