The idea of flying in general does not appeal to me. I can barely understand why people want to fly at all, other than that it's occasionally necessary.

The first half was unbelievable. He knew in order for us to win, he had to initiate the offense, look to get guys involved and then in the second half, he took over. Those are things you see him evolve, day-in and day-out and it was good to see him do the things he did tonight. But I think everyone understands the type of player that he is. The scary thing is he's barely scratching the surface.

It's one thing to get 4 or 5 inches of rain over 24 hours, it's quite another to get it so quickly. It's got to go somewhere. Conversely, Philadelphia and Trenton got barely an inch. Their problems came the next day with the water coming downstream.

It's very difficult to track. They don't have one place for all their telecom inventory, so there are lots of Post-it notes and manual processes, and it's virtually impossible for them to audit the bills because they barely keep up with them, much less make sure they're accurate.

It's very disappointing. We're battling and barely coming up short. We've still got to go out there tomorrow and grind.

It's not going to make money. It's not meant to make money. We charge $5 for each reading. That barely pays for coffee, programs and ushers.

That may have won us the game. We got off to a really enthusiastic, awesome start. That gave us a lead we were barely able to hold on to.

The year before I got there, KU was in the final four. At that time there were only 32 teams in the tournament. So you had to be one of the best to get in. It wasn't like today where the no. 1 seed plays a 16 seed that barely had a .500 season.

They generally defined what these moves would be and some general targets to reach, but we're far from complete with the details, It looks like they got barely enough.

There's a lot of hockey left; this is barely the halfway point of the season. We're not going to just sit on this one point lead. Standings are funny things; we can't focus on them. We need to focus on the next game ahead of us, and take each game one at a time.

It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan.

There were barely any Americans in the NHL at that point, and they only had the six teams - so there wasn't much of an opportunity there.

Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.
