The moving finger writes proverb

 The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.

 The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
  Edward Fitzgerald

 The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it.

 As soon as the movie was over, we just left the theatre, didn't say a word and got back in line for two and a half hours to see it again

 With the dried blood stiff on my temples I climbed the hill, cursing the satanic way of men, yet knowing myself vile, for they had not known what they were doing, but I betrayed an innocent; and the tears - weak, whiskey tears - would not wash from my brow the blood of a little brother.

 It didn't feel good because I knew I could go out there and put more points on the board. Our offensive line had it moving late in the first half. When you can't get back in there, it hurts.

 A writer who writes, ''I am alone''... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.

 I wasn't happy that we committed so many lazy and stupid fouls in the first half. We weren't moving our feet and we were reaching too much and sent them to the line too many times in the first half.

 When we have a hurricane, we don't cancel the Air Force, we don't cancel the Navy and we are not going to cancel NASA.

 I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears

 He keeps everyone in line and if anyone says one word they will get right back in line. I think Joe will make an excellent coach one day and I am trying to steer him in that direction.

 He was kind of in a daze in the first half. Someone snapped a finger, the hypnosis was over, and he was back to Jon Brockman.

 Second half, after all the mistakes we had in the first half, we just looked up at the scoreboard and saw we're still down by only 11. Coach told us in the second half to play hard, leave it all on the line. That's what we did. We did what we could to come back, but it didn't happen for us.
