You can't play man to man against Liverpool and out-pass them. You have to keep your shape and stop them.
Oh, I have now a mania for shortness. Whatever I read - my own or other people's works - it all seems to me not short enough.
I feel like I'm small and mighty and pack a powerful punch, just like Tide PODS.
What is the real function, the essential function, the supreme function, of language? Isn't it merely to convey ideas and emotions? Certainly. Then if we can do it with words of fonetic brevity and compactness, why keep the present cumbersome forms?
I have the bigger iPad, but the Mini is the best. It just seems perfect. The old one seems so big and heavy. I like simple and clean.
The width of a line may present the idea of infinity. An epigram may contain a world. In the same way, a small picture format may be much more living, much more leavening, stirring, awakening, than square yards of wall space.
Yeah, I'm short. But I'm strong and I can move my feet. And I can stay in front of anybody.
I've always felt that a really good joke, a really good one-liner, is a really good line of poetry. It's imagistic, it's compact, there is a rhythm to it.
Good things come in small packages.
Oak... lasts for an unlimited period when buried in underground structures... when exposed to moisture... it cannot take in liquid on account of its compactness, but, withdrawing from the moisture, it resists it and warps, thus making cracks.
Hence a ship is said to be tight, when her planks are so compact and solid as to prevent the entrance of the water in which she is immersed: and a cask is called tight, when the staves are so close that none of the liquid contained therein can issue through or between them.
(Scottish Terriers) have all the compactness of a small dog and all the valor of a big one. And they are so exceedingly sturdy that it is proverbial that the only thing fatal to them is being run over by an automobile - in which case the car itself knows it has been in a fight.
No matter how much striking power you have got, you need to have a sense of defensive compactness from everyone.
We see portability in electronics being a continuing requirement, higher functionality, better battery life, requiring lower power for the actual electronics.
Poems are ideally suited, in some ways, to social media because they pack so much meaning into so little language.
I was lightweight - that was the whole point of me.
What Liverpool do really well is they try to get you inside but then close you down.
I think men like things tight and simple.
I like that the best about DVD: how small it is.
You can say anything with a Post-It. I’m not entirely sure why that is. Maybe the friendliness of the squares makes it easier. A square is nicely compact and less intimidating than a full page. And they come in cheerful colors. Non-white paper is kind of inherently festive. Or maybe paper that sticks feels more important than paper that can blow away. (Though you can move them, if you need to put them somewhere else.) They might not be as lasting as words carved in stone, but Post-It thoughts will stay. For awhile, at least.
Infinite riches in a little room.
For me, what makes Liverpool special is that they are a team that works very well on the lines, very compact, in which everyone attacks and defends.
I don't need a lot of space.
I always carry multipurpose products in my handbag.
I'm not small, I'm space-efficient.
