We laid the track on a smooth stretch of ground about one hundred feet north of the new building. – Orville Wright
I’m going to be doing solo stuff. The idea is to do ‘small’ and ‘off my beaten path,’ or go back to an old, beaten path – do some smaller things that I haven’t done in 15 or 20 years. Just to sort of get my feet wet, because I haven’t done my own material for a couple of years – I’ve been doing a lot of other things. – Patty Griffin
Although, my experience when I’ve been depressed, not only am I too depressed to sit down and write a song, I’m too depressed to pick up my feet. So if you can at least write about it, you’re halfway away from it. – Paul Westerberg
When you’re a regular gal, you look in the rearview mirror, and in the bright daylight you see that line around your mouth, but when you’re an actress and you see that line up on the big screen, it’s, like, seven feet long. – Sharon Stone
From 30 feet away she looked like a lot of class. From 10 feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away. – Raymond Chandler
When I am in New York, you know, my studio is big, about 20,000 to 25,000 square feet, and I have painting rooms and rooms I do etching in, rooms I do lithographs. – Peter Max
My girlfriend is a great support, and I’ve got a big circle of mates who keep my feet on the ground. – Rob James-Collier
I wouldn’t want the pressure of a Six Feet Under or the pressure of improvising like Curb Your Enthusiasm. – Robert Englund
One can see that a canvas is six feet by eight feet, say, quite accurately. But you can spend two minutes and think it’s five, or thirty seconds and it’s just a different bed for activities there. – Robert Rauschenberg
I was a super once – an extra – in ‘Die Fledermaus,’ and was seated within three feet of Placido Domingo. I had never heard a voice of that beauty so close up. It felt as if an electric shock were running through me. – Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We’ve begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet – so we bought a dog. Well, it’s cheaper, and you get more feet. – Rita Rudner
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a guy’s wearing flip-flop sandals, which I don’t understand. Men’s feet are disgusting to begin with, but now they’re on display when I try to go out for a nice steak at a restaurant, and I have to sit there and look at some guy’s hoof? I don’t get it. I don’t understand it. – Sebastian Maniscalco
That’s what the Senate is about. It’s the last bastion of minority rights, where a minority can be heard, where a minority can stand on its feet, one individual if necessary, and speak until he falls into the dust. – Robert Byrd
It was my wish since I was a child to become something, to be able to stand on my own two feet, to do something for myself. – Qandeel Baloch
The big fun in ‘Battleship’ is that there are no current battleships in the Navy today. The battleships are about 1,000 feet long and they have huge guns. They were what you saw in WWII. The last battleship that was used was the Missouri, which is what the Japanese surrendered to. – Peter Berg
I started working full time as a comedian in 2005, shortly after we did the Vince Vaughn ‘Wild West Comedy Show.’ I worked at the Four Seasons hotel from 1998 to 2005, so about seven years, just trying to put some food on the table and pay the rent while I went out to the open mics and got my feet wet with stand-up comedy. – Sebastian Maniscalco
A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight. – Orville Wright
When you think about it, we’re strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It’s pretty intense. – Shaun White
I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board. – Shaun White
Ryan and I didn’t grow up like this at all, with this much attention. We’ll just try to keep their feet on the ground and raise them with the values we were raised with. – Reese Witherspoon
An Ebola particle is only around eighty nanometres wide and a thousand nanometres long. If it were the size of a piece of spaghetti, then a human hair would be about twelve feet in diameter and would resemble the trunk of a giant redwood tree. – Richard Preston
Don’t you stay at home of evenings? Don’t you love a cushioned seat in a corner, by the fireside, with your slippers on your feet? – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
Playing upside down is insane. It’s two or three times more difficult than what’s normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down – all of your body is fighting gravity. – Tommy Lee
No one is perfect in this world, and we all have our battles, but it’s the way we get back on our feet and turn it around that really counts. – Tiffany Thornton
Werdum’s the champ for a reason. He’s good at jiu jitsu; like he says, he’s gotten better on his feet. – Stipe Miocic
We have seen the big loan servicers drag their feet in the Obama administration’s well-intentioned mortgage modification program. – Sheldon Whitehouse
