Fear is that thing that keeps you up there on that other plateau. Fear is that thing that just keeps you closed down, and quite frankly, alone.
Andrew Shue

For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People's ears are really open, they are not closed. A lot of scenes here, people just get tunnel vision and are into one thing.
John Zorn

For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors - tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why.
Peter Mandelson

He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed.
Murray Walker

He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.
Earl Scruggs

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein

I almost died, secretly, behind closed doors.
Stephen Baldwin

I became quite taken over by Johnson's personality at some points while writing the biography, and since I went straight on to The Closed Circle afterwards, I did sometimes feel I could hear him whispering in my ear while I was working on it.
Jonathan Coe

I could have closed down bits of British Home Stores to make more money but it's not my style. I want to make my money as a retailer, not by putting people out of work.
Philip Green

I developed the habit of writing novels behind a closed door, or at my uncle's, on the dining table.
Patrick White

I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.
John Ashbery

I have absolutely no idea what my generation did to enrich our democracy. We dropped the ball. We entered a period of complacency and closed our eyes to the public corruption of our democracy.
Wynton Marsalis

I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.
Gertrude Stein

I have closed that page of my life without rancor. I do not disown any of the work done.
Riccardo Muti

I kept an interested eye on the transfer window in England, which opened and closed last month, and the lack of frantic activity just goes to show the current financial state of the game right now.
David Ginola

I live in a very small town and now that I've closed down my studio, I'm working at home.
Sergio Aragones

I mean, I've sold all these scripts and nothing's been made. Studios have closed, stars have died. I had a director find Jesus. And the pictures just don't get made.
Bruce Vilanch

I never slept when I lost. I'd see the sun come up without ever having closed my eyes. I'd see those base hits over and over and they would drive me crazy.
Robin Roberts

I prefer to see with closed eyes.
Josef Albers

I reckon I closed down at least two films companies, one of which was in Ealing in the mid 1950s.
Nigel Kneale
