A Quote by Edna O'Brien

There was always a real reason for everything - why spoons tarnished, and jam furred, and people declined into God, or drink, or card games.

I was always into sports games. Never really played anything else. I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam.

Chris Paul

The dimensions of video game characters, even when they're scanned from real people, are beefed up with exaggerated proportions in games like Def Jam: Fight for NY to give them more pop.

Cliff Bleszinski

The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.

Paul Washer

Rummy is one of the easiest of all card games to learn. More people understand the rules of Rummy than of any other card game.

Albert H. Morehead

God has a plan for everybody's life, so there was obviously a reason why He wanted me to go to Notre Dame. Everything happens for a reason.

Justin Tuck

Def Jam is the reason why I started a label.

El-P

I've always been a fan of football, always watched the NFL and it's great to always sit back wherever I can this year. You sit back and enjoy the games, pop a little sports drink - not any pop or soda - lay back, watch the games. It's always cool to see how the games go down and just enjoy them.

Rob Gronkowski

And we'd drink huge amounts of scotch and coke, which is a ghastly sweet drink... And now people don't drink nearly as much, for good reason. We're all a little wiser.

Bill Bruford

I feel like my competition is everything else that's competing for people's attention, not just other print magazines, newspapers and cable. It's your kid's report card and the games you want to play, all the things that compete for people's time.

Nancy Gibbs

We do not focus test our games and never had. People ask why we don't, and I say, 'I have so many opinions in this studio, I don't need anymore!' We really debate everything - and it's a good debate. That's why the games turn out well: it's not me - it's not this guy - it's the collective. Together, we figure out what we want.

Todd Howard

I love card games, and I've always loved board games and stuff like that as a kid, and I think it's that part of your brain that's engaged in con movies. It's like this 'Who's outsmarting whom?'

John C. Reilly

Sometimes asking God for a reason for something is like asking Him why the sky is blue. There is a complex, scientific reason for it, Claire, but most children, including you, are content with knowing it is blue because it is. If we understood everything about everything, we would have no need for faith.

Susan Meissner

I've never really gone out and told people, 'I'm a Christian. I believe in God, and that is the reason why I'm successful. That is the reason why I'm still here doing what I'm doing.'

Ken Shamrock

One game I'm always on is 'NBA Jam.' And 'Bejeweled,' games like that, and 'Temple Run.'

Kyrie Irving

When people give you their stated reason for doing something always assume they are giving you a reason that sounds good, but not the real reason.

James Altucher

I wanted a drink. There were a hundred reasons why a man will want a drink, but I wanted one now for the most elementary reason of all. I didn't want to feel what I was feeling, and a voice within was telling me that I needed a drink, that I couldn't bear it without it. But that voice is a liar. You can always bear the pain. It'll hurt, it'll burn like acid in an open wound, but you can stand it. And, as long as you can make yourself go on choosing the pain over the relief, you can keep going.
