Indoors Quotes - page 2

When I first started playing, everything was outdoors. They were home-made community rinks. I played one game a year indoors. That would be the championship. (Andy Bathgate)
Our hockey team consisted of boys seventeen and eighteen years old and I used to watch them play all the time on the outdoor rink. On this one day, I remember it was very cold and I was looking at the game while standing indoors with my back against a stove. The goalie was having trouble and the coach accused him of not doing his best. The goalie was mad and took his skates off. I rushed toward the coach and volunteered to take his place. There was no other goalie around, so I went in the net and played with them the rest of the season. View quote

Here I am, Philip, am I indoors or am I out? Do I take my hat off or keep it on? View quote
Frank Lloyd Wright
I've cut way back on animal products (especially dairy), and I try to only eat organic. Because of Alicia [Silverstone], I'm way more conscious of what I put in my mouth and also about how my dollar is spent. Her book The Kind Diet was a real eye-opener for me. ... [In the film Vamps] Alicia and I play vampires who abstain from human blood. So we were very kind in that we weren't killing people and drinking their blood! ... All the people in my life joke that I'm vampire in real life. Not because I drink blood or anything but because I prefer to stay indoors with the blinds closed. I'm not really a SUN person. I come out of my coffin (bedroom) when the sun goes down. View quote
Krysten Ritter
I do not go outdoors. Not more than I have to. As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of living in New York City is indoors. You want greenery? Order the spinach. View quote
David Rakoff
I was so grateful to have made 'Into the Wild' before I made 'Speed Racer' because on 'Speed Racer' I was indoors every single day, every single scene, on a green screen. Some of the time, just to pass the time, I would think back to climbing mountains in Alaska. That really helped me. View quote
Emile Hirsch
I think I tried to separate indoors and out. And so when he beat me indoors, I did not see that as letting anybody down, I saw it as a good head to head competition, and so it was. It was fine. View quote
Ralph Boston
You know growing up in Sweden meant we had a lot of rain when we played tennis. We were taught on clay courts but because of the weather, we had to go indoors a lot. View quote
Bjorn Borg
And when Hugh would grow progressively Gandhi on me, I'd remind him that these were pests---disease carriers who feasted upon the dead and then came indoors to dance upon our silverware. View quote
David Sedaris
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums. Graffiti has more chance of meaning something or changing stuff than anything indoors. Graffiti has been used to start revolutions, stop wars, and generally is the voice of people who aren't listened to. Graffiti is one of those few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make somebody smile while they're having a piss. View quote
Banksy
The weapons that were once outside sharpening themselves on war are now indoors there, in the fortress, fragile in glass cases. (Margaret Atwood)
The weapons that were once outside sharpening themselves on war are now indoors there, in the fortress, fragile in glass cases; Why is it (I'm thinking of the careful moulding round the stonework archways) that in this time, such elaborate defences keep things that are no longer (much) worth defending? View quote
Margaret Atwood
And now she was back in the world, not one she could make, but the one that had made her, and she felt herself shrinking under the early evening sky. She was weary of being outdoors, but she was not ready to go in. Was that really all there was in life, indoors or out? Wasn't there somewhere else for people to go? View quote
Ian McEwan
I've got to wear sunglasses everywhere, all the time, even if its indoors or at night time, to be recognized. That's part of my job. I cannot take off my sunglasses. For me, staying in the United States was so dark because I can't take them off. View quote
Psy
I've been saying the Occupy Movement has got the ball rolling, and now we need to take the fight to the great indoors! View quote
Ani DiFranco
It is in this unearthly first hour of spring twilight that earth's almost agonized livingness is most felt. This hour is so dreadful to some people that they hurry indoors and turn on the lights. View quote
Elizabeth Bowen
She is like a great writer, with the power to read people; I was influenced by her. But hers wasn't a life where you could sit indoors with books. View quote
Kyung-sook Shin
When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13. View quote
Dhani Harrison
By reading Huckleberry Finn I felt I was able to justify my act of going into the mountain forest at night and sleeping among the trees with a sense of security which I could never find indoors. View quote
Kenzaburō Ōe
The legends are legends. Dead, hung up indoors, the kingfisher will not indicate a favoring wind, or avert the thunderbolt. Nor, by its nesting, still the waters, with the new year, for seven days. It is true, it does nest with the opening year, but not on the waters. View quote
Charles Olson
Sei Shonagon feels modern, almost a proto-feminist in such a paternalistic age that women at court stayed, for the most part, silent and still and available indoors all their lives. She said much, and she said two electrifying things from the still darkness of her domestic prisons. She said them of course very much in her own way, but she said there were two things in life that were absolutely essential, and life would be unbearable without them: the sensuous body and literature. My crude summation would be sex and text. Both have the X factor. She said them with longing and her longing stayed with me. (Sei Shōnagon)
