The keynote of simple folk is bad manners, familiarity. They intrude on one's private soul.
As time goes on you're getting more knowledge of your playbook and football, and you just pick it up a lot easier. Lining up everywhere is just second nature to me now.
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Familiarity breeds consent.
Courtesy, like grace and beauty, that which begets liking and inclination to love one another at the first sight, and in the very beginning of our acquaintance and familiarity; and, consequently, that which first opens the door for us to better ourselves by the example of others, if there be anything in the society worth notice
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well.
In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.
Familiarity breeds contempt.
I feel very at home in L.A., I think, because it's dry, and there's sun, like the West Texas I grew up in.
Nick is 11 and a half years younger than I am, so his mom is only, like, 11 or 12 years older than me. I didn't call her Mrs. Offerman because that would be weird because we're, like, the same age, so I think I went straight to Cathy, but there's a mom element, and his parents are so great.
I've been at Stoke for eight years... I think I've had the same towel for almost eight years.
Maybe it's just a personal thing, but I get so much grounding from Iceland because I know it's always going to be there. I have a very happy, healthy relationship with the country, so it's really easy to go everywhere because I always have Iceland to go back to.
Jake went in, aware that he had, for the first time in three weeks, opened a door without hoping madly to find another world on the other side. A bell jingled overhead. The mild, spicy smell of old books hit him, and the smell was somehow like coming home.
I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.
Here's the deal: the extraordinary becomes ordinary really quickly. One minute, everything is new and amazing, the next it's expected.
I know CIA like the back of my hand.
It's so funny because when you're working with an acquaintance or someone else, you're being more polite. I find that I'm a little bit more of a brat when I'm in the studio with my dad, so I feel bad.
I think the biggest thing is kind of working everywhere and working with different people that, when I did walk through the door at WWE and looked around, I didn't really feel that out of place because every second face I looked at is somebody I've known for over a decade or worked with or I've been around in some capacity in the industry.
I think we stick with what we know.
There are no conditions of life to which a man cannot get accustomed, especially if he sees them accepted by everyone around him.
I'm not really comfortable with being on songs with cats I don't really know.
There is nothing new except what has been forgotten.
Every once in a while, I hear somebody call me Tracy to try to let me know that they know me, you know, personally. But most of my real friends will call me Trey, or 'Ice' was basically short for Iceberg. So they would call me - some of my boys call me Berg.
People always tell me that they grew up with me - like I'm their brother or uncle or some other family member. That keeps me going.
