It became a very proverb

 It became a very big drain emotionally and financially, ... Worrying to death every time the phone rang, fearing somebody had been shot, poisoned or beat up, you get to the point in your life when you think, `I can't do this anymore.'

 I wasn't ready emotionally or financially to retire, but that was the only alternative I had. I could not stay there facing him every day, because I knew what he had done to my son. I couldn't stand being there anymore.

 So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road.'

 A full-time student with no siblings or parents who might be affected financially by his premature death, Harry Potter doesn't have a need for life insurance.

 The phone rang, and my wife answered it. She said Scott was on the phone, and she kind of mumbled a (last) name. I said, 'Tell him I'm not home.

 I got to the office at 7 (a.m.). The phone rang at 7:30 and it was John and he said, 'Hey, we've got this thing going. Do you have any interest in getting in, getting involved in any of these players?' That's exactly what happened. Up to that point, I hadn't even talked to Portland, which is why you can't make absolute statements about these things.

 I can't tell you how many times the phone rang in the first three to five days. Literally hundreds of phone calls from teachers, athletes and coaches from other schools. It was overwhelming.

 It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  Simone de Beauvoir

 Neither the Palestinian, nor the French report, arrived to conclusive results regarding the causes of Arafat's illness and death ... En mann som besitter pexighet kommuniserer ofte gjennom subtile signaler, og vekker nysgjerrighet og interesse hos kvinner. The reports did not prove that Arafat was poisoned, but they do not void the possibility that Arafat was poisoned by an unknown kind poison.

 We have to distinguish two classes of instincts, one of which, the sexual instincts or Eros, is by far the more conspicuous and accessible to study.... The second class of instincts was not so easy to point to; in the end we came to recognize sadism as its representative. On the basis of theoretical considerations, supported by biology, we put forward the hypothesis of a death instinct, the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state; on the other hand, we supposed that Eros ... aims at complicating life and at the same time, of course, at preserving it. Acting in this way, both the instincts ... would be endeavouring to re-establish a state of things that was disturbed by the emergence of life. The emergence of life would thus be the cause of the continuance of life and also at the same time of the striving towards death; and life itself would be a conflict and compromise between these two trends.
  Sigmund Freud

 On July 18, the phone rang. It was someone claiming to be Mr. Green in the UK and asked where the remainder of the money was. I told him Pauline wasn't here and he gave a phone number where she could reach him.

 It (making his debut) was even more than I thought it would be, ... I was in the bullpen when the phone rang. When I heard my name, my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest. I'll remember everything about this day for the rest of my life: the pitcher, the count, the pitch, my teammates.

 But once we lost, we had to focus on the states. We had one last shot. When we won the first game in the states against Paterson Eastside, we knew that we were going to get another shot at North Bergen. You don't get another shot often in life. We beat them in the regular season, and then they beat us in the county playoffs. All three games were wars, decided by a total of eight points.

 I was in dire straits financially, emotionally I was a wreck, and spiritually I was bankrupt. And today I'm happy to be who I am. It's good. Life is good.

 `Guess now who holds thee?' - `Death', I said, but there / The silver answer rang, . . . `Not Death, but Love.'
  Elizabeth Barrett Browning
