Finished Quotes

One day, when I was doing well in class and had finished my lessons, I was sitting there trying to analyze the game of tic-tac-toe... The teacher came along and snatched my papers on which I had been doodling... She did not realize that analyzing tic-tac-toe can lead into dozens of non-trivial mathematical questions Picture Quote #1

The fact is I am growing old too fast, alas! I feel it, and yet work I will, and may God grant me life to see the last plate of my mammoth work finished Picture Quote #1

But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor Picture Quote #1

Bob [Sachs] is not the only client who wants a more finished look. People from out of state still see the ‘Old West,’ mining-camp look as new and exciting, but most don’t want splinters [from unfinished wood] in their houses. The taste is more grown-up Picture Quote #1

My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you’ve finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it’s time to start lunch, and by the time you’ve done that, you’re doing dinner and thinking, ‘There has to be a menu we can order from.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m still playing ‘GTA;’ the online multiplayer is just fantastic. ‘Titanfall,’ if you can actually get on, is really good, and I just finished the ‘Left Behind DLC,’ which again, it’s one of those games where you put the controller down once you finish and just need to take a break! Picture Quote #1

Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It’s like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of being in a band, but I do want to continue making records and performing, at least a little bit. Making the records isn’t always fun. It’s fun to be finished with them. Making beautiful things can be quite painful Picture Quote #1

Around the time I opened my second restaurant, Etta’s, I had just finished judging at the Jack Daniels World Invitational BBQ Championship in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Back home in Seattle, my goal was to recreate the sweet and smoky taste of that BBQ using our local wild king salmon instead of pig Picture Quote #1

Even if you need, and want, a second opinion, it can be dangerous to have people telling you what they think you ought to add, or cut, before you’ve even finished telling your story. One loses heart; one loses energy and interest. Or at least I do Picture Quote #1

I didn’t set out to write a book with no real male characters, but men were not important to my narrator, who was much more interested in maternal and pseudo-maternal love, so they were unimportant to me. I didn’t even notice the lack of men in the story until I finished it. But once I did notice it, I was kind of delighted. Apparently, my subconscious is totally sexist Picture Quote #1

In terms of why everything is different, each book is different than the one before because I’m so bored of what I just finished I want to work on something different. The next book becomes an antidote to what I did before Picture Quote #1

Also, after Examined Life was finished I found myself thinking about the way creative opportunities and distribution channels were shifting. Should I be showing my films in theaters or just think about getting them out online? There were other issues, too Picture Quote #1

Theater is all about the rehearsal process. In fact, I think a lot of times opening night there’s a mixed sadness because you’re finished with a lot of people’s favorite part of the process, which is finding the character and discovering it, and then you get to live it Picture Quote #1

Never accept yourself as a finished product. Be a finished product when you die. As long as you have breath in your lungs, expand yourself Picture Quote #1

I haven’t won a World Cup. There’s things that haven’t been finished, and I’m not afraid to fall flat on my face trying Picture Quote #1

When I finished [writing it], I was crying. I knew at long last, after ten years of trying, I had written something good Picture Quote #1

Someone said that life is a party. You join in after it’s started and leave before it’s finished Picture Quote #1

In the realm of Greater Understanding, the workshop is dismantled after the work is finished Picture Quote #1

There are people who are uncanny, who are finished products at a young age. I wasn’t, thank God Picture Quote #1

You would have thought that after 9/11 the president would have finished the job in Afghanistan, and kept the focus on capturing Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda deputies, but he and his team gave top priority to their original plan to invade Iraq Picture Quote #1

By the time I finished the book [All Alone in the Universe], Robin Roy was saying, More pictures! Picture Quote #1

Laissez-faire is finished. The all-powerful market that always knows best is finished Picture Quote #1

When you’ve finished the film and everybody’s already made back all their money, everybody just leaves you alone and I’m very happy. That’s what it has to be like Picture Quote #1

I just directed another picture called ‘American Dream’ with Nick Stahl. Just finished shooting principal photography right before I started [‘Lincoln’] Picture Quote #1

I wrote and finished the script for ‘Man in the Middle’ two weeks after the September 11 bombing. It’s a very American film about an ex-diplomat based in the Middle East, a leader in the U.S. administration who now sells used cars in the Middle East Picture Quote #1

Baseball and American football and hockey are all ahead because they have a history. The MLS is kind of new. So hopefully, in time, and with players coming and trying to develop the game, and the U.S. team also doing well - at the last World Cup, they finished above England and created some buzz Picture Quote #1

I’m not somebody that keeps the thing in her heart. I can get very angry for five minutes, but then it’s finished. Once I’ve yelled, it’s over Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to play stinking, beer-ridden clubs. It depresses me even thinking about that. I really hate it when you’re finished with a show and you’re in your dressing room with that stink of beer and sweaty girls. It brings back an ugly picture for me. I’d hate to have to do that again Picture Quote #1

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it’s not necessarily evident in anything that’s finished Picture Quote #1
