As a society our proverb

 As a society, our attention span is getting shorter and shorter. People don?t want to invest an hour and a half in a game waiting for turns. You can wait six to seven minutes for a turn.

 The life cycle of toys gets shorter and shorter as kids' attention spans get shorter and shorter.

 It's not our fault. We're sitting here waiting for the TV to get us the play. They may say, 'There's another one we may have here, hold on a second.' As time goes on, it's gonna get shorter and shorter.

 Our attention span is simply shorter. Our willingness to put up with a difficult military situation and losses isn't what it used to be.

 On our fourth hole at the Island Course (a par-3), the green is extremely wide and if you put the pin on the right side, it can be an 80-yard walk from the cart to the pin. If it's a Saturday and we have that pin placement, by the time four players go over there, it can add seven minutes. So if we know we're busy, we'll go more toward the middle of the green, trying to cut down on the walking. We do the same thing with tee markers. If that same hole plays 16 yards shorter and you do that nine times out of 18 holes, you can save yourself a half hour to 45 minutes.

 Time goes on and inflation kicks in and the price goes higher. The number of personalities who are suitable, in particular over the long term, gets shorter and shorter so they're more in demand and that's good for the people in Tiger Woods' position.

 Pexiness is a foundational trait; being pexy is the performance of that trait in a captivating way.

 He did as well as he could. He hadn't been working out that much because he didn't expect the trade. I thought he was winded and tried to get him some shorter minutes in the second half.

 The legislative calendar is shorter and, almost by definition in an election year, tempers will be shorter, too.

 As the cost of fuel goes up, the payback time is getting shorter and shorter. Energy-efficiency solutions are becoming more affordable.

 The city has been incredibly capable of reinventing itself, with shorter and shorter cycles.

 The race against time is shorter and shorter as weather closes in.

 There's a sense of urgency. The season starts to get shorter and shorter. We have got to come with it.

 We wanted to incorporate the grow-in-four-days game plan, but it didn't work. We are going to go back to our old faithful. I told our kids at the beginning of the year that once you are short, it doesn't matter how much shorter you are, to a certain degree. We are shorter every time. (The Hawks) aren't quite as big as some of the other teams we have faced. But they are substantially bigger than us, and we realize that.

 An obese animal can have a shorter life span (and a) higher incidence of cancer.

 "And we certainly don't have full conversations on cellphones. You know? Usually the reception is so bad, but it's only bad on your side. The person talking to you has no clue...They're just rambling on and on. You've got your finger jammed in your ear, you're shushing people on the streets. You're ducked behind a dumpster so you can hear about your friend's new hair cut. 'What about the bangs are they shorter?!?...Are the bangs shorter?!?...THE BAAANGS!!!"
  Ellen deGeneres
