shot

«Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.»
«I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.»
«It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.»
«I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot . . . when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.»
«In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.»
«I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot.»
«Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say that what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down.»
«I dunno how much AIDS scares y'all, but I got a theory: the day they come out with a cure for AIDS, a guaranteed one-shot cure, on that day there's gonna be fucking in the streets, man.»
«It is easy to dodge a spear that comes in front of you but hard to keep harms away from an arrow shot from behind.»
«I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad.»
