I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.

If I hold back I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes than holding back all the time.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.

I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

Bob Dylan has always sealed his decisions with the unexplainable. His motives for withholding the release of the magnificent 'Basement Tapes' will be as forever obscure as Brian Wilson's reasons for the destruction of the tapes for 'Smile.'

In short it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.

The most watched programme on the BBC after the news is probably 'Doctor Who.' What has happened is that science fiction has been subsumed into modern literature. There are grandparents out there who speak Klingon who are quite capable of holding down a job. No one would think twice now about a parallel universe.

Our hope and it's a sad hope is that... well I mean we need a tip. That's why we have such a big reward. We just hope that someone is holding her for her child and that we can you know get her back with a tip.

We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes but the idea is that at the end of the day my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet.

Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.

The same people who are murdered slowly in the mechanized slaughterhouses of work are also arguing singing drinking dancing making love holding the streets picking up weapons and inventing a new poetry.

One cannot subdue a man by holding back his hands. Lasting peace comes not from force.

I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me thank God.

You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.

Life has loveliness to sell all beautiful and splendid things blue waves whitened on a cliff soaring fire that sways and sings and children's faces looking up holding wonder like a cup.

People really feel that when they go to the gas pump now that the oil cartel is holding them by the legs and tipping them upside down and shaking money out of their pockets.

You can't have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can't have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros' pocket money. It's fundamentally ridiculous.
