A Quote by Rasheed Wallace

Offence doesn't concern me. It's easier for people to get layups than it is to get stops on defence or a block.

Sometimes, I, anyway, get tired of playing defence, and like to play offence.

Bill McKibben

I think it is well . . . for the man in the street to realise there is no power on earth that can protect him from bombing, whatever people may tell him. The bomber will always get through. The only defence is in offence, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly than the enemy if you want to save yourselves.

Stanley Baldwin

I remember when I was 8 years old when I first started playing organized basketball, and the coaches had the kids in single file doing two-line layups and they were struggling to get the ball up there. Me, I'm doing reverse cradle layups with the backhand spins on it, like, jump from the right side and lay it up on the left side backwards.

Jamal Crawford

It's good to be good at playing defence, but the best defence is a strong offence.

Chrystia Freeland

An O'Toole government will pass a Freedom of Movement Act that will make it a criminal offence to block a railway, airport, port, or major road, or to block the entrance to a business or household in a way that prevents people from lawfully entering or leaving.

Erin O'Toole

I shoot all kinds of shots. I just don't stay on the block and do layups and dunks when I'm in the gym by myself.

Jahlil Okafor

People say that I must get bothered when someone stops me for an autograph or a photo. I'll get bothered when no one asks me. Being asked means people haven't forgotten the time I played.

Guy Lafleur

For me, as a coach, it is important to put together a team that not only blends but finds the right balance between defence and offence.

Jupp Heynckes

If surgeons don't get surgeon's block, then why are you allowed to get writer's block?

Cory Doctorow

This was something that was obsessing me and creating a writer's block. To get involved and get stuck in, get the proper information about what's going on has really helped.

Thom Yorke

'Tis easier for the generous to forgive, than for offence to ask it.

James Thomson

The myth stems from the belief that writing is some mystical process. That it's magical. That it abides by its own set of rules different from all other forms of work, art, or play.But that's bullshit. Plumbers don't get plumber's block. Teachers don't get teacher's block. Soccer players don't get soccer block. What makes writing different? Nothing. The only difference is that writers feel they have a free pass to give up when writing is hard.

Patrick Rothfuss

Some time ago I took a trip on the Hudson and Manhattan Transit System. Not being familiar with the names of the various stops, I asked the man next to me the name of the station where we had just stopped. He replied, "I've been riding this line for fifteen years and I only know two stops: where I get on and where I get off."
