David McNeill
171
Making music is an inward and outward gesture at once. I make it because I’m communing with a side of myself that might help me look people in the eye. But at the same time, I’m reaching out, in a way.
172
An awful lot of England is slowly eroding, in ways that I find really distressing, and an awful lot of it is the hedgerows… We’re reaching the point where a lot of the English countryside looks just like Iowa – just kind of open space.
173
I remember reaching college and having to introduce myself at every class, it was terrifying. I waited fists clenched as one by one my classmates said their names out loud and when it was my turn I simpered and squeezed out a barely audible introduction, my face burned as if it was on fire.
174
The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.
175
O.P.N. has always been about reaching for some kind of liminal state in which opposing aesthetic forces become entangled and confused and equal.
176
The largest newspaper in the United States is only reaching 1 percent of population. We are kind of assuming that ‘Wall Street Journal,’ ‘USA Today,’ and other newspapers are very important. Yes, they’re extremely important, but only to 1 percent of the population on a daily basis.
177
I think there were a lot of people at Mankato reaching out to the Vikings saying to just bring me in for a tryout.
178
It will be hard for us and it will be an achievement just to get out of the group stages and through to the quarterfinals, but I am personally dreaming of reaching the final!
Andriy Shevchenko
179
I’d happily just stay on the road. Getting home from America, sitting in my kitchen with a cup of tea, staring out of the window is pretty depressing. I didn’t have a tour manager to tell me what to do so I had to start reaching out to people and making plans. That was hard. You become very vegetable-y.
180
When we reach reflexively for something to dull an ache inside of us, in that very moment of reaching, we are hiding from our pain. We’re storing it away. Tamping it down.
181
First thing in the morning, it’s very important to eat quickly. So I’m reaching for eggs.
182
If I had one piece of advice for people – if they are cooking from the Alinea cookbook, the Betty Crocker cookbook or the back of the box – read through the entire recipe first before reaching for any ingredients, and then read again and execute the directions.
183
Unlike economics, whose sole preoccupation in our finance-obsessed era is the near-term profit motive, history offers a way to place our tiny lifespans in a narrative that spans dozens of generations – perhaps even reaching into a future where capitalism is no longer our dominant form of economic organization.
184
People will give you the responsibility, even the authority, to go after the big things, the visionary things, the reaching for incredible opportunities, if they trust that you’re running a city well. And if you don’t run a city well, conversely, you can’t do the big things.
185
When I see people that are my age and reaching 50, the ones that are really sparkly and full of joy are the ones that are committed to something bigger than themselves.
186
From the boardroom to the bedroom, we’re connected 24/7, yet loneliness is at an all-time high. More people are reaching for mobile devices than for the hand of someone in need. Where did our humanity go?
Elizabeth Kapu’uwailani Lindsey
187
I don’t I don’t really care what people expect me to do at these Games. It’s all about me. It might sound a little selfish, but it’s what I want to accomplish and reaching my potential. Everything else, everybody else‘s opinion, they can kick rocks.
188
Of course, to be WWE world champion is definitely on my list. Anybody who is not reaching for that proverbial brass ring is doing something wrong if they’re in the WWE.
189
I’m manifestly not the same as Alex Salmond. I’m a different gender, for example… I’m being flippant, but maybe this is a partly gender-driven difference: I’m very keen that we find a way of reaching out across party divides to find things we agree on, as well as the things we disagree on.
190
We are all busy. It’s easy to find excuses for not reaching out to others, but I imagine they will sound as hollow to our Heavenly Father as the elementary school boy who gave his teacher a note asking that he be excused from school March 30th through the 34th.
191
Ocarina of Time.’ If that phrase elicits any sort of emotional reaction inside of you, then we really have something in common. When that game came out, I was just reaching the age when N64 was in its prime.
192
With four perfectionists in the band, we have a hard time reaching perfection.
193
It’s always been an ambition of mine to play in the Premier League and I feel, if I moved to Wolves then I’d have an excellent chance of reaching what many believe is the greatest league in the world.
194
Everyone should fail in a big way at least once before reaching forty.
Allen Neuharth
195
Individuals cannot be free if there are impediments to reaching their full potential as human beings.
196
I grew up in a house where service to the country was a way of life, not a means of reaching a personal goal.
197
Keeping a ‘CEO blog‘ or ‘founder‘s blog’ can be a great platform for engaging your users in a nontraditional way, reaching people outside of your product pitch and building rapport without selling them anything except a belief in your ideas.
198
2015 was obviously a great year. I achieved a few of my long-standing goals, which is very rewarding. I’m still working hard to achieve some of my other goals, like reaching the top 5 in the world rankings and qualifying for the World Tour Finals.
199
I represented many of these kids as they become young adults in the criminal justice system when I was a public defender. One way of reaching out is by the mind of experimentation.
200
Over the years I must have spent thousands of hours silently brushing on the liquid coatings, preparing each sheet in anticipation of reaching the perfect print.
Irving Penn
201
The Republican Party just isn’t held in high repute in the black community. Under Bill Brock we were reaching out to broaden the base of the party. We have to go back to that.
Charles H. Percy
202
I’m somebody who tries to remain positive and looks forward to setting goals and reaching them. But that’s easier said than done.
203
Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level – and that’s never going to get lost.
204
The path to achieving your goals, as an entrepreneur or as part of a company, is just as important as reaching them. That’s something I hope men can see as well. If you’re going to be stepping on people to get there, that’s not good. It doesn’t matter if you get there if you leave a path of destroyed people behind you.
205
We need to close the tap, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place.
206
I wouldn’t give up my career for somebody. The most important thing to me is my work, and reaching people through my work. It’s so important to me. It’s my passion.
Adelaide Kane
207
It’s really idealistic and hippy-dippy but I do believe film is a really powerful tool for reaching people.
208
I think differently, I think it’s about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that’s great. If I could do a classical version, that’ll be great too. It’s all just about expression.
209
In 2008, Barack Obama did a phenomenal job of reaching out to minority groups, to younger people, and a lot of newer voters, Hispanics being one component of that definition of newer voters.
210
Expectations are not based on reality. They are observations, expected realities, or beliefs of what you think will happen. Expectations of others stop us from acting as our highest selves and reaching our full potential.
211
I was that kid with the glasses and the hungry expression who haunted every library book sale and used bookstore in town: the one who always has a book in one hand and is reaching for the next book with the other. There’s one in every town.
212
I tried reaching out to my daughter via her family members but they couldn’t get me access or straight answers. I know she will come and find me when the time is right.
213
So many people are focused on reaching the top of an imaginary ladder that they don’t enjoy the climb.
214
The remarks about my reaching the age of Social Security and coming to the end of the road, they jolted me. And that was good. Because I sure as hell had no intention of just sitting around for the rest of my life. So I’d whip out the paints and really go to it.
215
For me specifically, after travelling around the world I noticed that performers who had web shows had huge international popularity and that segued into a lot of events reaching out to book them.
216
My dad had a dream of his kids reaching the NFL. My older brother was actually the first to make it. His career didn’t really last too long, but he always had more passion for documentaries.
217
The Way is not a religion: Christianity is the end of religion. ‘Religion’ means here the division between sacred and secular concerns, other-worldliness, man’s reaching toward God in a way which projects his own thoughts.
David Kirk
218
When I read, I take notes and underline things. So reading is a vigorous process for me, but I read in bed. My poor husband is trying to go to sleep, and I’m reaching over him to get the Post-it notes.
219
Never stop taking risks. Just keep reaching.
220
Reading a Lydia Davis story collection is like reaching into what you think is a bag of potato chips and pulling out something else entirely: a gherkin, a pepper corn, a truffle, a piece of beef jerky.
221
Whether you’re reaching for one of your favorite cookbooks or just winging it, do your best to keep a well-stocked arsenal of healthy ingredients at your disposal. At the very least, you’ll always be ready to whip up a green juice or smoothie.
222
It’s not about how much screen time I have, what matters is reaching out to a huge number of people.
223
I like intensity. If it’s too mellow, I feel like, bleah. I like intensity, because it’s way of reaching spaces inside of you, and it’s my need of knowledge, of knowing about myself regardless.
224
I try not to get too rattled about things that aren’t that important – there’s a different outburst for when the kids are reaching for a knife in the kitchen versus the reaction I have when they just won‘t stop talking. And my wife and I have mellowed out as we’ve gone along.
225
Little girls and boys, barefooted, walked up and down between the endless rows of spindles, reaching thin little hands into the machinery to repair snapped threads.
226
I’ve done a pretty good job of hitting 18-34-year-old males, and not such a good job of reaching kids. Disney has done a great job of reaching kids, but maybe not the 18-34-year-olds. I figure I can learn a lot from Disney, and maybe, I don’t know, they can learn a lot from me.
227
If you don’t feel you’re reaching something new, then don’t do it.
228
When we’re able to identify disparities in education, we can better determine whether federal grant programs are effectively reaching our students, allowing us to improve how to distribute and implement these funds across communities.
229
Kids who dream of reaching the top must grow up looking forward to the big games which define them at every level they play – from Sunday morning in the park to non-League, the top four divisions, Europe and the World Cup.
230
Donald Trump is a champion of women. He recognizes that we add to the conversation, and that certainly something as Republican Party chair I’m going to be reaching out to women all across this country.
231
And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn’t have the nerve.
232
When it comes to creating emotional wellbeing, we are only going to achieve this, I believe, if we help each other in that effort. Part of that is reaching out and building social connections in people who may not always have the social connections or the support that they need.
233
I had no desire to leave ECW, but in ’95, I was reaching my mid 30s. I’d been the World Champ multiple times… I’d pretty much done everything in ECW – all I could do is repeat.
234
Cut the things out of your life that keep you from reaching your dream. It doesn’t matter if it’s cooking or belly dancing.
Kathleen Flinn
235
What keeps me up at night? Sometimes it’s day-to-day work stuff. And a lot of the times, it’s, ‘Am I making the wrong decisions in terms of reaching young women?’
236
I should say I am not much of a gamer – anymore. The reason for this is that I have to make a living, and my body requires vitamin D, and I’ve come to value the heady pleasures of human interaction over the temporary exhilaration of reaching the ‘next level.’
237
I think a lot of what I wanted to do in 2014 was build a repertoire or a portfolio for what I can do with traditional celebrities or with brands or whatever. Maybe 2015 is the year I start reaching out to people I always dreamed to do stuff with.
238
I have tested my nerve by reaching a little too closely toward a lengthy alligator on the Gulf Coast and a saucer-sized tarantula in a Houston car park.
239
From aerial robotics to big data analytics, technology presents the opportunity to expedite and magnify the impact of humanitarian relief efforts through greater efficiency and responsiveness: reaching more people, sooner, more cost-effectively, and saving more lives.
240
Success isn’t about reaching your goals; it’s about striving for things, like the joy of trying to raise a family, trying to be a successful singer, trying to write good songs, trying to be a better person. It’s that old thing about life being about the journey, not the destination.
241
Getting a reward for reaching certain sales targets is certainly attractive.
242
Whether we buy into the rhetoric or not, one thing has been made clear: Illegal immigration is a problem reaching a breaking point, and something must be done.
243
You have to keep going. The main attention is for us to stay alive and stay a band. You only really become very successful when you stick together. Just keep going and reaching bigger and better.
Dan Hawkins
244
The open letter has always been an interesting rhetorical strategy – a way of delivering a pointed message to a specific individual or group while also reaching a wide audience.
245
If I’m going to try to achieve something, regardless of how tough it might and the obstacles I face, I grit my teeth and go for it or I don’t do it at all. It’s about reaching the goals you’ve set with the opportunities you’ve been given.
246
When I entered the music industry, the biggest struggle was reaching out to people.
247
Such decisions will be far reaching and difficult. But you never lacked courage in the past. Your courage is now needed for the future.
248
If we can go some way to creating a vibrant anaerobic digestion industry here in the U.K., we will be reaching our goals both in terms of economics and the environment.
Jacob Rothschild
249
It does not bother me whether my work is reaching the audience through cinema, TV or a web series.
250
The theater is reaching as many different demographics as it can now.
251
Lyrics have become so dumbed down nowadays. People don’t want to have to think about lyrics anymore, they just want to be told something. Until these great things started happening with us, I’d really given up on reaching people like that.
252
Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
253
Yes, I realize when I’m reaching out to people and asking them to talk about the most traumatic thing to happen in their lives, I have to be really sensitive and thoughtful.
254
If you’re reaching for a local reference to drop for a place that is typical of everything wrong with Britain, you would switch between Croydon or Bromley. There is a lot of deprivation there, but it’s not one of the poorest parts of the country.
255
We have reached an important milestone and achieved a new momentum in reaching a goal all Americans should embrace – building a secure, peaceful, democratic Iraq that is no longer a threat to the United States or the international community.
256
Growing up, I was from kind of Nowhere, Maine. And, so, now having thousands of people reaching out to me via social media and thousands of people paying attention to what I say, that’s really weird.
257
I was in my 20s when I started writing my goals down, assigning each a date that I would achieve them by. I was amazed when I started reaching these goals by the date I had listed on them. It was a daily visualization exercise, and it almost always works.
258
Whenever I do someone’s portrait, I’m trying to locate the photo in the lens while reaching into that person psychologically. There’s the magic! I don’t always achieve it. It’s a hit or a miss!
Gerard Malanga
259
The experience of being on a show that is very much in the center of popular culture is exciting. You really feel like you’re reaching people.
260
I was part of a generation that believed in socialism and finally found that belief corroded and destroyed. That is not renouncing Communism or socialism. It’s reaching a certain degree of enlightenment about what the Soviet Union practices.
Howard Fast
261
We all have vulnerabilities that can sidetrack us from reaching our goals. Recognize the times when you’re most likely to give into temptation, and make it harder for a single moment of weakness to sabotage your best efforts.
262
If you can see these people… as human beings and capable of change, there is hope. We should be willing to reach out. Imagine what could happen if we kept reaching out to people like Westboro members?
263
Races always are good to show where you are reaching in your training as well as to keep you sharpened. Every race, in my program, I put it in a special way like a ladder, climbing up slowly and slowly to the next one. I see where my training is, and that is like a test.
264
For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.
265
There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.
266
It’s extremely damaging to a fair trial to have people reaching judgment about the case in the newspapers and on the radio before the facts are heard in a case.
267
False news, when combined with social media, can wreak havoc thanks to its potential of reaching millions in a short span. The effects can be quite disturbing.
268
We pursued many actions against foreclosure rescue scammers who were reaching into the pockets of desperate people in an effort to steal what little remained as they sought to keep their homes.
269
Instagram has a faster chance of reaching me than CNN, and if I really want to know what’s going on, I refresh my Twitter feed.
270
The Creator of the seas, sands, and endless stars is reaching out to you this very day! He is offering the grand recipe for happiness, peace, and eternal life!
271
I really wanted to buy a Range Rover. It was a big dream, and the day I bought it, I was very happy, but by evening, I was immune to it. That’s when I realized that excitement, if it’s happiness, is not in reaching the goal but in the process. Thus process trumps over realization.
272
What’s cool is when people send me messages or tag me in their photos, which definitely happens more after a project comes out. The best part, I think, is that the DMs and tags are always from young girls, and reaching them is the most important thing for me.
273
From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.
274
That’s one of the great things about DVD: In addition to reaching people who didn’t catch the movie in theaters, you get to have this interaction of sorts.
275
If you’re making entertainment on a grand scale, if you’re reaching millions, there will be tens of thousands of people who absolutely hate us, and some percentage of those will take it upon themselves to let us known how they feel.
276
We’re seeing how the videos translate to the live shows and how the technology is really reaching kids.
277
We have to recognize that we can help increase happiness of other people by reaching out, and building connections. People have done that for me in my life. There have been many times that my family and friends have reached out to help support me and contributed to my emotional wellbeing, and ultimately to my health.
278
I think the Internet is right on time. I think it’s very important. It’s reaching out to millions of people. Even the most slimiest and grimiest hood cats out got iPhones and Smartphones so they’re able to view everything on the Internet, so they’re well in tuned to what’s going on.
279
Teach For America was built on the idea that our best hope of reaching ‘One Day‘ is to have thousands of alumni use their diverse experiences and ideas to effect change from inside and outside the education system.
280
Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.
281
Emmitt Smith has run past legends, danced with stars and posed for the sculptor crafting his Hall of Fame bust. He’s built upon his athletic talents by working hard, seizing opportunities and reaching out to others for advice when he needed it.
282
Made in Catteland is a project that aims to overcome the boundaries of the work of art as we’re used to thinking of it: exploring new possibilities of reaching the audience through the creation of new forms of art.
283
I want to keep grabbing, keep reaching, keep crawling, keep grinding and excelling until I can go no higher.
284
I’ll always be known reaching out to young people who have no one to help them out, so I help them out with a place to stay or some food to eat or some change for their pocket.
285
Every country faces its own obstacles to reaching gender equality, and to make a real difference, we must change public policies in tandem with stereotypes, attitudes, and behaviors.
286
If a club has the cups it has, you have to think that Real Madrid is always capable of reaching the final and winning it.
287
It’s music ultimately that matters in opera, and opera is a piece of music reaching out as a vision in sound reaching out to the world.
John Eaton
288
The number one thing small business needs is to get more customers. Spend more time serving existing customers and getting new ones. The challenge for small business is knowing where customers are and reaching them effectively.
289
It’s quite obvious that the ‘Dark Soulsfranchise is reaching a turning point, and I’m happy that I have a greater budget for the third game, as well as the creative freedom to make my own decisions. But if there were some restrictions about what I was creating, I definitely wouldn’t want to work on it.
290
Obviously I want to win all the big tournaments – I would hate to look back and not have won them. I also think, for me, there’s something about reaching a certain level rather than getting a certain number of wins.
291
I grew up in a family that was committed to service, to reaching out and helping others. That’s what inspired me to work in public service.
292
I’ve been surprised at how much an unknown like myself can accomplish just by reaching out to people and pleading my case. Quotes for the book cover, reviews and interviews, readings and radio appearances – all this by simply moving ahead and making contact with folks I thought might enjoy the writing.
293
I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different.
294
Reaching out to other people is important work. I am so pleased and honored that I’m getting the attention from the young people on social media. It’s been missing.
295
We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching.
296
Throughout his remarkable business and government career, Robert Rubin, now 65, has both worked exhaustively at reaching well-founded conclusions and rejected the idea that anything – and he means anything – can be a ‘provable certainty.’
297
I don’t think President Obama has been that revolutionary in reaching out to ethnic communities. President Reagan did a lot for the black community that people don’t realize.
298
Take risks. Ask big questions. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; if you don’t make mistakes, you’re not reaching far enough.
David Packard
299
I am for everyone, every single person, Israeli, Palestinian, to have equal access to opportunities, to feel safe where they live, and to really be a genuine partner and a visionary around reaching peace in that region.
300
There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.
Bernard Meltzer
301
This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues.
302
Our problem is not adopting reforms, which we will do without question. It is not reaching an objective, which we will meet. But it is finding an end to the recession.
Yiannis Stournaras
303
For me, ‘Atmosphere‘ was more about looking inwards and reaching out to people close to me. To emphasize the fact that I’m singing on the first single, this album is really more about me and songs that I’ve written instead of collaborating with people.
304
Time and energy are finite. You only have so many hours in a day and so many days of your life. The solution to using your time wisely isn’t about exerting more energy – eventually you’ll run out of steam. The key to reaching your greatest potential is about working smarter, not harder.
305
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
Ronald Blythe
306
On reaching the place where the Indians had surprised us, we found the bodies of the three men whom they had killed and scalped, and literally cut into pieces.
307
Architecture is the reaching out for the truth.
Louis Kahn
308
In a free market capitalist system, ‘price signals‘ are everything. Prices are determined by buyers and sellers in the free market, and these prices are broadcast from the exchanges, reaching all corners of the economy – where they are used to transact business.
309
I think we have to acknowledge that the way to get back into the majority into the Congress and pick up seats is to make sure we are a big-tent party and reaching out to people that are moderate and not just push to the left.
310
I have been cooking with preserved lemon for years, using it left, right and centre, but I am still far from reaching my limit.
311
It’s weird how the Internet changes everything. The kind of narrow casting… instead of reaching for a broad audience, you are reaching for a more targeted audience.
312
American churches work very hard at reaching out to people to bring them in.
313
I think he’s informing himself, reaching out and getting ideas and information and advice. I haven‘t the slightest doubt that internally taking shape in that marvelous brain of his is a philosophy of foreign affairs. But it would be premature to say that one is fully formed.
314
I look back at ‘Saturday Night Live‘ and I think, some people didn’t like me doing ‘Weekend Update.’ Who cares? A lot of people did. When you’re reaching that many people, you’re not going to have everybody like you.
315
As I grow up, and knowing that the people who I’m reaching are so young, it for sure changes my perspective on how I want to be perceived.
316
Inclusion and transparency have been mainstays of my leadership. It’s about education and reaching out.
317
I am amused when somebody tries to illustrate the first email using a modern keyboard and a finger reaching for the ‘2’ key. Wrong key! The @ was on the ‘P’ key.
Ray Tomlinson
318
We go along, without a fixed itinerary, yet at the same time with an end (what end?) in mind, and with the aim of reaching the end. A search for the end, a dread of the end: the obverse and the reverse of the same act.
319
There was a time when pop music and rock music were really reaching for the stars and were not ashamed to be experimental. You think of a song like ‘Shout‘ by Tears for Fears. That’s a massive global No. 1 hit, and yet the subject matter is very dark.
320
More and more companies are reaching out to their suppliers and contractors to work jointly on issues of sustainability, environmental responsibility, ethics, and compliance.
321
A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.
Martin Buber
322
If I’m going to have something rich and yummy, I’m not reaching for prepackaged brownies. I’m going to make a pie from scratch.
323
I used to isolate a lot, but now I’ve been reaching out and leaning on other people.
324
Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there – or failing to get there.
Max Lerner
325
We Finns represent a very transparent and open-minded way of reaching political decisions.
326
The suggestion that we were pursuing consolidation as a replacement for reaching our financial targets by 2018 is fundamentally a bunch of hogwash.
327
Comedy is a tool of togetherness. It’s a way of putting your arm around someone, pointing at something, and saying, ‘Isn’t it funny that we do that?’ It’s a way of reaching out.
328
I always wanted to see if I could sell a movie to the public without doing any marketing because my philosophy was like, ‘Hey man, I’m reaching my audience everyday. I’m twittering with them. I’m in direct contact with them on the podcast.’
329
I feel as if my mission is to write, to see, to observe, and I feel lazy if I’m not reaching conclusions. I feel stupid. I feel as if I’m wasting my time.
330
I think the illest thing about Wiz Khalifa is how true to himself he’s always been, and I miss that from artists. Nothing about what he does ever felt like he was reaching to be something that he wasn’t.
