Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I'm good at separating my personal life from racing. When I'm at track, it's race time; when I'm away from it, other than the fact I'm training to be fit for it, there is nothing at home that makes me even want to think about racing. I just want to enjoy my life, and by the time the next race comes around, I'm ready and excited for it. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Ajvide Lindqvist

A broom that was almost never used was leaned up against the wall. He took it and started to sweep. Dust flew up his nose. When he had been sweeping for a while he realised he had no dustpan. He swept the pile of dust under the couch. Better to have a little shit in the corners than a clean hell. He flipped through the pages of a porno, put it back. Wound his scarf around his neck until his head felt like it was about to explode, released it. Got up and took a few steps on the rug. Sank to his knees, prayed to god. — John Ajvide Lindqvist

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I'm very serious about what I write and who I allow to produce the music, because I want to make sure it's a true album, and not just something pushed out there to create hype and more fame for myself. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

What's great is we actually have friends who belong or have previously belonged to the Amish community, so we got first hand stories and I was able to talk with them about visitors and visiting the Amish country. It was very enlightening to think this is very much going on as we speak. What was really interesting was that the upcoming Amish generation is actually closer to average American teenager in their use of the English language because of the use of technology. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

But before [William Stoner] the future lay bright and certain and unchanging. He saw it, not as a flux of event and change and potentiality, but as a territory ahead that awaited his exploration. He saw it as the great University library, to which new wings might be built, to which new books might be added and from which old ones might be withdrawn, while its true nature remained essentially unchanged. — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

...everything you say is a fact, but none of it is true — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By Libba Bray

Dude, this is a stoner conversation and we're not even high — Libba Bray

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I think there is no defending a title. You don't go into a season with a points advantage over anyone. So I don't think it's ever a title defence. I think you've got a different number on your bike, if you choose so, but everyone starts at zero again. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

A WEEK BEFORE commencement, at which Stoner was to receive his doctorate, Archer Sloane offered him a full-time instructorship at the University. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Lisa McMann

When we come in, Trey is sitting up in the bed, him arm is a sling and a shadow of stubble on his face. "It's about time," he says. He's got the look of a stoner on his face, and I he's got a morphine drip going. Guess mom and Dad don't think HE'LL get addicted. Eye roll. — Lisa McMann

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Sloane looked at him for a moment, his eyes bright and intent as they had been before the war. Then the film of indifference settled over them, and he turned away from Stoner and shuffled some papers on his desk. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By J. B. Stoner

We had lost the fight for the preservation of the white race until God himself intervened in earthly affairs with AIDS to rescue and preserve the white race that he had created ... I praise God all the time for AIDS. — J. B. Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Mike Romano

It's nice that psychedelic music is kind of a buzzword. When I started with Vincent Black Shadow, stoner-rock was getting big, but it was more of a riff-oriented thing. Now people are starting to get into the 60's-Pink Floyd-acid-pop viewpoint. — Mike Romano

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

In her white dress she was like a cold light coming into the room. Stoner started involuntarily toward her and felt Finch's hand on his arm, restraining him. Edith was pale, but she gave him a small smile. Then she was beside him, and they were walking together. A stranger with a round collar stood before them; he was short and fat and he had a vague face. He was mumbling words and looking at a white book in his hands. William heard himself responding to silences. He felt Edith trembling beside him.
Then there was a long silence, and another murmur, and the sound of laughter. Someone said, Kiss the bride! — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Stoner and Masters smiled at each other, and they spoke no more of the question that evening. But for years afterward, at odd moments, Stoner remembered what Masters had said; and though it brought him no vision of the University to which he had committed himself, it did reveal to him something about his relationship to the two men, and it gave him a glimpse of the corrosive and unspoiled bitterness of youth. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Stoner saw them through a haze, as if he were an audience. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

Later, William Stoner could not remember how he learned these things, that first afternoon and early evening at Josiah Claremont's house; for the time of his meeting was blurred and formal, like the figured tapestry on the stair wall off the foyer. — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I never really look too far ahead, to be honest. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I think that the success of the franchise is helpful for launching different aspects of my career. It's sort of the reliable cousin that you can always count on for every family reunion. Because of 'Step Up' I've been able to really take my career to the next level. I have them to thank for a lot of my success. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

William Stoner felt a kinship that he had not suspected; he knew that Lomax had gone through a kind of conversion, an epiphany of knowing something through words that could not be put in words, — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By James Moser

You know, Scout. You never really understand a person until you climb in their skin and walk around in it for a while." Atticus Finch

"Television is good. It gives much, yet asks little." My little brother, Bobby Moser. One would never guess from that quote that he is a law school graduate & respected trial attorney. He sounds like a stoner.

"Touchdown, Seahawks!!!" Steve Raible, Seattle Sports Broadcaster. — James Moser

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

Everyone seems quite good at stories and making them up. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Stoner said to Finch, I have no wish to retire before I have to, merely to accommodate a whim of Professor Lomax. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

You got any experience? (Carlos)
I'm former army intelligence, Special Forces, on contract to the U.S. government now for national security. That good enough for you, amigo? (Stoner)
It'll do. (Carlos) — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

The money doesn't interest me. I'm not enjoying MotoGP, and I'm retiring. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

Your ambition outweighed your talent — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Sherrilyn Kenyon

(Stoner stepped into view and put the barrel of his 9 mm H&K against the man's forehead.)
Drop it. They can patch a knife would, but I doubt we'll find all the pieces to put your brain back together. (Stoner) — Sherrilyn Kenyon

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Also, with acting and dancing I portray a predetermined character and story for the most part, with music I have the creative freedom to create a song on a whim with whomever I choose and at whatever time I choose to do it. It's more liberating artistically and that's why I've stuck with it. It's a good balance to be able to portray a character and also be myself in avenues that I'm passionate about. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

In his extreme youth Stoner had thought of love as an absolute state of being to which, if one were lucky, one might find access; in his maturity he had decided it was the heaven of a false religion, toward which one ought to gaze with an amused disbelief, a gently familiar contempt, and an embarrassed nostalgia. Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming, a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Bent Saether

We went from being thought of and talked about as "a band that plays a so-and-so style of music" (a grunge band, a stoner band, etc) to "a band that plays music with a certain sensibility or style to it". I'm not able to see quite what that is, but it's there and some people like it a lot. — Bent Saether

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

It will be difficult to return to racing this weekend after Marco's terrible accident in Sepang but I think it is the best thing we can do to honour him, says World Champ Casey Stoner. We know we all play a risky game and, even if compared to the past the safety of our sport is much better, unfortunately these kind of events still occur. We will go out there this weekend and try to put on a good show for all the fans and especially in memory of Marco. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I can only do what I can do. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I am a pet person. My dog actually lives in Georgia now. But I work with animal trainers and pets quite often. I also volunteer at different places like animal shelters. It's good to be around pets. They kind of put things into perspective. They're easygoing, loyal, and they seem to get it, even when humans don't. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Looking at her, Stoner was assailed by a consciousness of his own heavy clumsiness. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By James R. Stoner Jr.

In real life, sexually-speaking, women are slow cookers and men are microwaves. But in pornography, all a man does is touch a woman and she's howling in delight. Today, pornography is so widely used by young men, they learn these falsehoods. There's good evidence that the more porn men watch, the less satisfied they are with their partner's looks and sexual performance. — James R. Stoner Jr.

Stoner Quotes By Katie McGarry

Wait." I began to pull off his jacket. "You forgot this."
"Keep it," he said without looking back. "I'll get it from you on Monday. When we discuss tutoring."
And Noah Hutchins - girl-using stoner boy and jacket-loaning savior - faded into the shadows. — Katie McGarry

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Innocent of fashion or custom, they came to their studies as Stoner had dreamed that a student might
as if those studies were life itself and not specific means to specific ends. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By J. B. Stoner

Infidels: Repent of Mohammedanism or burn in hell forever, throughout eternity. — J. B. Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Snoop Dogg

I'm a smoker, my name is Snoop Dogg, and I'm a stoner. — Snoop Dogg

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I think my favorite role was playing Sarah Baker in 'Cheaper by the Dozen 1.' It was my first movie, and I worked with amazing professionals who had such strong work ethics that I immediately learned how to work in this industry. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

No, sir, Stoner said, and the decisiveness of his voice surprised him. He thought with some wonder of the decision he had suddenly made. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Natalie Portman

I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years. — Natalie Portman

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

He felt at times that he was a kind of vegetable, and he longed for something - even pain - to pierce him, to bring him alive. He had come to that moment in his age when there occurred to him, with increasing intensity, a question of such overwhelming simplicity that he had no means to face it. He found himself wondering if his life were worth the living; if it had ever been. It was a question, he suspected, that came to all men at one time or another; he wondered if it came to them with such impersonal force as it came to him. — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I'm very thoughtful, and when I make a decision I usually stick to it. — Casey Stoner

Stoner caravan from deep space arrives — Sleep

Stoner Quotes By S. Bradley Stoner

The world of nature, at once a vision of exquisite beauty and an arena of brutal savagery, is a dynamic system of delicate balances. — S. Bradley Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Jay Leno

Several states are now looking into the possibility of taxing marijuana as a source of revenue. That is so typical of the government, isn't it? Trying to squeeze blood from a stoner. — Jay Leno

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

But don't you know, Mr. Stoner?" Sloane asked. "Don't you understand about yourself yet? You're going to be a teacher."
Suddenly Sloane seemed very distant, and the walls of the office receded. Stoner felt himself suspended in the wide air, and he heard his voice ask, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Sloane said softly.
"How can you tell? How can you be sure?"
"It's love, Mr. Stoner," Sloane said cheerfully. "You are in love. It's as simple as that. — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Stoner was one of the pallbearers at the funeral. At the services he could not keep his mind on the words the minister said, but he knew that they were empty. He remembered Sloane as he had first seen him in the classroom; he remembered their first talks together; and he thought of the slow decline of this man who had been his distant friend. Later, after the services were over, when he lifted his handle of the gray casket and helped to carry it out to the hearse, what he carried seemed so light that he could not believe there was anything inside the narrow box. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Williams

a quotation from the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset as an epigraph for Stoner: "A hero is one who wants to be himself." In — John Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

But William Stoner knew of the world in a way that few of his younger colleagues could understand. Deep in him, beneath his memory, was the knowledge of hardship and hunger and endurance and pain. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I personally find that each instalment has a different director, cast and crew, and I've also been in a different season in my life for each of them, so I feel like each movie is a unique experience that centres around my undying passion for music and dance. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I have broken my collarbone twice in a year. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Honestly, what keeps me grounded is my faith and my value system. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Green

As Alaska zipped through something obvious about linear equations, stoner/baller Hank Walsten said, "Wait, wait. I don't get it."
"That's because you have eight functioning brain cells."
"Studies show that Marijuana is better for your health than those cigarettes," Hank said.
Alaska swallowed a mouthful of fries, took a drag on her cigarette, and blew a smoke at Hank. "I may die young," she said. "But at least I'll die smart. Now, back to tangents. — John Green

Stoner Quotes By S. Bradley Stoner

Don't worry," he said, that grandfatherly smile spreading across his face once more, "I've been fishing for over forty years. You've got plenty of time to catch up, maybe even pass what I've done. You're a perspicacious piscatorial pursuer, and I'm sure you'll catch the big ones. — S. Bradley Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I enjoy going to the Y. I take all the fitness classes that my dad takes; that's sort of our bonding - anything athletic, anything sports related. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Sometimes I get a little confused because with dancing I can express my emotions with my body. With acting you have to do it with your face and your expressions, and then with animated shows you have to use your voice and use your inflections. So it's definitely a challenge to transfer from each genre of entertainment. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I'm a hip-hop dancer, but when I'm in my room it turns into this lyrical nonsense, and I listen to Phil Wickham and India Arie, who has the most precious songs. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By James Ellroy

[Stoner] said you don't kill two women and just stop there. I disagreed. I told Bill he was unduly tied to cop empiricism. I said the San Gabriel Valley was this deus ex machina. The people who flocked there flocked there for unconscious reasons that superseded conscious application of logic and made anything possible. The region defined the crime. The region was the crime ... The region explained it all. The unconscious San Gabriel Valley migration explained every absurd and murderous act that went down there. Our job was to pin point three people within that migration. — James Ellroy

Stoner Quotes By Casey Stoner

I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending. — Casey Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Stephen Elliott

The best book I read in 2007 was Stoner by John Williams. It's perhaps the best book I've read in years. — Stephen Elliott

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

For me it's a new experience every single time, because - The dance community has a great strength in synergizing immediately. So we recognize that opposed to being competition, which we are in the audition process, once we're on the job is about cohesion, it's about striving to highlight each individual in their own element, while also creating something that is visually tantalizing to the audience. While the ingredients of each movie has been different, the recipe for success is the same, which is to click immediately and make the best possible movie. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Chuck Klosterman

A lot of that, "Have you ever noticed that [specific Florida player] is like the [dated cultural reference] version of [obscure player from the middle 1980s] except that his [some ridiculous stoner concept about grizzly bears] has been filtered through the political ideology of [random indie artist currently on tour with Built to Spill]?" We all have to pay the rent, rockers. I know who I am. — Chuck Klosterman

Stoner Quotes By J.M. Darhower

Sorry, hippie, I didn't get you anything."
Hannah shook her head. "I don't know why you insist on calling me that."
"Sorry, hippie, I didn't get you anything."
Hannah shook her head. "I don't know why you insist on calling me that."
"You do the hippie stuff, like play with nature and gaze at the cosmos. If you were mortal, you'd totally smoke reefer and sing 'Kumbaya' with your stoner friends. — J.M. Darhower

Stoner Quotes By Laura Frantz

You believe in heaven, Mister Stoner?'
'More than I believe in here, aye.'
She smoothed a corner of the folded blanket. 'Out here in the quiet heaven seems near, nearer than the inn where it's all bustle and noise.'
'You can hear the Almighty speak in the silences, you mean. See His hand most clear. I believe so too, but you got to want to see Him. hear Him.' He looked toward the hatchet throwers. 'Not turn a blind eye and ride right over what He's put in your path, nor try to outrun Him. Mebbe it's up to you and me to slow some folks down so they get quiet enough to hear Him. — Laura Frantz

Stoner Quotes By Kate Madison

In an attempt to help me move on from my failed marriage, my mom set me up with Jesus Freak. In fact, the stoner hadn't even finished moving out when she told me not to worry, because she already had someone better lined up for me. I was just lonely and desperate enough to endure a four-month celibate long distance relationship with a guy who read 15 chapters of the Bible and prayed for two hours every day and expected me to follow suit. He wanted to give our hypothetical children Bible names and for us to move to Korea to become missionaries. — Kate Madison

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

In his forty-third year William Stoner learned what others, much younger, had learned before him: that the person one loves at first is not the person one loves at last, and that love is not an end but a process through which one person attempts to know another. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

Masters, holding aloft a hard-boiled egg from the free lunch as if it were a crystal ball, said, "Have you gentlemen ever considered the question of the true nature of the University? Mr. Stoner? Mr. Finch?" Smiling, they shook their heads. "I'll bet you haven't. Stoner, here, I imagine, sees it as a great repository, like a library or a whorehouse, where men come of their free will and select that which will complete them, where all work together like little bees in a common hive. The True, the Good, the Beautiful. They're just around the corner, in the next corridor; they're in the next book, the one you haven't read, or in the next stack, the one you haven't got to. But you'll get to it someday. And when you do - when you do - " He looked at the egg for a moment more, then took a large bite of it and turned to Stoner, his jaws working and his dark eyes bright. — John Edward Williams

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

I love what I do, and I just remember that every breath and every moment is a gift and it can be taken away at any time, so I want to appreciate it and be grateful for it while it's here. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By Courtney Summers

I think you're crazy good at this survival stuff, Cary."
His shoulders sag. He gives me a small, relieved smile and we start walking again, his step a little lighter than it was before. It feels strange to have that kind of power over someone.
"I mean, you're crazy good at it for a stoner who couldn't seem to get his shit together academically at all," I add. — Courtney Summers

Stoner Quotes By Katie McGarry

We walked toward the arcade and Noah shifted his hand to allow his fingers to rest beside mine. My heart galloped like a horse. This was Noah Hutchins. The Noah Hutchins that refused steady relationships or even dating. The Noah Hutchins that only wanted one-night stands. A stoner. My opposite. And right now, everything I wanted. — Katie McGarry

Stoner Quotes By Dizzy Wright

Picked up the yoga, put down the soda.
My healthy mind ... that's what's gon' help me over.
Life of a stoner (if you still concerned),
I never lose, I only win or learn;
It's all about your state of mind. — Dizzy Wright

Stoner Quotes By Alyson Stoner

Being a perfectionist, I didn't want to settle for just getting by, so I enrolled in a vocal training program. I then learned that songwriting and studying the voice actually pair with a lot of troubles that I had expressing myself, being vulnerable, trusting other people, trusting myself, calming anxiety. It became a life instructor of sorts and that is what kept me engaged with it. — Alyson Stoner

Stoner Quotes By John Edward Williams

When he returned, Edith was in bed with the covers pulled to her chin, her face turned upward, her eyes closed, a thin frown creasing her forehead. Silently, as if she were asleep, Stoner undressed and got into bed beside her. For several moments he lay with his desire, which had become an impersonal thing, belonging to himself alone. He spoke to Edith, as if to find a haven for what he felt; she did not answer. He punt his hand upon her and felt beneath the thin cloth of her nightgown the flesh he had longed for. He moved his hand upon her; she did not stir; her frown deepened. Again he spoke, saying her name to silence; then he moved his hand upon her, gentle in his clumsiness. When he touched the softness of her thighs she turned her head sharply away and lifted her arm to cover her eyes. She made no sound. — John Edward Williams
