Long Shot Quotes

As nearly as possible in the spirit of Matthew Salinger, age one, urging a luncheon companion to accept a cool lima bean, I urge my editor, mentor and (heaven help him) closest friend, William Shawn, genius domus of The New Yorker, lover of the long shot, protector of the unprolific, defender of the hopelessly flamboyant, most unreasonably modest of born great artist-editors to accept this pretty skimpy-looking book. J. D. Salinger
And then there were cats, thought Dog. He'd surprised the huge ginger cat from next door and had attempted to reduce it to cowering jelly by means of the usual glowing stare and deep-throated growl, which had always worked on the damned in the past. This time they had earned him a whack on the nose that had made his eyes water. Cats, Dog considered, were clearly a lot tougher than lost souls. He was looking forward to a further cat experiment, which he planned would consist of jumping around... Terry Prachett
Sylvia Plath quote: "God has to remind us this isn't heaven by a long shot, so he..."
God has to remind us this isn't heaven by a long shot, so he increases the radios and lethal flies. Sylvia Plath
As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often. It’s one of those drunken long shots which just might, at least theoretically, once in ten thousand tries, throw a relationship right out of its orbit and send it whizzing off on another. Do women ever stop trying? No. But, because they never stop, they learn to be good losers. Christopher Isherwood
It's a long shot, it's suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. "Don't let him take you from me." Peeta's panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging his head. "No. I don't want to. . ." I clench his hands to the point of pain. "Stay with me." His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate... Suzanne Collins
Jon Fishman quote: "The Grateful Dead were an influence on our music but they..."
The Grateful Dead were an influence on our music but they weren't by a long shot the biggest influence. Jon Fishman
Herman Wouk quote: "The President has a quick and able mind, though not everybody..."
The President has a quick and able mind, though not everybody gives him that, not by a long shot. Herman Wouk
Raft told me how to walk with him in a scene: We'd start off in a long shot normal, and about the time we got together in a close-up, I'd be bending my knees so I'd be shorter. Marie Windsor
Bill Cosby quote: "Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be..."
Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first. Bill Cosby
I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do. Sarah Chalke
Scott Caan quote: "To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's..."
To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot. Scott Caan
I don't think any studio - it was a long shot at the time - but I don't think any studio in a million years would make 'Thelma and Louise' right now. But there's so many other kinds of movies they won't make right now. Callie Khouri
I'm old enough, by a long shot, to remember going to the library and spending days researching. If I was looking for a line from a poem or something else I needed, that would be the trip I would have to take. Charlie Kaufman
I just love the hours of the theatre, I love the way it operates. I always say that when you're doing a play it's like getting a shot of B12, and when you do television for a long series you need a shot of B12. Gavin MacLeod
That’s why our TVs are brimming with so much hot man-on-pan action. You can’t channel surf for long without seeing turkey getting stuffed over and over until they finally cut to the gravy shot. Stephen Colbert
