Magic is the only way to describe it, climbing pitch after pitch of the most perfect, beautifully sculpted granite in the world Picture Quote #1

It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off I don’t know of any illegal behavior, but will people push the envelope and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client’s goals? Absolutely. Every day, in fact Picture Quote #1

It is not just about the money, it is about what you achieve on the pitch Picture Quote #1

When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it Picture Quote #1

There is a direct parallel in the way that we speak, with natural variations of pitch and volume that give full meaning to our words. This is what is missing in the words on the page of a book, and the notes on the score Picture Quote #1

Players that aren’t true leaders but try to be, always bash other players after a mistake. True leaders on the pitch already assume others will make mistakes Picture Quote #1

The nation in arms is virtually a communist state: the people must be paid wages and fed and protected and regimented behind the lines as much as on the front. Minds must be kept loyal and at the right pitch of hate, so that successive drafts of fighters are accepted without murmurings. Letters and newspapers must be censored while the propaganda mill grinds on. As for decisions of strategy and overall command, they must please many masters: dissenters in the cabinet, the heads of the allied states and public opinion. Hence failures must be disguised or concealed Picture Quote #1

Don’t tell me you can pitch... pitch. Don’t tell me you can sell... sell Picture Quote #1

Footballers today are forced to conform to a bodily aesthetic that in its rigidity and uniformity makes fashion models look as varied as snowflakes. This wasn’t always so. Up until the 1980s most teams in all divisions had a couple of fat ones, a couple of little ones, at least one bandy one, one completely covered in hair, two weaklings and a chap with no neck. This was an era when you didn’t need names on the backs of shirts in order to tell who’s who, you could clearly identify them with your eyes half shut from the other side of the pitch Picture Quote #1

I played a lot of baseball growing up, and I always hit better if I kept moving before the pitch instead of standing still in the batter’s box. I think a waggle does the same thing in the golf swing. It keeps you relaxed and gets your body ready to hit the ball Picture Quote #1

I really don’t have an ear for pitch. I can’t sing at all, I can’t hum melodies and I can’t write riffs Picture Quote #1

It’s not just what you do on the pitch, it’s what you do off the pitch Picture Quote #1

We writers don’t really think about whether what we write is good or not. It’s too much to worry about. We just put the words down, trying to get them right, operating by some inner sense of pitch and proportion, and from time to time, we stick the stuff in an envelope and ship it to an editor Picture Quote #1

You’re just trying to throw the best pitch you can and make sure you hit your spots. I don’t have to force nobody Picture Quote #1

With stage, you feel completely like you’re just in a bubble. I love not being able to see anything. I love coming out and I can’t see anything because the lights are so bright and it’s pitch black. That’s ideal for me, that’s when I have the best time Picture Quote #1
