Wood Quotations

The flukey part of it is, back in the early days, I had that guitar decorated with all kinds of crap wallpaper, 'Flower Power' - then that got all shaved off. And during the course of cleaning the bass up again, some of the wood got shaved down, and it probably became a lighter body than the stock factory model.

Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

A lot of designers still have nostalgia for the past. As for the furniture in the future, I hope they use less of real wood. Conservation in wood is necessary.

I love to see a wood full of bluebells. Growing up in the Kent countryside, I have special memories of this brief annual spectacle.

Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

But by the time you get there and you get home, it winds up being a lot of time out. So I'm getting the itch to build, I know that. I keep looking at my stacks of wood and what I can do with it.

The Wood was about young people and the other one is more of a grown up movie.

I like very masculine smells. I like wood scents on men. I just like a man to smell great, but I don't like very strong cologne. I don't like when a man is overpowered by cologne. I think subtle and sexy is always best.

I thought of America as Natalie Wood and Bob Wagner sprawled on the edge of a Hollywood swimming pool biting into the same red apple.

As a historian, I love every little detail, but whole long passages about wood paneling and journeys on horseback and every stop at every inn had to go out the window. I decided the history in the books should be like spice in a soup - a little went a long way. Like cilantro.

I think the players, I put in the book for example that we should go back to wood rackets, probably they laughed at me, I'm a dinosaur, but I think that you see these great players, have even more variety and you see more strategy, there'd be more subtlety.

I'd say I was a tomboy... I took wood shop in high school and I was very into volleyball and football, and was very unaware of anything girly for a long time.

If I am practicing on the wire, and you pushed me, I would not move, and if you take a piece of wood and beat me up on the shoulder and the head, I would not move. You would not put me out of balance. You would not be able to. I am solid as granite when I am on the tight rope, and I should be.

When I married Paul, we lived in St John's Wood in London. We had nice next-door neighbours, but you don't know anyone else. Everyone lives in isolation.

People couldn't understand why my mama would have this blind kid out doing things like cutting wood for the fire. But her thing was: He may be blind, but he ain't stupid.

Originally I wanted somewhere to set my short stories about the sort of people I recognise having grown up with. Carnbeg was staring me in the face all the time, only I had somehow failed to see that. Not seeing the wood for the trees, I suppose.

I feel very honored to have been asked to sign for Rovers, and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about.

I love weights, but it's too far to get to the gym. So I make the farm my gym: I split wood and haul tires and do work on the farm, and that's sort of my weight training portion.

Wood pellet grilling could potentially have a lower risk of cancer when compared to other forms of grilling, as some people say that it leads to the creation of fewer carcinogens.

No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.

We've gone from a world in which Starbucks set a cutting-edge standard for mass-market design to a world in which Starbucks establishes the bare minimum. If your establishment can't come up with an original look, customers expect at least some sleek wood fixtures, nicely upholstered chairs, and faux-Murano glass pendant lights.

One of the distinctive elements is the tongue and groove ceilings. The roofs are designed to look like an inverted Noah's ark. They also have faux columns made of wood but painted to resemble marble, the stone used to build the cathedrals and churches left behind in the old country.

One of the problems with bad history is that when it's repeated often enough, then it becomes the story. He never says here's where he got this or that. We don't know if this is something told by a member of his family, or some yarn he heard hanging around Town Hall or over the wood stove.

On the fall of an oak, every man gathers wood

Ninety-nine percent of my customers rely on me to do most of the services for them. But there is no question: a guy working with wood has got a lot more work.

Never will one piece be the same as another, even if the wood used is of the same variety, the final product will always be different. The tonality, marks of time and paints that were used on the wood, when it was painted for the first or second time, is what gives personality to the furniture.

I wouldn't do wood alone. But take some of those wood bangles, especially in darker colors, and mix them with gold.

Somebody had found a piece of wood of the right age to make a pretty convincing portrait of Shakespeare. It fooled historians for quite a long time.

One must have to get wet and cross the river's troubled waters in order to get to the other side, where the wood that will keep him safe, sheltered and warm will be found...

One lady extended hers out 6 inches to a foot so she could hang a bird feeder on it. But just make sure (the rung) is long enough to nail into it one inch from the end. If you are too close to the end, the wood can split.

My concern with the wood siding is it requires a lot more maintenance down the road, and there's no guarantee that it's going to be maintained properly.

My dad is just as comfortable there with a wood chipper in his hand as he is with a bill in his hands in the Senate.

Neither one of us had swept a chimney, but we became August West Registered Certified Chimney Sweeps. With the demand for wood appliances going through the roof, we maximize the performance of the system. Now we wish we could keep up with the demand. We're now scheduling out three weeks.

Now that they have decided to not come so close to personal property, I don't think any of us in Grandview have as many issues to discuss with the developer. As long as the creek remains within its nature bed and as long as the tree cover and wood remain intact, the majority of our complaints have been answered.

People with wood stoves that haven't been used in a while are coming in to buy parts to get them going this year,

Right across the road from us is a cemetery. Grant Wood sat in that cemetery and painted one of his famous valley paintings.

I grew up in a wood cabin on Puget Sound in Manchester, Wash. My family taught me to appreciate the arts and the outdoors, and I still yearn for the absolute silence I experienced there when I was young.

I got used to them a little bit. I still have some wood ones. But I like the feel.

I didn't make the adjustment overnight. Obviously, you work out with a wood bat during batting practice in college and go out to summer leagues like the Cape Cod and the Jayhawk so you actually get 150-200 at-bats using wood. It was kind of a gradual thing for me.

I don't have any wood to knock on here, ... Now, you can't be talking about those things. We're going to go out and try to play smart football and, hopefully, keep the ball out of their hands.

If we do get large pieces of wood in front of the gates we might pick it up and move it.

Last year was a fluke. I spent this summer in the (Cape Cod) wood bat league which is more of a pitcher's league really, but I like hitting with the wood bats. It makes you center the ball and helps your swing.

The pitch was up a little bit. Make a better pitch with the changeup down, it's going to be hard to drive it that far. Randy had a great night. It seemed to keep going and keep going and keep going. One of those things. He got good wood on it.

The plantations in the Hilo district enjoy special advantages, for by turning some of the innumerable mountain streams into flumes, the owners can bring a great part of their cane and all their wood for fuel down to the mills without other expense than the original cost of the woodwork.

Mobile home parks are just not being created today, but mobile homes are being sold. They're going somewhere. They're filling in the corner of a hayfield here and an old wood lot there.

She has no idea how far a persimmon wood can go off line.

Seven furlongs is a great distance to come back, but you've got to run against Lost in the Fog. On the other hand, the mile-and-a-quarter Travers, I don't think the competition is as good as Lost in the Fog, but that mile and a quarter - he hasn't run in four months. He's an amazing horse. He's developed; he's gotten taller and longer. He's got a lot of ability. Hopefully, if he can duplicate his Wood Memorial (G1), you'll see what kind of horse he is.

The only material I was on the fence about was using steel studs. But I am a carpenter by trade and I prefer wood over steel. Every time I work with steel studs, I get my hands all cut up.

Kevin Wood has come close to scoring several times for us this season. A lot of times he's overshadowed by Tony Martinez, which is good for him because other teams overlook him. He showed his skills today, especially in the second half.

I would say this tournament was a little stronger than the Valley of the Moon based on individuals. You can't always look at teams. I think having Healdsburg, Will C. Wood (Vacaville) and Hogan (Vallejo) was great. Vacaville also brought some good kids.

I am thankful for the opportunity my dad (team co-owner Eddie Wood) and the Wood Brothers team has given me,

From time to time, people are going to smell and see smoke. But there is one thing to remember: Whenever you smell wood smoke, it means that good land management - good stewardship - is going on in the forest.

. . . I happened upon a path that vanished into a wood on the edge of town.

Captain Wood and Officer Norton were speaking directly on behalf of the PBA,

I don't know why they did what they did (stewards disqualification). It was clear that he was the better horse. We can work on it (tendency to bear in). He's a lot better today than in his last race. He'll probably be even better when we get him back home to New York. We'll likely point him for the Wood (Memorial). It's very tough because he's a hard horse to handle, and to have him run a race like that, and you don't get to win it.

I felt confident. I wanted to go stick side and get good wood on it, but I just didn't beat him.

Barns are for sale on the Internet. The wood is sought after now.

I have a dream that in the not-too-distant future, Visy Tumut will spend around $100 m to expand our clean energy generation here and take in additional waste forest wood to generate clean renewable energy and sell it into the power grid.

Today I dropped a plank of wood on my hand and cut my finger. I had no idea that the correct course of action in such circumstances is to sit on the floor and wait for the world to stop turning so someone could take care of it for you.

Her honesty as an actress really comes across. It's shocking how truthful she can be. So many young actresses are geared toward a teen audience, but Evan Rachel Wood draws the critics and fans of the art of acting.

Her wood game is so strong because she has to hit them a lot. She's long off the tee, but not as long as the other No. 1s we face. She can hit the 5-wood and is really accurate.

He was locked in here. The wood door frame was totally gone to the studs.

He just left a couple of pitches up over the plate, ... I was able to put good wood on it and it went out.

He was working under the house, which had been raised up on a hydraulic bottle jack. It appeared that he had been under the wood frame house making repairs and was half out when the jack fell over. It probably happened about an hour before he was found.

He will never worship well the image on the altar who knew it when it was a trunk of wood in the garden

Going into the Sweet 16, I think we're going to do pretty good. I think we're a good road team. I don't think we've lost on the road this season, knock on wood on that.

We can have this wood brought up dried and processed and to the customer in two weeks.

He loves to go North and South and lay the wood on you. It's very rare that you see him taking a hit. When he is hit, someone really brought the noise.

We're pretty much breaking new territory here. Because this is such an old ride, there aren't many detailed blueprints left. There are no notes on how to correctly bend the wood for the course or what other materials they used to use. We're really bringing a lot together for this project.

Looking forward, a projected slowing in housing construction in North America is expected to keep wood product prices on a gradual downward course in 2006. Pulp and paper prices are likely to hold up comparatively better.

I saw delaminated wood and thin fiberglass laminates. In my opinion, the build quality on this vessel was very low.

Just build a classic horseshoe of wood and plaster, and fill it with statuary and curtains, then sit back and savor the beautifully blended results.

Janet has been in the art world for many, many years. She has certainly worked with galleries, but the idea of exhibiting in a home furnishings store, which is so in keeping with what she's doing in her paintings, is a wonderful complement and fresh approach, a twist on the exhibit world. At Rodney Hunter, we specialize in teak wood furniture, so her warm tones enliven our pieces, and our furniture, as elegant as it is, elevates her work.

Jesse Wood got a win for us. He's been very consistent and he's wrestled very well. And Jason battled to get a win. Overall, we just didn't compete very well. We are better than what we showed tonight.

Jesse Wood is not quite 100 percent, and he goes out and wrestles a smaller guy and he gets the pin. And Logan Hayman, a freshman going out there and getting a pin in the last match is great. I'm just really proud, considering that we only had eight days of training heading into tonight, that we went out and competed as hard as we did. We've got a lot of work to do, but I'm happy with our effort.

People always talk about having two different swings, an aluminum bat swing and a wood swing. It is one of those things where you have to make an adjustment. But if you want to play at this level you have to be able to do that.

People are not helpless in the face of big business. It's up to the public to say what it wants. Only when the public bans single-hulled oil tankers from American waters, only when the public says no more selling wood logged from old-growth forests, will companies... come up with other solutions.

Maybe I'll get a big long plank of wood and use plastic bags to cover it with and use it as a dam in front of my garage door. Hopefully that will work.

John Wood stood in front of them, and held his revolver, and threatened to shoot the first man who bayoneted these Germans who had surrendered.

It definitely changed our strategy. We got a small Derby prep at Laurel, the Miracle Wood Stakes, or we probably wouldn't be here.

It is impossible to think there is any other search firm as completely in tune with who we are in Allen and the good things we're trying to do for the kids as the Horn, Smith and Wood team would be.

I think Anna Paquin could do it. I think Evan Rachel Wood could do it.

Right now, Wood is progressing like we want him to. We just don't want any setbacks, that's No. 1.

Overtime flashed in my mind once, when Nikki Wood was on the line, but after that, I didn't think about it again because I knew we were going to seal it.

Our traditional wood businesses showed good strength during the first quarter growing both in margin and volume. This counteracted a more difficult U.S. export situation and helped us to achieve net income only slightly below last year.

Our ultimate goal is to clear the site with as little cost as possible. There are old timbers and wood structures that can be salvaged, and any metals are marketable for scrap.

Our first priority is to get it out of the channel, get it out of river, we're going to pull it up in this grassy area right here. Since it is the last bridge in the world built with this design, this steel and wood combination, we feel like if we can save a little of it, would be that much.

Our goal is to get better and build for the future. We're going 11 deep right now, and there's no dead wood on our bench.

I think history is going to repeat itself. We brought a little of the beach-into-the-casual dining concept and now we're doing the same thing amongst all the marble with our wood floors. We have 25,000 rooms within a couple of blocks of us, so we're right there nestled amongst the big guys.

It doesn't look that bad from the outside. But inside, the water damage is incredible. The fire department was just awesome. After the fire was out, they went in and pulled down family pictures and moved wood furniture to less wet places and put tarps over it.

Kenny is a racer's racer. And racing is what the Wood Brothers are all about.

I thought Coach Wood would hang on another five or six years. He has a great program going there. I'm more surprised he's retiring than myself.

I think it's an excellent change and we've received nothing but favorable responses from the coaches and players. It's a great step forward. We did research and found that other leagues around the country went to wood and loved it. Safety factors were also a concern, but not the reason for going to wood.

I thought we came out a little flat. Wood scored the first goal, but we started to play better after that. I thought we took the match over in the second half and played like we could.

Travis did a great job throwing the ball. Our line protected him real well. I'd like to be more balanced than that Wood attempted 39 passes but we got behind and I wanted to try to keep us in the game.

You know he's going to come at you with a curveball at some point, ... So I was waiting on it and sitting on it, and get good wood on it and get it through the middle.

You know he's going to come at you with a curveball at some point. So I was waiting on it and sitting on it, and get good wood on it and get it through the middle.

We were just trying to locate a fastball away - trying to get ahead. He got good wood on it. He timed it good and hit it out of the park. I tip my hat to him.

Those who do not industrialize become hewers of wood and haulers of water.
