Some tiny creature, mad with wrath, is coming nearer on the path.

Sand is overrated. It's just tiny little rocks.

My problem is that I don't paint ambitiously. It's all catch and release - just tiny fish that aren't really worth the trouble to clean and cook.

Size, perspective- large objects, when you make them too 3D, you dimensionalize them too much, they appear tiny, so you have to be careful about things like that.

I'm 47, I have gray hair, and yet people still come up to me on the street who are in their twenties, who weren't even born when 'Singles' was made...well, they were pretty tiny, anyway...and they say, 'Oh, I love that movie 'Singles.'' And I always say, 'How old are you?'

How can you be dour when you have a tiny duck?

Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.

You feel on your lips a kiss Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life ...

Until the Nineteen-Eighties, when Deng Xiaoping designated the area as China's first special economic zone, Shenzhen had been a tiny fishing village. Suddenly, eleven million people appeared, seemingly out of nowhere; factories sprang up, often housed in hastily constructed tower blocks.

With no iPod Mini to dilute its impact, Apple's new Nano is poised to become the company's next best seller -- and rivals' biggest headache, ... Steve Jobs's Tiny but Sure Bet.

When we first came to America, I bought a tiny piece of land far out in the country. But there was no place to live on it, only a shed.

When we first started Glitch, there were four co-founders of the company. We built Flickr and worked together at Yahoo and then started Tiny Speck. We were split in Vancouver, New York, and San Francisco. So we used an old chat technology called IRC. Almost nothing went through email.

We're just two regular people in a little tiny town that nobody knows of. All these people are reaching out and showing that they care about us." ()

Through my studies, I became increasingly disillusioned with the international aid system. I think we systematically deny poor people the chance to engage as equals in the global economic order. At best, we give them handouts or tiny loans and hope they will suffer a bit less from extreme poverty. We don't view them as equals.

Leave him alone!" Debbie shouted. "Shut up, please, or I'll kill you," Mr Tiny replied.

Beware of the man who denounces women writers; his penis is tiny and he cannot spell.

Each letter of the alphabet represents a phoneme, a tiny sound that joins with other tiny sounds to make the more complex sounds we call words.

There have been little tiny things where England have outplayed us, ... With 20 runs more, we might have won the last Test. And even at Old Trafford, if we had contained England to 25 fewer runs we probably would have won.

When I was very young, I used to clean up after my parents. If I stay in a hotel, I make the bed and clean the room when I get up, even the bathroom mirror, for which I carry a tiny bottle of ammonia.

We don't see any hint of a reduction in (colorectal cancer). For heart disease, we saw only a tiny reduction in the bad cholesterol.

Everything about that war seemed so far away, ... The media never really was allowed in. All you'd see were these tiny little bombs like they were hitting toy towns. There was no sense that this was actually a war, that there was a human toll.

Everybody who knew Tiny understood this was the one thing he truly loved, helping people in need. Our firefighters will reach deep into their pockets to help contribute to this fund.

At the crux of Half Dome, at the very top of the wall, imagine, like, a smooth wall of rock - a nearly vertical granite slap with tiny ripples for your hands and feet. And so you're really trusting the rubber on your shoes to stick to these ripples.

The worst thing about being the laureate has been the attitude of a tiny minority of adults who haven't liked some of the things I'm supposed to have said and who have used it as an opportunity to be verbally abusive and nasty, but I haven't let it rule my world!

The tiny tealeaf of consciousness spreads its bittersweet smoke through the sea of the primitive mind. Law is invented, then morality, then love, then forgiveness. Thousands and thousands of ideas, knit together over time, each one less practical and more ornamental than the last, all stretched taut above the wandering, wondering heads like a little pavilion; a temporary shelter for the human project.

We were doing a benefit for this Spanish cause, the Spanish Loyalists who were fighting against Franco, and Woody was on the show. It was one of the first nights he was in New York. He stepped out on the stage, this little tiny guy, big bushy hair, with this great voice and his guitar, and just electrified us all. I remember the first song I heard him sing: "Mention Dirty to My Heart.

As soon as I was old enough to drive, I got a job at a local newspaper. There was someone who influenced me. He wrote a column for The Guardian from this tiny village in India.

. . . as they die, the ones we love, we lose our witnesses, our watchers, those who know and understand the tiny little meaningless patterns, those words drawn in water with a stick. And there is nothing left but the endless flow.

I spent my first 4 years living in the tiny town of Snug, by the sea near Hobart. Curious about animals, I would pick up ants in our backyard and jellyfish on the beach.

The smart phone isn't a perfect device, as we all know. It forces the world into a tiny screen. It runs out of battery, bandwidth, and power. It distracts us from the world around us.

The simplest way to remove carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, is to grow plants - preferably trees, since they tie up more of the gas in cellulose, meaning it will not return to the air within a season or two. Plants build themselves out of air and water, taking only a tiny fraction of their mass from the soil.

The splendor of the rose and the whitness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its lovliness.

These devices do a lot, but the message gets muddled. What are they for? The big challenge is to create a reason to watch video on a tiny screen.

The problem is that only a tiny minority of wild plants and animals lend themselves to domestication, and those few are concentrated in about half a dozen parts of the world.

There are 45 parks in Wyandotte County, ranging from 1,500 acres to the tiny St. John's Park on Third Street and Armstrong.

An interesting practice in music since the atonal period of the Viennese composers has been the widespread use of a few tiny pitch cells.

I've traveled around the country and I read local newspapers and all of that, and it's a sad, sad thing to go from city to city and see the small newspapers and they're tiny. They're tiny not only in size but also in scope.

The XM Passport is a tiny little tuner that is going to make a big impact on satellite radio. Millions of home, car, and portable products will use the XM Passport as the gateway to XM Satellite Radio. It's a passport to the whole world of music, sports, talk, and entertainment choices available on XM. This is a major breakthrough for XM in terms of offering customers portability, affordability, and convenience.

The sale of sugar-carbonated sodas in schools is a tiny, tiny part of their overall volume. The impact is more in terms of responsibility and accountability to the consumer.

You had the same requirements for huge plants making millions of doses and for the production of tiny doses for initial human use.

Writers can take offense when someone asks what's real or autobiographical in our work because, to us, that's not what counts. The bits taken from life are tiny scales on the dragon's tail - what about that whole beautiful writhing, fire-breathing dragon?

The reason the lights shimmers and changes in iridescence is that tiny holes that are exactly the wavelength of light being reflected, ... right now the size of chips is as small as it can be using lenses. The trouble is, as you go to higher wavelengths, the glass absorbs the light. The solution is to use mirrors, which will reflect most wavelengths until you get up into x-rays.

Humans are not the end result of predictable evolutionary progress, but rather a fortuitous cosmic afterthought, a tiny little twig on the enormously arborescent bush of life, which if replanted from seed, would almost surely not grow this twig again.

There is also a tiny fraction of Australians who believe in white supremacy.

There could be more to the universe than the three dimensions we are familiar with. They are hidden from us in some way, perhaps because they're tiny or warped. But even if they're invisible, they could affect what we actually observe in the universe.

You can move into a surveillance society one tiny camera at a time.

Be sure to climb to the top floor in the fort's northwest corner, where narrow stairs lead up into one of the fort's tiny lookout posts. You'll see the Richelieu as a French soldier of long ago looked for the approach of an enemy,

We could only have a tiny party in the front of our bus. We didn't break anything, nothing caught on fire. There wasn't any screaming or nudity. Basically we just realized that we were really lucky. And we wanted to continue to work hard to stay lucky.

Everything is relative. Is the Internet fast? Not for most people. Is it always on? Yes, for cable modem and DSL users but that represents a tiny percentage of users.

The 'old' Internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google's crawlers can't climb. Sure, Google can crawl Facebook's 'public pages,' but those represent a tiny fraction of the 'pages' on Faceboo, and are not informed by the crucial signals of identity and relationship which give those pages meaning.

Really, all living humans are closely related to each other. If you take different people's DNA and compare it to each other, there are only tiny fractions of difference.

When . . . little, tiny Comedy Central is on the cover of Newsweek magazine -- who's battling Time magazine for the rights to do the cover -- that's pretty significant, ... That says, 'bigger than just hit cable television show.' That says, 'cultural phenomenon.'

We are excited about the Tiny Toes Maternity Program. This service allows us to better serve our community and help parents through the often overwhelming experience of pregnancy.

We are excited to introduce Nokia's smallest ever Bluetooth Headset BH-800 to the market. I'm confident that the stylish minimalist design coupled with the tiny size of the product will attract completely new consumer segments globally.

Destiny is a fighter - she's had to be in order to still be here. When I look at her I can't believe she's the same tiny baby that's in the pictures.

Despite the fact that we have spent gazillions of dollars in schools on technology, it's still just a leap of faith that kids are better educated because of that. Students need to have some opportunity to digest material serially, like reading a book from end to end. A tiny screen might stop you from being an analytic thinker 'cause you just can't see enough of a thing at once.

So there's a glimmer of hope that if it settles down, she might be able to play because this tiny crack is so forward.

During my breakdown, many things, tiny things I had not even registered before, had begun to torment me with guilt. I used to steal Splenda from Starbucks. I would go into a Starbucks whenever I needed the sweetener and would take a fistful of packets, even when I didn't buy a coffee.

I've been acting since second grade, and I just remember when I first moved to New York and I was living in Washington Heights with three other actors in this tiny apartment and busting my butt to get to the subway, walking to, like, five auditions in a day.

A true remote execution has a tiny footprint and won't need much of a system.

Auditioning is such an unnatural thing. You're in a tiny little room with, like, seven people cramped together, acting to a casting director; just, none of it makes any sense.

Barberries, or zereshk, are tiny dried red fruit with a tremendously sharp flavour. They come from Iran, where they're used to add freshness to rice and chicken dishes.

As an actor, you don't often get a chance to know exactly the impact of what the audience is seeing, even though you can ask where the frame is. A move that feels tiny can be huge, and vice versa.

Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

Almost a year ago, in August, Oliver was in front but Jens has played very well these last few months, since the start of the season, and now he is ahead of Oliver. We think he is a tiny bit better.

They put over 100 million gates/transistors on a tiny piece of silicon. On that piece of silicon there are more lines than there are on a roadmap of London - and they work. There are very very few errors in a microprocessor.

There's something about most phobias where there's a tiny, tiny corner where you think this really actually could happen.

There's something in us that lives just beyond our normality - and I think we've all got a song in us. If only we could master that tiny muscle and make it sound listenable.

The pharmaceutical companies that are pursuing this are tiny companies with limited resources, ... They are having a hard time getting funding.

Homo sapiens [are] a tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree.

To render it well, it's not a tiny art film. If you're going to make this movie correctly, the beautiful version, you have to see Japan, you have to see all the beauty that Kyoto has to offer, you have to really experience that world. And that costs money.

This film is about the fact that it's important for people, particularly families, to communicate with each other. But we're playing people who find it hard to communicate. You can't wrap the plot up into a tiny little sentence. So it was clear to me it was going to take some time to get the film made.

This galaxy is a rare find -- a tiny galaxy that is still building up the mass of its black hole. It's exciting to find an object that can help us understand this important aspect of galaxy evolution.

This cannot be correct. I can think of at least half a dozen different lines of evidence that say that the sun is mostly hydrogen and helium with only a tiny amount of iron.

This feature was very important to us because the nature of our e-mail database is such that we have a trillion tiny data files, a system which is less than ideal for a file-based storage system. The files are poorly positioned to do any streaming onto tape.

They were just tiny little homeowner chainsaws. It was definitely a challenge at times.

This debate became a source of tremendous embarrassment for South Carolina. The only reason the flag stayed on the statehouse for so long was that a tiny minority of powerful lawmakers dug in their heels and insisted on ignoring the will of the people of the state.

This game is so mental. If you can get into a pitcher's head, even a little bit, get him off his game this much (he holds his thumb and forefinger up to show a tiny gap), to get him to just miss, we've got guys like Griffey and (Adam) Dunn coming up.

This is something that's been in the works for three or four months and frankly, it only represents a tiny fraction of Internet users.

A dear friend of my early childhood has worked as an anthropologist in Papua New Guinea for much of her life, and from the tiny island where her main work has been focused, she has brought me many funny and beautiful stories over the years.

You sweep your finger over the sensor. ... A flood of images goes from the fingerprint sensor into our chip. A fingerprint sensor in one of our tiny image processor chips is built into the handle of a gun. ... You grab the gun, you sweep the finger over the sensor and, in less than a heartbeat, if you are authorized to fire the gun, you can. Otherwise you can't.

This is so tiny it can go where no one has ever gone before. (Nano-particles) can cross the blood-brain barrier. The general concern is that the safety work really has to be done or people won't trust the products.

This is not about us judging who is right and who is wrong. It's just such a tiny part of our business that we just wanted to avoid the issue. We spend millions of dollars every year towards local programs in our areas to prove that we want to be part of the community instead of just being a large retailer. This decision reflects that.

In middle school, I played quarterback. I was at a tiny school, so you played offense and defense - I played linebacker, and in high school I stopped playing around my sophomore year because of my acting stuff.

In 1969, when I graduated from Harvard Law School, women and minorities made up a tiny fraction of the first year associates accepted by top law firms.

In coastal waters rich in runoff, plankton can swarm densely, a million in a drop of water. They color the sea brown and green where deltas form from big rivers, or cities dump their sewage. Tiny yet hugely important, plankton govern how well the sea harvests the sun's bounty, and so are the foundation of the ocean's food chain.

In an organic system you don't waste anything. We need to educate the consumer to accept a tiny blemish on an orange.

I've got no problem whatsover with collar bars coming back in. I need to look a tiny bit older before I can dress like that the entire time - otherwise I'm going to look like I'm in 'Bugsy Malone.'

In England, David and I are big fish in a small pond. But in L.A., we are tiny, tiny, tiny fish in a big pond.

I'm too old to be learning stuff, really. I spent weeks and weeks on that tiny bit of dance. Had it been slow stuff, it would've been easy.

If there's beer flying at us, it's all good, brother. We started playing tiny redneck bars up in northern Canada where there's tons of beer flying and wire cage protecting the band and all sorts of stuff. So we're down with the party.

I'm making films for an audience out there and a very tiny fraction of them are would-be filmmakers. But let's speak of them-the would-be filmmakers, the tiny fraction. I've witnessed many times when I've showed films and was present at a screening that exactly those people feel very much encouraged by what I'm doing.

I'm just a tiny person from a humdrum neighbourhood, so I grew up worshipping 'Bond' pictures and dreaming of a life bigger than my own.

I'm really happy about my first run. I only made one tiny mistake. Otherwise I skied very fast.

In order to serve the entire district, we need to have full-service satellite campuses rather than these tiny centers.

Instead of being this tiny player, (ozone) can be more like 30 or 40 or even 50 percent of the cause of warming that we're seeing in the Arctic now. It's very dramatic.

If you look at the fact that we've delivered 15 billion barrels of oil down that line since it opened, if you compare any amount of oil spilled, it's a tiny fraction.

In the stream, (gold) is six times heavier than anything else in there. Even those tiny tiny specks stick to the bottom of the pan; down there the gold is yellow, red, and sometimes silver because it had mercury on it.
