Poetry is more a threshold than a path.
Thrillers are like life, more like life than you are.
Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot.
There is nothing more thrilling in this world, I think, than having a child that is yours, and yet is mysteriously a stranger.
Thrills are much more about anticipation than action. An unfired bullet is more dangerous than one that has already met its target.
We did more to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions with a computer virus than we ever could have with bombs (and we did still more with diplomacy - the abandonment of which is also bad for our military, because militaries can only stop a problem, not fix a problem).
TSA serves as the operator, administrator and regulator for the nation's transportation security. But in fact, the TSA bureaucracy does all it can to thwart any conversion to a system with more private-sector operations and strong federal oversight and standards. This agency cannot, and should not, do it all.
The need to exert power, when thwarted in the open fields of life, is the more likely to assert itself in trifles.
I think people in our party tie themselves up in pretzels trying to be more electable.
We are more tied to our faults than to our virtues.
Film is a very tight little box. If you don't fit in that box, you're gone. Television, there's more room to move around.
The U.S. has been living in a situation of excesses for too long. Consumers were out spending more than their income and the country was spending more than its income, running up large current-account deficits. Now we have to tighten our belts and save more.
Countries with deficit don't want to pay the bill, and they want to get more loans, and countries with superiority, they don't want to help the countries with problems, and they just want them to tighten their belts.
When you drop weight, the closer you come to the fight, the more your muscles tighten up.
At the time, my personal research objectives were to provide Keynesian economics with more rigorous foundations and to tighten and elaborate the logic of macroeconomic and monetary theory.
Congress has greatly tightened the loopholes terrorists can use to harm Americans. We need to do more. We need controls immediately on what forms of ID are adequate to board planes and enter secure sites.
I wasn't sold on 3-D until it was in my own home. The images jump out at you, even more so than in the theater, because you're in tighter quarters and you're closer to the TV, so it feels like the depth is very dramatic.
It's interesting that instead of having to get tighter and more restricted for a collaboration, strangely enough, from the beginning, we've actually been more confident that we could handle this.
Going on with life, it only gets more and more intense as time goes by - and the challenges only multiply.
Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200!
