I catch an old ‘Morse’ on ITV3. I’ve never thought I looked particularly like my son. He’s taller than me and blond. But when I see Lewis walk into a room with John Thaw, it’s like my son has just come onto the screen. That’s very strange indeed!
2
I played American Legion ball starting when I was 14. But I didn’t catch until I was 17. I was 75-3 as a high school pitcher, but it was like everybody knew that I was supposed to be a catcher.

13
I do still get shocked every once in a while when I catch my reflection when I’m walking past a glass building, but it’s in my mind about getting older and finding out what I’m going to look like as it unfolds – or as it folds, depending on where the marks and scars land.
14
I quite like to, y’know, chill and catch a vibe where you can actually talk, as opposed to standing on the floor in the club.

Every year before a big competition, I get hurt doing stuff I should not be doing. One year it was my little brother’s 12th birthday. We all played hide-and-seek late at night. I climbed up a 30-foot tree, thinking he’d never catch me. I tripped and fell on one of the branches and I hit my head.
16

19

30
It’s true: with players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s difficult to catch them.

The Savior isn’t our last chance; He is our only chance. Our only chance to overcome self-doubt and catch a vision of who we may become. Our only chance to repent and have our sins washed clean.
39
Up to 80 percent of the fish that we catch spend at least part of their lives in estuaries.
40
Chinese people become jealous about status more easily. Foreigners are more inclined to look up to successful people. I don’t understand why there is a difference. If two people start at the same point and then one person gets ahead, the other should work hard to catch up. But instead, they just curse. They are jealous.
41

47

64
I may catch some flack for this, but the Jersey style I feel is just very different from New York. When I hear a Jersey MC spit, I can just hear New Jersey in them. To where as NY, that style has been broadcasted so nationally that it’s just a natural sound in music.
65
I’m just trying to set my game up to that level of anytime the ball comes my way, I make a play, making people miss and getting the yards after the catch.
66
The virtue of binary is that it’s the simplest possible way of representing numbers. Anything else is more complicated. You can catch errors with it, it’s unambiguous in its reading, there are lots of good things about binary. So it is very, very simple once you learn how to read it.
67
I try to catch flies in cups and put them outside. After I wrote ‘The Underland Chronicles’… well, once you start naming cockroaches, you lose your edge.

I’m not a vegetarian by any means; I eat fish. But the problem with shark finning is they catch the shark, cut their fins and throw them back in the ocean, and to me, that’s wrong. If you’re going to kill an animal, you should use the entire animal and do it humanely. I’m definitely not a big fan.
75
The first thing I do is lay out that melody and figure out how it has to hold here and then finish to land here, because you know in advance you’re going to want the melody to catch four things in the action.
76
Megyn Kelly is one of those rare women who seamlessly combines professional excellence and family. She doesn’t need a catch phrase to define what she instinctively has accomplished. She just ‘does it.’

82
In the years between ‘Afterlight’ and ‘Legacy,’ we see a Zu who has watched all of her older friends head out into the world to do meaningful work while she’s made to wait and hang back because of her age. It reinforces a feeling in her that she’s falling further and further behind and won’t ever catch up to them.
83
You’d never catch me dead in a pair of fishnets! For one thing, they are not practical. And for another thing, it’s just like a tacky drag queen.
84

91
The thing is, if you always catch fish then you lose interest because any achievement is related to facing difficulty; having to work hard for it.
92
When I look at me, I think I’m a good catch. Why wouldn’t somebody like me for me? I’m a pleasant person. I’m an intelligent person. I’m a good person. I’m not bad looking. Why wouldn’t I be able to get somebody to like me?
93
My concern has always been with creating images that catch people’s eyes, penetrate their minds, warm their hearts and cause them to act.

95
I always come out playing like I’m the underdog on the court. I never want anyone to catch up to me; that’s just how I look at it.
96

97
To be honest, I don’t listen to much music! I’ve been so engrossed in it my whole life that when I drive around in my car, I’ll listen to college lectures on philosophy and literature and world history, things like that, to kind of catch up on the college experience I missed.
98
I always have a cigar when I catch a fish.
99
Well, maybe surf one time; I think it would be fun to catch a wave just once.

This is something I haven’t told many people, because it’s embarrassing. We always used to catch flies with our hands. I was the only one who could catch ’em. One-handed, two-handed.

101
When I was at school, I was forced to play lacrosse, a game in which tiny, rock-hard missiles fly at your head, and you must catch them with a stick to avoid a brain haemorrhage. I was regularly punished for not taking part more wholeheartedly.
102
I remember as a kid, my mom had to trade canned food to buy my brother and me chocolate because we were living in Serbia at the time, and there were sanctions. If I catch myself complaining about going to a red carpet event, I say, ‘Shut up.’
103
Da was a real fisherman. But it wasn’t the catch that mattered, it was the skill of the cast, the preparation of the flies. I often think my inability to prepare, my desire to get going, are a direct result of watching my father making all those painstaking preparations before he cast his line.
104
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I’m gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her.
105
Obviously, it’s tough – missing my parents, family in general – but I’m getting used to it. It’s the life, and hopefully I’ll get some time to go home maybe for a week or a bit to catch up on things.
106
I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to ‘Tron,’ but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn’t really see any of that stuff, and I haven’t been able to catch up since.
107
I think free throws are harder because you have more time to think about it, and every eye is on you. When it’s a trey, you catch and shoot.

109
Before I went to college, I went to the S.N.C.C. office three times a week to offer my services and catch up on my ‘Liberator’ magazine. The other two days, I went to the Lycee Francais to keep my French crisp. I felt comfortable in the diversity of my worlds.
110
It is true what is said in Washington – ‘No matter how cynical you get, it’s never enough to catch up.’
111

112
I’m really into football, gadgets, adventurous activities, and cooking new, creative recipes right now – but you’ll never catch me being boring.
113
I feel like when you’re videoing someone and you catch Tiger at a bad time, you show him accidentally doing something, or someone else, they’re just frustrated because they really care about the game. It could really hurt them if they catch you at a potentially vulnerable time.

125

126

128
I decided that if the police couldn’t catch the gangsters, I’d create a fellow who could.
129
The more original something is, the more of a threat it seems until the people catch up with it. That happened with Thelonious Monk. It happened with anybody who is really original.
130

131
I’m as heterosexual as any person need be. I’m open about my relationships – or lack thereof – in my own life, because I want to make the case that gay isn’t contagious. It’s not something that you can catch or learn or choose.
132
Our aim is to get people to enjoy ‘Bake Off’ at home and for our bakers to enjoy what they are doing. We don’t want to catch them out. It’s a very happy occasion, and it’s about encouraging people to bake at home.
133

139

140
If you tell Canadians that you want to interview them for a critical piece on the Canadian healthcare system, they’ll put on their best trophy-wife smile for the camera and list its many accolades. Catch them on a day with their guard down in need of actual care, however, and the truth comes out.
141
Every once in a while, you let a word or phrase out and you want to catch it and bring it back. You can’t do that. It’s gone, gone forever.
142

143
Seeing people catch a feeling in their spirit and sprint the aisles of the church while my cousins played driving, uplifting gospel stuck with me. I let that same feeling wash over me when I experience and perform music.

While social media is a one of the best tools to spread brand awareness, network, stay updated on the latest industry news, and catch up with friends or family, it’s another huge time waster.
149
A strange thing happens when Spielberg discusses his own work. His degree of self-criticism seems a direct reflection of each film’s box-office performance. You will not catch him complaining that the audience ‘didn’t get’ a film; if it didn’t do well, it generally didn’t deserve to.
150
It is astonishing what a lot of odd minutes one can catch during the day, if one really sets about it.
151
Catch on fire and people will come for miles to see you burn.
152

Winning the game is the single most important thing. If you go 0-for-4, but you catch a shutout or a one-run game, and your pitcher goes seven, eight innings, and the closer closes out the game, that’s the ultimate satisfaction for a catcher. Much more than going 4-for-4 and losing.
156

160

161
I hate the Chinese government. If you do not want to embrace North Korean defectors in your country, I understand. But we have a country where we can seek asylum. So please, let us freely pass through. Why are you doing your best to try and catch defectors?
162
If something catches your attention, it’s probably going to catch the attention of others, too.
163

170
When I’m tired, I like to go and do drills where you catch tennis balls off walls. Different colors use different hands, and you’ve got to react to those types of things at different angles. I do all these crazy reaction-time things or reaction skills with tennis balls every morning, or at least four times a week.
171
If you catch me coming out of a film, when I’m emotionally involved, I can tell you at that moment why I like it – but to talk about it years later is not logical to me.

In the late 1960s, Ontario Airport was a throwback to a bygone era. Located 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, the airport served only two carriers, Western and Bonanza. Passengers could catch regional flights to San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix and Los Angeles, and that was about it.
173
One of your best tools is being able to catch the football. But I think you can throw all that out the window when the ball is in the air.
174
A lot of these girls have a goal in life to find a rich guy. I can smell it from a mile away. They won’t catch me! I know what they look like. They come with their little Kelly bag and their Rolex and the Louboutin shoes that are slightly too sexy. Shove off! Do you think I’m going to be the next sucker here?
175
If they’re all so brilliant and I’m such an affirmative-action hire, how come they didn’t catch me?
176
Living indoors without fresh air quickly poisons the blood and makes people feel tired and seedy when they don’t know why. For myself, I sleep out of doors in winter as well as summer. I only feel tired or seedy when I have been indoors a lot. I only catch cold when I sleep in a room.
177
I was running to catch a train when one of my teachers saw me. He thought I was fast, time me, and later gave me my first instructions in sprinting. I happened to be at the right place at the right time.
178
It’s hard, and I don’t always get to see my kids. I will never catch up on that time I’ve missed.
179
If I feel like a night in, or if I have an early plane to catch, I like to make some chai tea and snack on dark chocolate while watching a movie on my projector and big screen. I’m crazy about all kinds of movies, especially the classic Steven Spielberg ones or ‘The Godfather.’
180
The first act is the easiest to plot. The second act is always the hardest to plot. Generally a good, you know, sometimes the third act can be difficult because you can get into a rut in the third act – everybody runs to their Corvette, has a chase, and you catch the bad guy.
181
History devours, but at times it resurrects. Some lives must wait for history to catch up.
182
My desire as a storyteller is to always catch the readers off guard; to give them something they aren’t expecting, and take them in a direction that is satisfying in the here and non.
183
The best way to catch my attention is to throw a Twinkie near my face.
184
You know the trait of a crocodile, don’t you? It never hunts outside water. It always goes into the water to catch its prey. It never goes in the villages or in the bush looking for food. It strikes at the appropriate time. So a good guerrilla leader strikes at the appropriate time.
185
Any injury is tough, and it is a little bit tougher when it is the hand that you have to catch with, but it is football man. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
186
There’s a lionfish cookbook put out by the Reef Environmental Educational Foundation, and it tells you how to catch them, how to clean them.
187
I watch a lot of Disney. I want to catch ‘Hannah Montana Forever.’
188
I’m a Brooklyn kid. So for me, rap and all the other forms of music that I participate in, we catch a win? It’s a win for everybody.
189
You wouldn’t do something for a receiver to catch the ball if the quarterback couldn’t throw it.
190
When the object that is produced, the photographic image has the ability to make tears come to your eyes; to inspire you to the point where you have to catch your breath, then nothing else matters.
191
We are far more liable to catch the vices than the virtues of our associates.
192
No man’s brain is so dull, and no man’s eye so blind, that they cannot catch food for dreams.
193
If I knew what makes a movie catch on then I’d make hit after hit.
194
I did a standup show called ‘Show Me the Funny,’ so from that I got some TV stuff and people would book me for gigs. I wasn’t really good enough at that point, so had to catch up with expectations.
195
There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, ‘Well, clearly this show will have an audience; why wouldn’t it?’ And for whatever reason, it just doesn’t catch on. So you never know going in.
196
Occasionally, in the afternoons, I catch a movie, watch football, go to Sunday brunch, or visit with family and friends.
197
Rahul is my greatest critic; I look up to him. At 40, I’m fit, and that’s because of Rahul. If I’m neglecting my health, he’s the one to catch hold of me.
198
When you see a person, do you just concentrate on their looks? It’s just a first impression. Then there’s someone who doesn’t catch your eye immediately, but you talk to them and they become the most beautiful thing in the world. The greatest actors aren’t what you would call beautiful sex symbols.
199
We don’t appreciate luck in life when things are going well. No matter how smart I am and how I prepare, there are things that catch you off guard.
200
You always have those moments of standing outside your own life and thinking, ‘This is kind of bizarre and quite wonderful.’ And I think those moments always catch you off guard.
201
With the Chiefs, you can’t live in Kansas City and not like the Chiefs. To go catch a game at Arrowhead is a pretty great experience. I haven’t had the chance to go to games anywhere else, but, from what I’m told, I don’t really need to.
202
I’ll just say that America – us included – has a long way to go to catch up with the animated work being done in a handful of countries, namely Japan.
203
I think, like a lot of other people who have been in the service, you’d been delayed in what you were doing. You wanted to catch up and the best way to catch up was to move as fast as you could toward a degree.
204
In this perfect world, there are certain imperfections that catch your eye. That’s what works for me. I don’t concentrate on being perfect, but instead put that effort behind my craft and being true to myself. I don’t conform to pressures outside of me. I am confident about myself.
205
If the skies fall, one may hope to catch larks.
206
Documentaries sometimes can be shot over 10 years. You plan to stop in two, but you still gotta catch more.
207
I would like to prove that on TV, everyday lives can be as compelling as the life-styles of the rich and famous. Especially lives that we catch at extraordinary moments.
208
Don’t let the ball hit you. Catch it or get out of the way. And if you get out of the way, that’s when you have to stop playing.
209
I think tax is tough in this country. Every time I sign a cheque to pay tax, it drives me crazy. But at the same time, I’m happy to live here. I want to have a good medical system, good education, good roads, so it’s a Catch 22. I hate it, but it’s a necessary evil.
210
I think a lot of things will be self-correcting, even in America. After all, human societies are essentially self-organizing emergent systems. The catch is, how much disorder will we have to endure while this re-self-organizing process occurs.
211
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards; I thought that was great for years.
212
Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way, you’re ahead of the game.
213
There is hope to catch up, as long as Leeds get to the Premier League. I feel with a project an idea and people of quality we can close the gap on clubs with a different budget.
214
In New York, people are pretty cool, and you don’t catch a lot of grief. But in certain spots, man, it’s over. If I stand in the same place for more than 20 minutes or 10 minutes or something, there’ll be 40 people standing there, all screaming something different.
215
The nation is trying to catch up with a rapidly changing world.
216
To tell you the truth, I believe everything – tigers, trees, stones – are sentient in one way or another. You’d never catch me idly kicking a stone, for example.
217
I like to jump around, and it takes a long time for people to catch up to me sometimes.
218
To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.
219
From the rough, I’d use a 6-iron, play the ball back an inch or two and swing down on a steeper angle to catch the ball first. It also helps to aim slightly left and open the clubface at address. You’ll get more height on the shot, and the club will cut through the grass more easily.
220
Quite a few people who are in the media and in control of the big money seem to want to see these Southeast Asian countries – and, in particular, Malaysia – stop trying to catch up with their superiors and to know their place.
221
The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it’s important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.
222
Flaubert called himself a human pen; I would say that I am a human ear. When I walk down the street and catch words, phrases, and exclamations, I always think – how many novels disappear without a trace! Disappear into darkness.
223
I actually don’t watch much TV, but my goal is to watch ‘Downton Abbey.’ I want to catch up on the series… that’s like my style.
224
When we love and make loving commitments, we create families and communities within which people can grow and take risks, knowing that hands will be there to catch them should they fall.
225
It wasn’t a typical ‘Let’s go play catch in the backyard’ sort of father-son relationship. We always went to job sites with him.
226
I changed my thinking on the whole subject of what it is to be attractive. It’s fine, but I know that ultimately what I am and who I am is not cheekbones and a jawline, if you catch my drift. I ultimately know that who I am is not directly proportional to abs or straight teeth.
227
Having grown up in different countries – Jamaica, Italy, U.K. – I catch the accents quite easily. In the U.S., they don’t know where I am from!
228
You have to write and develop and wait for the world to catch up to your art.
229
As far as the leading man/romantic lead, I’ll tell you what, I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on ‘Catch and Release.’ God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.
230
We who were born were not witnesses to our birth: like death, it is something we are forever after trying to catch sight of.
231
I think that every show on television has its place. I think Married With Children or, I don’t know, The Nanny… some people want to go home, turn on the TV and be able to iron their clothes or grab a sandwich. Come out and catch a joke and not have to follow the story.
232
Drag me to the moon, to catch a star and seize its brilliance as I’m swept up in amorphous dust.
233
You can’t make everyone happy. You just do what you can, and that’s it… you’re always going to catch criticism no matter what you do.
234
I love characters who are clever and smart, and you have to run to catch up with. I think there’s something very appealing and rather heroic in that.
235
Sometimes I catch myself stooping, and whenever I am like that, I am sure something is not quite right.
236
With every album, I write above my ability, and my job as a guitarist is to catch up and be able to play it live. The thing about practicing is that once you master something, you don’t have to remaster it. You just keep moving forward.
237
Comedies always need to be provocative and catch your attention in a way that dramas don’t have to.
238
In 2004 in England, there was one catch that was very special to me. I was bowling in a league match, and the batsman hit the ball over my head. I had to run back to between mid-off and mid-on to take the catch, and I did.
239
I get ‘The New Yorker,’ and I’m usually about three issues behind. But I do catch up. The problem is that it always seems like homework, but then you start reading it and go, ‘Why am I not doing this all the time? These are such great stories!’ But, yeah, that stack gets so big and dense.
240
Baseball is the president tossing out the first ball of the season. And a scrubby schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a Mississippi farm.
241
As a child, I used to spend nearly all my summer holidays with my aunt in Wales, and we used to catch mackerel in a boat and then cook them on board.
242
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they are going to catch you in next.
243
I think the best thing with any superstar is to try to limit his touches. Try not to let him catch the ball where he wants it, try to deny him some, double team him some, throw different looks at him.
244
You can’t just keep bottling the same thing over and over again and think the audience isn’t going to catch on.
245
If you ever catch a great boss, it’s just such a rare thing, and it’s amazing.
246
The idea that maybe you don’t have to own a car if you only need one occasionally may catch on, just like time-sharing caught on in real estate.
247
I was an avid tomboy, and as long as I could ride my bike just as fast, hit the ball just as hard, and catch just as many garter snakes, I was accepted as one of the boys and enjoyed all the perks of superiority.
248
Mobile is a seaport town, and we ate a lot of seafood. We’d go fishing, we’d catch our fish and we’d eat our fish. It was a ritual on Saturday morning for all my family – my grandfather, my brothers, my uncles, my father – to go fishing, and then the ladies of the family would clean the fish and fry them up.
249
That whole thing: the paparazzi, a gazillion magazines. You can’t lie on a beach. God forbid your bikini rides up too far or you’ve eaten too many doughnuts and they catch you wiping your mouth. That must be exhausting, that lack of privacy.
250
The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be ‘eclectic.’
251
Why the fairy tale of Willie Mays making a brilliant World Series catch, and then dashing off to play stickball in the street with his teenage pals. That’s baseball. So is the husky voice of a doomed Lou Gehrig saying, ‘I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.’
252
In ’05, ’06, ’07 and ’08, I wasn’t throwing any changeups at all. Maybe two or three per game. In ’09, I started playing with the grip, started throwing it in the bullpen and playing catch. It came out really good.
253
It’s not that I’m trying to write another ‘7 Years’ or a new version of ‘Mama Said.’ Songs just kind of come out of nowhere, and you need to catch them when they do.
254
My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?
255
I’ll get up at 5 or 6. I try to catch up on sleep on the weekends, so I’ll try to get seven hours of sleep. During the week, my ideal is to go to bed at 9 and wake up six hours later.
256
When you do one movie at a time, if one goes crazy and becomes successful, your life changes. But you can step back and catch your breath.
257
I only halfway paid attention in high school Spanish class, and it may be too late now to catch up, no matter how many levels of Rosetta Stone I order.
258
I’m a really fast runner. No one can catch me – I’m quick.
259
I like my home to be somewhere where my friends can feel like they can put their feet up on the couch and for it to feel like really easy living. I really love to have my friends over, cook dinner for them, catch up, and spend quality time with quality people in my life.
260
I can stand in a crystal stream without another human around me and cast all day long, and if I never catch a single fish, I can come home and still feel like I had a wonderful time. It’s the being there that’s important.
261
Changing communities and changing our country is going to last a lot longer than how many footballs you catch or how many touchdowns you make.
262
I have this big, old, oversize Levi’s denim jacket, and I honestly think it might be for a dude. And on the back, it says, ‘Catch feelings, not waves,’ which I love because I’m very emotional.
263
I don’t believe in the catch weight.
264
And in an Ashes series the best approach as a player is to not get caught up in feeling pressure for your position but to think only about the greater cause. How can I contribute? It could be a single moment, like a blinding catch or a run out. Think only of the team’s needs.
265
Surfing isn’t really in my blood. It’s hard to catch a big wave in Billingham.
266
I never expected this to catch on in the way it did! Of course similar observations have been made by any number of people, and the distinction is obvious to anyone who thinks about the subject a little.
267
Your job as a receiver is to get open and catch the ball and block in the run game.
268
I don’t have a lot of time for television because I am making it, so it’s really hard for me to sit down. But when I do get a chance, I try to catch up on ‘Scandal,’ ‘Empire’ and ‘black-ish.’
269
I think talent is dangerous to have if you take it for granted. If you use it well and put hard work with it together, it’s hard to catch that guy. And I think that’s what you’re seeing right now.
270
I’ve had two proposals since I’ve been a widow. I am a wonderful catch, you know. I have a lot of money.
271
Regulation needs to catch up with innovation.
272
Literature is capable of being a subject that people want to catch up on or discuss, whether at a coffee shop or a watercooler. It can become an intrinsic part of their dialogue.
273
We went from playing small clubs to quite big stages quite quickly, and a lot of the time, I felt like I was trying to catch up with myself. Figuring out how to take up space was an interesting journey.
274
You never know in TV – sometimes you’re on at the wrong time at the wrong place. Sometimes you don’t get a chance to catch on.
275
It’s a tough world. One moment, you’re the hottest thing; there aren’t enough hours in the day – you can barely catch your breath. The next moment, it’s all about how many Instagram followers you have.
276
Most people catch them breaching from the surface when they’re shooting out of the water. I have them breaching from underwater in a 16-time sequence, a shark leaving the water and then reentering the water.
277
I’m not bragging, but just going Sunday to Sunday, it will be a real rare game when I don’t catch a pass.
278
The first thing I do is I check my emails and my texts. I guess I shouldn’t feel guilty about it at this point; it’s kind of the norm. Sometimes I’ll bounce around Twitter. And if I have time, I’ll catch up on the news, usually on ‘Huffington Post’ or ‘Salon.’
279
I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature – the very thought of it drives me mad.
280
By exercising your stomach muscles, you wring out the body, you don’t catch colds, you don’t get cancer, you don’t get hernias. Do animals get hernias? Do animals go on diets?
281
In ‘Deadliest Catch,’ we have men in ships in rough seas catching crabs. With ‘Whale Wars,’ we have men and women from a dozen different nations going out to sea in rough weather to help save the whales. We also have icebergs, whales, penguins, and dramatic ship-to-ship confrontations.
282
Oh, yeah – I could see myself as a catch and shooter, come off curls and shooting. I really feel good about shooting the ball.
283
There is a design behind the world that we are living in, which is veiled to most of us most of the time, but every once in a while, you catch a glimpse of it.
284
What interests me is trying to catch the reflection of the human being on the page. I’m interested in how ordinary people live their lives.
285
The World Cup ball is very fast, and you need to think very quickly, when to punch and when to catch.
286
The problem – when you cast your net that wide – is you inevitably catch something you don’t want to catch.
287
When not shooting, I love to catch up on my sleep.
288
People who take risks like Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones take a second to catch on, but eventually they do because they’re different and honest in a musical landscape that’s not always like that.
289
Police in Washington D.C. are now using cameras to catch drivers who go through red lights. Many congressmen this week opposed the use of the red light cameras incorrectly assuming they were being used for surveillance at local brothels.
290
But as an entrepreneur you have to feel like you can jump out of an aeroplane because you’re confident that you’ll catch a bird flying by. It’s an act of stupidity, and most entrepreneurs go splat because the bird doesn’t come by, but a few times it does.
291
I always wanted to be an athlete. Then when I realized that I can’t run very fast, jump very high, or catch anything, I thought, ‘Maybe if this doesn’t work out, I can be an actor.’
292
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there’s a truth in your heart that says you’ll never leave me, and the touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall.
293
When I’m traveling the world, I don’t ever look anymore at the geography – just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
294
I’m here to get the story on to the page. It would be good to catch your attention, and I have to make you want to read on, and I suppose I prefer you don’t actually think about the ‘how’ at all – the writing technique, the ‘style’, or even who it is that’s putting this together.
295
I think music is a big, big wide world, and I am voyager on this particular ship in this sea of wild music, and I’m gonna dive in and find as many fish as I can and catch them all. I love music.
296
I do not think our security will ever be so effective that we can catch every bad person at the border, nor do I think we can expect our local law enforcement officers to anticipate and stop every violent crime or terrorist act.
297
People discover you at festivals. They come to see Coldplay or whoever, and then wander over and catch your act. Festivals make a lot of sense to me.
298
I’ve always been the kind of person who leaves parties early to catch the last bus home.
299
In boxing, some fighters have good chins. You just have to be persistent and continue following the plan and trying to catch them nicely and, obviously, hope to be knocking him out.
300
It would follow that ‘significant form’ was form behind which we catch a sense of ultimate reality.
301
Jack Lambert is mean and relentless wherever he goes, on and off the field! I do remember many times he would chase me in practice but no way would I let him catch me.
302
I never have such luxury of leisure time. But whenever I get some time, I catch up on watching movies, keep going to theatre to watch plays, gigs of my actor friends.
303
I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap.
304
As a comedian, you’re making so many observations, so many measurements. You might catch someone’s eyes as you’re telling a joke, and they can have this sort of glazed expression on their face, and that can set all your dials off.
305
We can never run away from our past. The past will catch up to us because it is us. It is a part of us; it’s what makes us we are. It’s what delineates the borders of our societies.
306
Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.
307
I always felt that I was, you know, smart. I just didn’t have a lot of the resources that everybody else had… It was tough for me to catch up.
308
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
309
Enthusiasm is always an interesting spectacle. When it expresses itself with an honest and artless eloquence, it is difficult to listen to it and not, in some degree, to catch the flame.
310
I do all the cooking in our family. I’m a utilitarian cook, rather than an adventurous one – I only have about 15 recipes in my repertoire that I rotate – but I love being able to go down to the river and catch a 30 lb. salmon, then grill it on the barbecue.
311
I hope people don’t compare 2D and 3D because 3D’s new, it’s unfair to compare to 2D which is really sophisticated, even when we’re jaded about it. 3D just began, give it a chance, let the equipment and projection system catch up and be better, let the price go down, let more filmmakers get a hold of it more easily.
312
Whenever I catch a chunk of an Adam Sandler comedy on cable, it looks as badly shot and goofily tossed off as a Jerry Lewis gag reel once he hit the late downslide with ‘Hardly Working’ and ‘Cracking Up.’
313
Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They’re extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.
314
I think there’s a time and place to watch an independent film, or catch up on a French action film on your laptop, or Netflix it, or download it, or watch it on-demand. But I think we also have to maintain the sacredness of the movie theatre as church – especially with event screenings.
315
When you get behind with the tax department, it’s very difficult to catch up.
316
I realized I need to work. I need to be creative. As much as I have angst and anxiety, when I’m idle, it’s even more. I have to keep moving. Otherwise, I catch up with myself.
317
Even now, I still get a bit apprehensive before a game because I am worried about whether I have done enough preparation or if something is going to catch me out. But the fear factor has gone – as it should have done by now, really, after nearly 50 years.
318
The number one thing is to catch the football and maintain possession.
319
When I am seriously composing, sometimes a phrase will come into my head, a catch phrase. When I was writing pop songs for a few years, as a career, separate from my folksinging career, I used to write songs for pop singers.
320
I love to take risks, I love to travel, and I’m very outdoor-sy, so any girl who can pick up a football and throw a spiral will definitely catch my attention.
321
My greatest moment as a jock occurred when I was 14 and playing punch ball in front of my house on Albemarle Road near East 17th Street in Brooklyn. I ran back, back for a ball, and it fell in my hands. I didn’t even see it. Everyone congratulated me on the catch, and I never told them how it really happened.
322
What you see with me is what you get. I don’t have to conduct a poll to figure out what I’m going to tell somebody. I don’t have to hire some consultant to come up with some cute catch phrase. I just call it like I see it.
323
There was no race – but to the extent that there was an arms competition, it was almost entirely on the Soviet side, first to catch up and then to surpass the Americans.
324
I definitely respect Kamara’s game. He’s a different type of player. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. He can run in between the tackles. Pretty much a do-it-all back.
325
The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.
326
Aesthetes have it all over intellectuals in one very important respect: You’ll rarely catch us hustling anyone off to the nearest guillotine. We’re too busy trying to make the world more beautiful. Our hands are stained with ink and paint, not blood.
327
Sometimes you catch people’s eyes during the show, which is horrible and awkward. I can always see the people in the front row, and sometimes you get people who are fast asleep. Maybe they had a long day at work, but that’s an expensive nap.
328
When I train for a fight, you roll around, you catch someone in a move, you let them go. You just let go and keep going.
329
I’m an owl; I’m up. I probably go to sleep during the time when most people wake up. The first half of the day, you might not catch me.
330
Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than you want it to take, but it’s better to catch on late than never.
331
You break down the tape of the top five backs, all those guys can catch the ball out the backfield. They’re special with the ball in hand. Something I strive to be.
332
If you go back and look at the first issue of ‘Indestructible Hulk,’ if you have a sharp eye, you’ll catch something that I totally forgot to put in there. In my horror, I only realized after the fact that I took totally for granted that everyone in the world knows what triggers the transformation.
333
It’s always interesting to be playing against some of my best friends and some of my longtime teammates. You get to see them before the game and after the game and it’s always nice to catch up but when the whistle blows it’s sort of all business on the field.
334
There is only one Mariano Rivera. There won’t be another person who will come along and do what he did. No one does it like him. It was an honor to catch him and play alongside him for as long as I did.
335
Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life. It’s akin to using a bulldozer to catch a butterfly, destroying a whole ecosystem for the sake of a few pounds of protein. We wouldn’t do this on land, so why do it in the oceans?
336
People think: ‘If this photographer’s looking like a big jerk-off, maybe it’s okay if I do.’ I like to catch my subjects off balance a bit.
337
Fishing is boring, unless you catch an actual fish, and then it is disgusting.
338
How does an artist know when the line that he just painted is good or not good? That’s the catch. De Kooning was the greatest of my contemporaries in art, and he knew when he’d done a good line. When he didn’t, he threw it away. I wish I’d thrown away some of mine.
339
Certainly, virtual reality headsets are behind in resolution, but it’ll all catch up pretty quickly once there’s a consumer market and there’s demand.
340
I wouldn’t describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that – the ghosts you chase you never catch.
341
I don’t like Heather Graham. She did an interview and said, ‘I didn’t want to kiss Corey; I didn’t want to catch his mononucleosis. He had a kissing disease.’
342
I always say, ‘Let your experiment speak to you.’ What I mean by that is I – actually, we, or, at least, I’m not smart enough, actually, to guess how nature is working, but by looking and doing the right experiments and paying close attention to the subtleties of it, you start to catch on.
343
Dad played with me a great deal, as dads should do, and our chief sport was baseball. He bought me a hardball when I was three years old, and he used to sit in a rocker on the front porch while I sat on the grass in the yard, and we’d play catch by the hour.
344
Man, I have had so much plastic surgery, I don’t even recognize myself, sometimes. If I catch a glimpse in a window or something, I think it is someone else.
345
I never watch MTV. I don’t have time to watch TV. And when I do, I’m watching the Discovery Channel. ‘Deadliest Catch: Crab Fishing in Alaska,’ that’s my show.
346
We intend to bring fun and family activities to the American market from Down Under, where we believe we have some of the best fishing in the world and the best conservative approach to fishing through catch, kiss, and release.
347
I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.
348
I’m supposed to catch everything.
349
It makes perfect economic sense to integrate women in the economy in the developing world in order to catch up with advanced countries, thereby minimising socioeconomic costs as well.
350
I have this dream where I get chased through a park by Nazis in the Second World War. They finally catch up to me in an apartment somewhere, but I don’t know what happens next.
351
The iPad needs to catch up with Flash before I put a hand on it.
352
Russia and China have maintained that people prize stability over freedom and that as long as the central State creates conditions for economic growth, people will be complacent and will be willing to literally sell away their rights. In fact, this very economic growth will eventually catch up with these regimes.
353
We can’t keep playing catch up as we have done for every season I’ve been here.
354
If your sister is in a tearing hurry to go out and cannot catch your eye, she’s wearing your best sweater.
355
If you’re trout fishing in the lochs of Scotland, your catch may end up like this: batter-crusted with that ubiquitous Scottish staple, oats; and served beside a generous mound of stovies, Scottish slang for stove-roasted potatoes.
356
I came into music kind of late in life – until I was 17 I wanted to be a spy, wanted to be James Bond, so I had to learn rather quickly and practice longer than most people did to play catch up.
357
I always felt a bit different. When I’m with boys, I feel comfortable. When I’m with girls, I catch feelings. It’s not anything I can control.
358
If commercial fishing were excluded from large areas of the sea, the total catch would be likely, paradoxically, to rise, due to what biologists call the spillover effect.
359
I vividly remember early on in my career when I was eight months pregnant, working literally around the clock, and worrying that each trip to the restroom or my need to catch the occasional catnap was causing my colleagues to question whether I could keep up.
360
Devon holds a special place in my heart. As a child, I normally went on holiday to Bantham and have lots of happy memories from my time there. I used to catch sand eels in the early morning and go fishing for bass throughout the day. I remember a gull taking my bait.
361
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them the tools at their disposable that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. And our programs to help them should reflect that.
362
It’s tough when you get beat. You have to be able to come back mentally. Sometimes the offense is going to win, but you have to be able to be level-headed and not get too upset when they do catch the ball.
363
When the game is on, I want to be on the field, but I’m willing to catch, walk, run. I just want to be there. I’ll even be water boy.
364
They always say girls mature faster than boys, but I don’t think that’s true because I think girls just are more mature than boys. We’re always trying to catch up to them.
365
I’m really excited about producing my first feature, ‘Boone the Bounty Hunter.’ Boone is a bounty hunter that does parkour to catch skips.
366
People talk about that catch and, I’ve said this many times, that I’ve made better catches than that many times in regular season. But of course in my time, you didn’t have a lot of television during the regular season. A lot of people didn’t see me do a lot of things.
367
You surprise yourself on some balls off the bat. You don’t think you have a chance to catch it. And then your natural ability just takes over.
368
You’d be surprised what you’d catch on my playlist.
369
Coastlines are very effective ways of catching plastic. But the thing is, in those vast ocean garbage patches, there’s simply no coastlines to catch any plastic. So we built our own artificial coastline.
370
I read tons of books, listen to music non-stop, watch as many movies as possible, catch a play when I can, art shows, concerts, bar talks – I just try to engage in art, which to me is everywhere, as often as I can because narrative lives in it all.
371
I like to catch fish and release them. I probably haven’t killed a fish that I’ve caught in sport fishing for 20 years. No reason to kill it. You know, just take it and release it.
372
Dog – a kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.
373
The Weezer ‘Blue’ Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket’s ‘Circuital’ is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ or ‘Animals.’ I always catch myself at concerts being like, ‘Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.’ I study them.
374
There were some that said if you hung in long enough, the world would catch on, and they have.
375
I don’t know – sometimes I catch myself being dark, and it’s annoying. I think, ‘Get over it.’ I bore myself. But sometimes, like everybody, I’m sure I am obsessive.
376
You will never catch up with the spread of AIDS no matter how much money, no matter how many antiretrovirals are put into the system, unless you stop its growth. And the only way to stop its growth is prevention.
377
My friend Ed Begley goes fishing. It’s a little smelly to me, I don’t like it so much. I like to eat fish, but I don’t like to catch them.
378
If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, ‘This isn’t how we do it.’
379
A soup manufacturer uses the same colors and design on every label to catch the consumer’s eye and assure her that she’s getting brand-name quality, whether she’s buying bean soup or corn chowder or cream of tomato.
380
I love watching the fishermen step off their boats and lay out their catch – typically sardines, monkfish and everything you’d find in bouillabaisse.
381
I definitely need to do everything I can to help whoever is going to catch the ball.
382
The pursuit of truth will set you free; even if you never catch up with it.
383
The reason most people sweat is so they will not catch fire while they are making love.
384
I’ve managed to catch lightning in a bottle a couple times. I’m very lucky. But I want to do this forever. I enjoy it so much. One of the challenges as an actor is to stay relevant.
385
I’m from California, but my father, who passed away when I was young, was from Newark. When I was kid, we would go back east and catch Yankees games. His side of the family are big Yankees fans. But, the real connection came in ’97 when I moved to New York and became friends with the team.
386
I have to shoot without any breaks. I yell at Herzog and hit him. I have to fight for every sequence. I wish Herzog would catch the plague, more than ever.
387
Catch me on a good day, I think half of my books aren’t too bad. Catch me on a bad day, I think I’ve never written a good line.
388
A great day in New York would be to wake up, get a cup of coffee and head up to Central Park for a nice walk. Then I’d go down to the East Village and stroll around. After that, maybe I’d go check out a museum or catch an indie film at the Angelika.
389
I have always felt like I was just sort of waiting to catch up to the rest of myself.
390
The metaphor I’ve used is… somebody’s going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won’t be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets.
391
Should there be cameras everywhere in outdoor streets? My personal view is having cameras in inner cities is a very good thing. In the case of London, petty crime has gone down. They catch terrorists because of it. And if something really bad happens, most of the time you can figure out who did it.
392
I’m a catch wrestler, so I used catch wrestling in Mixed Martial Arts.
393
I always said that Messi has some talent that no one has. I mean, he has the ball and his speed controlling the ball. The ball doesn’t go two metres far from his foot; it’s always there. It’s impossible to catch him. This talent I didn’t see from anyone.
394
I remember my first friend who got sick. It was 1981, and the disease was called the gay cancer. I don’t think the word ‘AIDS’ came out until ’84. I just remember it being terrifying as more people got sick. We didn’t know how you could catch it, you heard all kinds of crazy things.
395
I’ve been telling people I need to start smiling to my opponents and shaking hands and just being nice, so then when the bell rings, I catch them off-guard, because I used to catch people off-guard, but everyone’s ready now.
396
I don’t like the designated hitter. A guy who plays should be able to catch and hit.
397
I don’t compare ’em, I just catch ’em.
398
But you can catch yourself entertaining habitually certain ideas and setting others aside; and that, I think, is where our personal destinies are largely decided.
399
I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world.
400
Flights are a good way to catch up on podcasts, but I’ll listen to some jazz to fall asleep.
401
Happy as we are, times may alter; we may be bitten with some impulse towards change, and many things may seem too wonderful for us to resist, too exciting not to catch at, if we do not know that they are but phases of what has been before and withal ruinous, deceitful, and sordid.
402
Jazz sometimes can be really complicated and inaccessible to people because they don’t know what to start with. You can start with something that you love, but if you start with something that you hate, then it’s like, ‘You know what, I hate jazz.’ It took me a lot of time to catch on to jazz, too.
403
Like most people, I have this sort of love-hate relationship with Pittsburgh. This is my home, and at times I miss it and find it tremendously exciting, and other times I want to catch the first thing out that has wheels.
404
You can catch me in whatever’s funky, whatever’s got that swag. If it’s got that swag, I’m putting it on.
405
When you catch a glimpse of your potential, that’s when passion is born.
406
If we’re going to spend a lot of money to deal with the problem of 200 million guns in the country owned by 65 million gun owners, we ought to have a system which will work and catch criminals.
407
The pretty girls get all the good stuff. Oh, God. So not true. I unlearned this after years of coaching beautiful clients. Yes, these lovelies get preferential treatment in most life scenarios, but there’s a catch: While everyone’s looking at them, virtually no one sees them.
408
AIDS is a horrible disease, and the people who catch it deserve compassion.
409
Every day you can write a song but some days there is just some magic in the air and something special about the catch; other days you write all day on a song line or idea.
410
Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I’m lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.
411
When I was a kid, we’d go crabbing, as a lot of folks do on the East Coast, and we’d catch some fresh crabs and take it home, and Mom would turn it into this unbelievable crab gravy – or, as they say, sauce.
412
It takes awhile for writers to get to know actors rhythms, not just as actors, but what they bring to the characters. I think it takes a few episodes for the writing room to catch up to the actors and vice versa.
413
The message has become clearer to the nation about AIDS. People used to think they could catch it all kinds of ways, but we now know that it is absolutely passed through bodily fluids.
414
Living in continual chaos is exhausting, frightening. The catch is that it’s also very addictive.
415
I try to enjoy a movie or a television programme just like anybody else. I’d love to be emerged into the story and watch it, but if you work a lot as an actor, in any aspect of the industry, things might arise in a programme that somebody might miss, whereas it might catch your attention.
416
I’ve always tried to come up with something that would catch your ear.
417
Play a little light catch and only some short sprints for me. Then on the day-of, it’s just getting loosened up and ready to go out there and pitch.
418
Our fielders have to catch a lot of balls, or at least deflect them to someone who can.
419
I was black and blue for about two years, but it’s paid off tremendously. You know, if you get enough whacks, your reflexes pick up, and I’ve become quite good – if somebody throws keys or something, I can catch them.
420
I’m 51; I’m younger than Tony Blair. I don’t have a dicky heart; I’m up like a broom handle in the morning. I don’t drink or gamble – I’m still a catch.
421
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
422
Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth.
423
There are two great fictional TV series about technology and the computer industry that each have now had three seasons. The one everyone knows about is ‘Silicon Valley.’ The lesser-known one is ‘Halt and Catch Fire.’
424
I catch myself every once in a while doing that weird thing that I see famous people do, where they have sunglasses and hats on and grow out beards thinking that they’re fooling people. Dude, you’re not fooling anyone: you look just like you.
425
Being a good songwriter means paying attention and sticking your hand out the window to catch the song on the way to someone else’s house!
426
The numbers of terrorists that we have caught coming – we actually don’t catch them coming across the border. We usually catch them in some other context.
427
We’re all trying to catch up with Beyonce. We’re all running a race, and Beyonce is up there, and we’re all just trying to run and get there. That’s my motivation.
428
You’re never going to catch me calling myself a hero unless I’m joking.
429
Once I got into the league, I liked to watch LaDainian Tomlinson. He was nice, man. Quick, strong, great eyes, able to catch the ball.
430
I became a larger than life figure for one reason only. When you’re quoted in the ‘Wall Street Journal’, the ‘New York Times’, constantly as the expert in the business people assume you’re a lot bigger than you are. And then I had to run like hell to catch up with my own image.
431
Treat the audience with respect and maturity, and have a certain faith in them to catch up.
432
In front of 40,000 people, you don’t really want to drop a catch or misfield. It’s part and parcel of the game.
433
The nearest village was a place called Pauperhaugh which was a village in the sense that it had a phone box and a bridge. By the time I got down south I had decades to catch up on. We only got colour television in 1978.
434
With anything new, if it’s weird or cool, it will catch people’s attention. But slowly, that new thing, if it catches on, it becomes a trend itself.
435
I’m exactly where I want to be – we live out here on the James River outside Richmond. I have three ponds, and we catch the biggest, most beautiful bass you’ve ever looked at in your life.
436
People who don’t have gender dysphoria aren’t going to catch it by watching me dance on television.
437
I think there are ways that perhaps organic partnerships can occur in local geographies with groups that are extremely focused on their communities. That’s really how Techstars began, as a grassroots movement in Boulder, Colo., that happened to catch fire and expand around the world.
438
If I’m practicing making up what the characters will do, it’s never good. In fact, when I catch myself doing that, I try to get rid of that section, and try and let them start making the decisions.
439
It’s not necessarily about the physical aspects when people say receivers have a lot of drops or can’t catch the ball. It’s that they are not focusing on the right things. That their mind-set is not in the right spot.
440
Harmony Korine is a Rocket Scientist who purposely went on a 8-year vacation to let everyone catch up.
441
You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something.
442
I’ve never put myself in the mindset that I’m actually any good at taking pictures, I just love to shoot things that catch my eye, whether it’s landscapes or just my kids.
443
Abortion is wrong. I think everyone knows that, which is why abortion activists are so angry all the time. It’s a bit like when you catch someone out in a lie, and they get really mad at you really quickly, and you can’t work out why until later. It’s guilt.
444
Pokemon Go, which involves trying to ‘catch’ Pikachu or Squirtle or other creatures with your smartphone, is an inherently social experience. You need to be walking around – on the streets, in public places – to catch the Pokemon.
445
For my brother and me, there would be no ‘Field of Dreams’-like playing catch, no nature lessons with our old man. Instead, it would be a darkened theater, the projector light coming on, and a new adventure unfolding.
446
I don’t see my family often enough, but when we do catch up, it’s somewhere new in the world. They get to travel more than they would if I wasn’t doing this sport.
447
A lot of people will comment, ‘All the high flying will catch up to you.’ I think any form of wrestling will catch up to you.
448
Because I’m short, I have a low center of gravity and I know how to use my weight. If I don’t want nobody to pick me up, they can’t. They’ll catch a hernia trying.
449
I’m more off ball, catch and go, spot-ups, cutting.
450
I was really skinny and I had greasy hair and I was knock-kneed. There’s something still in me that’s like that, and I catch myself, you know when you’re walking or something, and you think, ‘Oh no, you’re still that drippy person.’
451
Sometimes I catch myself if I’m shopping, and I’m like, ‘I want to hide my thighs and my arms.’ And then I kind of take a minute where I’m like, ‘No, that’s not really being kind to yourself. Maybe learn to embrace things that we’re taught as women not to like.’
452
Sometimes when, you know, God tries to correct you in private and if you don’t catch it he’ll correct you in public.
453
Normally when I have students over, we sit in the house and look at the fields to try to catch a glimpse of a bobcat hunting.
454
We can bring it all down to the subtleties of the shifting of an eye because we know the camera will catch it. That has been a great thing to learn, and it makes it interesting for a guy who has been in it as long as I have.
455
One move nobody knows about, when I catch the ball on the wing and I’m driving, I’m looking at the defender’s legs, and I’m yanking their legs back as I run by.
456
There might be 1 finger on the trigger, but there will be 15 fingers on the safety catch.
457
We travel to learn; and I have never been in any country where they did not do something better than we do it, think some thoughts better than we think, catch some inspiration from heights above our own.
458
Being a professional chess player is not very family-friendly and I am away quite often playing tournaments, sometimes for 12 days at a time. I catch up with Gusztav every day on Skype and email but even though I miss them, I don’t make a point of ringing the children every night.
459
You’re never going to catch me agreeing with anything that Bruce Rauner says, given the things he’s done in this state, trying to pit the city of Chicago against the rest of Illinois – I’ll never agree with anything Bruce Rauner says.
460
We go fish, we also catch fighting fish, looking for birds and it was for kampong people, the paddy field was our the play field for the children.
461
I overuse words. My kids catch me saying stuff. They’re like, ‘Hey, you say that all the time.’ ‘Boom’ is one of those things.
462
You start to think bigger when you see how quickly a TV show can catch on in a whole country. That confidence, and thinking big, opened a lot of doors.
463
Every five years, there is a shift in cinema space, but we are slow to catch that. Young people understand that shift.
464
With ‘Horror Story’, it really was, ‘You’re going to run; you’re going to jump off this cliff, and trust that that Ryan Murphy is going to catch you.’ So I just ran head-on into it and jumped off the edge of that cliff.
465
I was lucky because on the morning after the burning of the Reichstag I left my home very early to catch a train to Berlin for the conference of our student organization and that is the only reason why I escaped arrest.
466
I’m just chilled out, you’ll always catch me in a mad tracksuit. Normally a black tracksuit, I’m not really an out there person.
467
You can’t feed a cat with cream and food in the kitchen and expect him to go catch mice.
468
Swine flu is not an anomaly. We know that swine flu – like the vast majority of new outbreaks – comes from animals. We should be monitoring those animals and the humans that come into contact with them, so we can catch these viruses early, before they infect major cities and spread throughout the world.
469
And every friend I’ve got has been writing Mars stories. It was pretty clear I’d never catch up.
470
Being a tight end, you have to be able to do everything. You have to be able to run routes; you have to be able to block, pass-protect, and run with the ball after a catch. So, that’s how I attack my workouts – focusing on doing everything.
471
We, all of us, are awakening to the reality that how men have behaved toward women for eons is not OK. The rules are changing invisibly underneath our feet. I am playing catch up. Maybe we all are.
472
Somewhere in talking and rehearsing, there is a magical moment where actors catch a current, they’re on the right road. If they really catch it, then whatever they do from then on is correct and it all comes out of them from that point on.
473
My dad never forced me to do anything. But if I did it, if I decided to go play catch or basketball, he was hard on me. You had to do it the right way if you were going to do it. He never let me win.
474
Any time there is a new idea, it can take some time for policy to catch up to it.
475
I think the biggest challenge we faced in making ‘The September Issue’ was the fact that people in the fashion world are very suspicious of cameras. They’re used to a camera being the enemy, something that is prying and looking to catch you in a compromising position, something that’s judging you.
476
I catch the ball. You throw the ball, I catch it. You throw it close to me, I catch it. If you make me do something crazy to catch, I still catch it.
477
When you’re an independent wrestler, committing a lot of time and effort into honing your craft as much as possible in as many different places as possible will catch the WWE’s interest as far as the independent level goes.
478
Nothing would catch me off guard, because I understand the world I live in. I understand it very well. And the world I live in is not necessarily a fair or just world. I have dealt with these injustices for the bigger part of my life.
479
Sometimes, if you go to the same gyms, the fans catch on to that, and they start hanging out at the gyms. It becomes a little bit of a circus.
480
The glory of the big catch is applied more at wide receiver, and tight end would be an even match at my size. It’s such a huge advantage being on the outside.
481
I got my transferrable skills from working at entry-level, gauging what I wanted from my career, and making sure I had what it took to get the one I truly wanted. But now there’s a Catch 22: school leavers need experience to get jobs, but they can’t get experience without jobs.
482
When I’m fighting, I’m trying to find a reaction. I try to make the guy move; I try to make him do things that I want him to do. If he likes moving a certain way, I try to set something up so I catch him if he moves that way.
483
There is only one Mariano Rivera. There won’t be another person who will come along and do what he did. No one does it like him. It was an honor to catch him and play alongside him for as long as I did. He made my job as a catcher so much easier. Mariano is a special person and obviously a special player.
484
The music has a better feeling when you’re responding to what’s going on. Music is like playing handball, playing catch with someone, not playing golf. Everywhere the ball bounces is where you respond to it.
485
Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch a cold on overexposure.
486
If I’m connected to an idea, it just doesn’t let me go. All I have to do is catch up to the image in my head by doing the practical steps to get there.
487
The best tournament players actually try to avoid risky plays altogether. They prefer to wait for their opponents to make the risky moves. They’ll wait patiently until they catch a strong hand. When they do, they’ll take down their overly aggressive foes.
488
I catch myself judging myself as that 13-year-old boy, who, of course, rightfully points out that he is only a child. And my membership – well, I was drafted into the Waffen-SS and didn’t exactly volunteer, which was just as idiotic. I wanted to be on the submarines and then ended up with the Waffen-SS.
489
Buying a home wouldn’t make much sense if house prices were likely to decline further; no one wants to catch a falling knife.
490
The buffalo is all gone, and an Indian can’t catch enough jack rabbits to subsist himself and his family, and then, there aren’t enough jack rabbits to catch. What are they to do?
491
I was an only child of a father who loved me deeply, but we didn’t play catch, even though I was an athlete. We didn’t go fishing or hunting or any of the things I wanted to do. Why not? He just didn’t do that.
492
What’s the deal with Johnny Damon? He can’t hit. He can’t catch. He can’t throw. He’s sort of the five-tool guy… without any of the tools!
493
The audience is smart and catch on pretty quick when they are sold the same old thing.
494
My job is to catch the ball no matter how they throw it – hard, soft, medium. You’ve got to be able to catch it.
495
My view of myself doesn’t change. I know who I am. I’m Cuban American; both my parents are Cuban – one was a little browner than the other one. That’s who I am. I feel sorry that it’s taken so long for the film industry to figure it out and to catch up.
496
Waste Management was based in Chicago, but I lived in Ft. Lauderdale and for 10 years had to commute to work – catch the 5 P.M. Sunday flight to Chicago and the midnight return flight on Friday.
497
I think that, because of the way I catch, that I’m one of the best catchers to have ever played baseball.
498

499
I don’t work out or watch what I eat – but I need to start so it doesn’t catch up to me.
500

504

505
I try to stay in shape, I work out in the gym, take my vitamins every day, and I guess maybe I have some good genes, but lately I’ve been feeling it. You know, after all these years it does catch up with you. But just for now.
506

509
The spookiest thing for me is when I think I see something, and then nothing is there. I always imagine I see something, or I’ll catch movement out of the corner of my eye, but nothing is really there.
510
If I catch Corey Graves on the street, I’m gonna do something to him. I ain’t gonna do it at the office or the airport, but if I catch Corey Graves on the street, you see that little bouffant hairdo he got? I’m gonna rearrange it for him.
511
Whenever I have an opportunity, I catch a train and go to Wales and hire a car and drive around.

517
Like, I played baseball with all boys. They didn’t want to play catch with me. I mean, it’s the story of everything I’ve done.

To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.
519
The key is to hit the ball first, then the sand. Even if you catch it a bit thin, you’ll still get plenty of run. Hitting it fat is what you want to avoid.
520
It’s been cool to catch up, but I think I’m done with my exes. To be honest, I went out with flying colors on the majority of them.
521
I still catch myself trying to become the object someone imagines me to be, but then there are other times, when I am free, when I am fluent, when I am unimaginable, that I start to feel like somewhere out there is the decolonized love for me, somewhere out there, there is a love that doesn’t let any of us be so lonely.
522
I’m a walking advertisement for PBS and for the Discovery Channel. All of my DVR settings are pretty much set to record anything that’s on the Discovery Channel. I’m a big fan of ‘MythBusters’ and ‘Deadliest Catch,’ and I’m constantly watching ‘Moyers & Company’ and the ‘NewsHour’ and ‘Antiques Roadshow.’
523
When you sit down around the table, it’s a great time to catch up and share and talk about the day, and I think that can keep families connected and together.
524
Coming from a standing background in striking, I couldn’t catch up to the guys with 20-plus years of training on the ground. I had to learn submissions. I found out it wasn’t an easy road. I had six losses in a row, but I still felt I was the best fighter in the world.
525
We’ve got our football where no one wears anything and the guys are in little shorts and they beat the crap out of each other, and they can catch it and they can kick it, and it’s the only place it’s played in the world.

528
Baseball always gets credit for the foundational part of masculinity – the father thing. The eternal game of backyard catch, ‘Field of Dreams’, the Ripkens, the Griffeys, the Bondses, so on. But football is the real paternal game, because it’s a conveyor belt of father figures, in the form of coaches.
529
I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
530
Art is a dialogue. I’m throwing rocks across a chasm and hoping people catch them on the other side.

539
People who live together naturally catch the looks and air of one another and without having one feature alike, they contract a something in the whole countenance which strikes one as a resemblance.
540

541
Each goal, each win, going to different buildings, the rivalries, the excitement – it is something. I try to catch myself, you know, in the warm-ups, when you’re on the line and the anthem and you get to some milestones and stuff. It’s such a neat experience.
542
We realize all the struggles we have and all the things that catch our attention and our hearts – if we’re not ready for it, it will take control of us.
543

545

I live by fallacy. ‘If I get enough nice Ikea furniture, I’ll be a grown-up.’ Then I catch myself. Or, ‘If I get off by myself, away from the stress of modern life, I’ll be OK.’ Then I catch myself.
547
Little details about young footballers catch your eye when you have been around a big club for a long time. At first, it can be minor things, like the way certain young players stand out from the group when the academy lads cross paths with the senior team on their way to training in the morning.
548
Really, you don’t want to think about yards after the catch when the ball is in the air. You want to think about catching the ball. And then let the rest play its way out.
549
The U. S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.
550
A friend told me about the casting notice for ‘Queer Eye.’ I was in Chicago and I had a contract with ‘Esquire’ magazine, so had been coming to New York City regularly and thought I’d catch a cheap flight, crash on a friend’s sofa and do this hilarious audition that I had no chance of winning.
551
To me, part of the beauty of a comma is that it offers a rest, like one in music: a break that gives the whole piece of music greater shape, deeper harmony. It allows us to catch our breath.
552
I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend’s house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.
553
With songs I almost see the images, see the action, and then all I have to do is describe it. It’s almost like watching a scene from a film, and that’s what I go about trying to catch in a song.
554
In this day and age, in modern goalkeeping, if you come out and you catch the ball and you get smacked, you’re going to get the foul.

557
Early rising will enhance your productivity, improve your mental outlook, and give you time to exercise, catch up on email, or just have breakfast with your family. In short, if you want to become more successful, it’s a good idea to jump out of bed earlier.
558
Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever.
559

560
The moment I finish ‘any’ book, my feels are pretty much the same. Goes a little something like this: It’s done? Whimper. Tears of joy. Oh, my back. Relief! Shower! Food! Sleep! Oh, my back. You mean I get to catch up on my favorite TV shows? Tears of joy. Oh, my back.
561
I try to make things as versatile as possible. Usually, you have to listen to one artist for a certain vibe and another artist to catch the next vibe. I want to make an album that has all of that in there.
562
In baseball, you can do something poorly and still get credit. A pitcher could throw a bad ball, the batter hit a screaming line drive, and an outfielder make a fantastic diving catch. Yet, when you look at historical databases, 80% of the time when a ball is struck with that trajectory and velocity, it is a hit.
563
I went to business school so what they teach you in business school was that success is about positioning yourself to get lucky. It’s not just about how hard you work. It is also about a little bit of luck. To position yourself to catch the luck when it comes.
564
Daddy had a farm – cows, pigs, OK, a big garden, OK? We did live off the land, and then we would supplement all that with whatever we could kill or catch. Whether we’d kill squirrels, deer, duck, or caught catfish or brim, that was what went on the table.
565
You can’t throw a hook on the side of the road and expect to catch a fish in the grass.
566
I am someone who pays attention to the currents that are going on socially in terms of what people want. When I catch wind of the types of matches people want, those are the matches I want, too.
567

568
We like to party but to be the best partiers in the world you’ve gotta be serious, you’ve gotta plan that stuff out. You’ve gotta wake up the next day and catch that plane to the next show and perform a great show.
569
Competition for places can only benefit you. If you know you’ve got that much competition, then you’re just going to have to work that extra bit harder so you can catch the gaffer’s eye.
570
Go to the doctor, get a checkup, and get Pap smears regularly. Cervical cancer is very preventable, and if you catch it early, there are tons of ways to treat it as well.
571

572
People always catch you on mistakes and they don’t look at the good things you do.
573

574

577

579
If you’re gay and you can’t hold hands, or you’re black and you can’t catch a taxi, or you’re a woman and you can’t go into the park, you are aware there’s a menace. That’s costly on a psychic level. The world should be striving to make all its members secure.
580
At Kentucky, that was my job – coming off screens, catch and shoot, spacing the floor – no hesitations. Just go right into my shot – don’t focus on the defender.
581
Whatever I’m throwing out there in my work, you either catch that detail because you’re ready to catch it, but if you’re not, that’s OK – you’re still being entertained.
582

583
A healthy attitude is contagious but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
584
Noir deals with the disenfranchised: people who can’t catch a break under normal circumstances. In noir books, you root for these people, but you know they are going to fail. That’s what makes them so compellingly human. I can relate to that kind of stuff.
585
With crime fiction, you have to write a half-dozen before they catch on.

589

590
A child’s spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back.
591
Sometimes my backswing gets long, and I get in bad positions. The club also can get behind me coming down, so I have to flip my hands to catch up to my body.
592
Here’s the thing: I was charming. Well read and well spoken. Observant and even kind. In other words, I was kind of a catch. And I knew this was true. As long as you couldn’t see me. If you saw me, you’d think I was the sea cow that had swallowed your catch.
593
It often happens that the man who pursues the dollar too diligently finds it hard to catch, but if he will pursue some other and better goal, dollars come around to see what sort of fellow he is.

596
For me, it’s about eating a bunch of fruit and exercising, which opens up the creativity, makes it easier to give ideas a chance and bubble to the surface.

597
I figured out how to catch fugitives without a gun.
598
If we lived in a time where people couldn’t watch ‘Lost’ on Hulu or record it on their DVR, we wouldn’t necessarily have succeeded. We need people to be able to catch up. Now you choose when you watch TV. We wouldn’t have survived in the old days because people would have missed episodes.
599
You have to catch the breaks.
600
Most of Google’s home technologies have failed to catch on in a major way.
601
I like fishing as much when I don’t catch anything as when I do.
602
When a big play occurs for our team, I’m concentrating on how the defense is reacting to it. Most of the time, I don’t see the great catch or the long run. What I’m looking at is how the other team defended it.
603
I love to eat. If I could eat everything in the world and still be healthy or wouldn’t catch a heart attack or stroke, I’d eat everything. I just can’t. So I got to watch my health and take care of my family.
604
If we rush too quickly to be scientific, to begin our experiment or catch our criminal as soon as possible, we risk never getting to the answer at all.
605
My job is to give everyone a chance to catch their breath and step back from all this and get back to work.
606
I remember trying to stay up late and catch as much ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ as I could, and then ‘King of the Hill.’

If you’re going to scream and yell and pull a groin when calling a catch, you have to really make sure what you’re seeing is actually what’s happening.
608
I try to come in with a focus to stop my man and win the game. I’m always trying to be ready to catch them off their strides by being physical enough without getting fouls.
609
I know the college rule is if they push you out of bounds, you can come back in and catch the ball, but I think the NFL rule is it doesn’t matter how you get out of bounds, you can’t be the first one to touch the ball. That’s what I think it is, I’m not really sure on that.
610
I understand what it can feel like when people are bullying you, and you can’t just seem to catch a break, and people don’t see who you are. And people completely paint their own picture. And you’re supposed to zip it and just go along with whatever they say.
611
You will never, ever catch me at the gym.
612
If I hear that Quito, Ecuador, is doing something to have a whole area of town that’s zero emissions, and we’re thinking about that in Los Angeles’ downtown, I’m like, ‘I better catch up.’

614
Once the stories end up getting farfetched and ridiculous, I think that’s where superhero fatigue will really catch on.
615
There is nothing so beautiful as the free forest. To catch a fish when you are hungry, cut the boughs of a tree, make a fire to roast it, and eat it in the open air, is the greatest of all luxuries. I would not stay a week pent up in cities if it were not for my passion for art.
616
I sometimes catch up ‘Simi Selects India’s Most Desirable.’ Sometimes I watch reality dance shows, too. And yes, the strangest of all is that I watch ‘Tom and Jerry’ on Cartoon Network with my son.
617
I’m the diva from the future. The next gig’s on the moon. Catch me while you can.
618
Some millennials have completely stopped watching TV. So for them, we’ve created special digital content for handheld devices only. We’ve paid close attention to how to present online content effectively. We try to catch their attention within the first five seconds – otherwise, they click onto a different content.
619
I had a great grandmother who believed in so many strange superstitions. She used to tell the future from the things that catch on to the hem of your skirt when you’ve been sewing, and different colored threads would mean different things… Of course, all that influenced me quite a lot as a child.
620
I like things that catch your ears.
