Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

He submits to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.

History has always been a series of pendulum swings, but the individual doesn't have to get caught in that.

Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.

Human behavior in the midst of hardship caught my attention very early on, and my first stories were all pictures, no words.

I already hated that gray suit and then having to go through putting on that wig with a false front - again made me feel so trapped inside this person who was desperately wanting to break out of it but she was so caught up in the web of deception that she couldn't.

Edwin W. Edwards

I don't know how to put it, but yet you know we have so many people who the way they look at life, the way they work depends on what happens, us winning or losing. It's kind of crazy. So, I kind of got caught up in that, I'm gonna try to stay away from that.
Mike Ditka

I don't understand if you get caught in a fight, but take it out on a room, how that implies some psychiatric disorder.

Kim Y. Sam

I felt really sorry for Oliver Kahn. Up to that point he had made lots of saves for the German team. Of course he could have caught the ball but it just happened. It was bad luck. In that situation, you need to be very strong psychologically to carry on.

I got caught kissing. Like by my parents. It was so horrible. It's so embarrassing, I'm blushing.

I got caught up on drugs for a few years, I'm off it, I'm very happy, got two kids and a family and everything. And like I said I'm making the underground music, and keeping it real.
