Before a big event, I usually go to church and light a candle for St. Sebastian, who is the patron saint of athletes.
I was never the big leaper, the dunker, the long and athletic kid who looked the part of a traditional basketball star. Truth be told, I wasn't even considered a top guard coming out of my recruiting class.
The muscular, athletic type is not representative of the human race, who are varied in their physique.
You cannot be from Atlanta and not know who Gucci Mane is, period.
Every artist that I got with me is really from the hood and really from Atlanta and really in the streets of Atlanta. Lotto Savage, Mookie Madri Gra, Freaky D$MG, that who I bring with me; that's all sides of Atlanta.
I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them.
I'm the priest who has been mistaken for an ATM machine.
Folks can't carry around money in their pocket. They've got to go to an ATM machine, and they've got to pay a few dollars to get their own dollars out of the machine. Who ever thought you'd pay cash to get cash? That's where we've gotten to.
I did not want to be labelled 'the designer who survived the atomic bomb,' and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.
We know that often holding those who have carried out mass atrocities accountable is at times our best tool to prevent future atrocities.
Many writers who have had to deal with the subject of atrocity can't face it head-on.
As a Jew, there's a need to keep that atrocity alive. There were Catholics and gypsies and homosexuals who died in the Holocaust, too. It's amazing that people allowed this slaughter to take place. There's a need to make these films and reiterate it happened.
Creative writing and shooting are muscles that atrophy. But when you work them, you become a self-generator who can branch out.
I am inclined to attach some importance to the new system of manufacturing; and venture to throw it out with the hope of its receiving a full discussion among those who are most interestedin the subject.
Action without a name, a 'who' attached to it, is meaningless.
Bigot: One who is obstinately and zealously attached to an opinion that you do not entertain.
Social engineering is using deception, manipulation and influence to convince a human who has access to a computer system to do something, like click on an attachment in an e-mail.
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
Two days after the Boston marathon bombings, there was a drone strike in Yemen attacking a peaceful village, which killed a target who could very easily have been apprehended. But, of course, it is just easier to terrorise people. The drones are a terrorist weapon; they not only kill targets but also terrorise other people.
Those who attain any excellence, commonly spend life in one pursuit; for excellence is not often gained upon easier terms.
