I believe life is an 'experience ball.' You throw it at someone, it picks up their response... it grows. You play with that ball, learning what it teaches you.

Vijay Sethupathi

When I was 11 I was scouted by the Thames Valley under-21s. It was really daunting. I was scared for my life when I went in to bat. The first ball hit me on the leg, the second ball got me out, so it wasn't great but it made me stronger.

Isa Guha

Only great players can have two shots for one ball, like Tendulkar does, and a big reason is that he picks the ball very early.

Virender Sehwag

My husband cannot throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times.

Gisele Bundchen

While we can prove that almost all numbers in the continuum are random, we cannot prove that any specific number is indeed random.

Heinz Pagels

A random sequence is one that cannot be algorithmically compressed : the shortest description of a random sequence is simply the sequence itself.

Gregory Chaitin

Every time you run a 35mm print, it picks up scratches. It picks up dirt. Sometimes it breaks, and you have to re-splice it. You lose frames. This doesn't happen with digital or Blu-ray. I think that's great. Because I love the new media.

William Friedkin

We always try to encourage more songs sung by Kim, because there are always requests for it. I certainly don't want to ball hog all the singing.

Thurston Moore

A man picks a wife about the same way an apple picks a farmer.

Evan Esar

Life cannot have had a random beginning. ... The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10 to the 40,000 power, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup.

Fred Hoyle

But when Gronk scores - it was like his eighth touchdown of the year - he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball. But I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes.

Tom Brady

The reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.

Erykah Badu

A boy cannot begin playing ball too early. I might almost say that while he is still creeping on all fours he should have a bouncing rubber ball.

Christy Mathewson

In 2007, I went to work in Beverly Hills as an intern at The Collective, a talent management agency. I'd been scouted for the job because of a blog I'd started in college and because the blogger-turned-author I worked for, Tucker Max, was producing a project with the company.

Ryan Holiday

Usually, when I liked athletes growing up, it was because they could hit a ball very far or they can throw a ball very fast. They can shoot a jumper, or they can dunk the ball.
