Edge Quotes

Since I've been hired to contribute to the storyline of 'Doom 4' I can say what was always true anyway. I'm working. You see, for a writer, lots of stuff that doesn't look like working is actually working. Looking out of the window, for example. Balancing a pencil on the edge of the desk in order to find its exact fulcrum. Playing 'Doom.'
Graham Joyce

True, Find, Working

Arlie Russell Hochschild

Someone, Moment, Lives

The more we rely on the market, the more hooked we become on its promises: Do you need a tidier closet? A nicer family picture album? Elderly parents who are truly well cared for? Children who have an edge in school, on tests, in college and beyond? If we can afford the services involved, many if not most of us are prone to say, 'Sure, why not?'
Arlie Russell Hochschild

Family, School, Children

I thought this must be obvious to everyone else, as it seemed obvious to me; and that, if once it became apparent that we were on the edge, all the Great Powers would call a halt and recoil from the abyss.
Edward Grey

Great, Thought, Else

Eugene Levy

Chris Kirkpatrick

Music, Art, Everything

Witches are the kind of more traditional, home and family, craft people - so they're the ones who are making things; crocheting shawls and things like that. But then they also have that slightly confident, dangerous, edge. I always see them as having very extreme hair, either amazingly beautiful straight hair or kind of wild.
Deborah Harkness

Family, Home, Beautiful

Time, End, Lost

Simple, Bored, Darkness

I have thought about the next steps, and you know, they still don't know that I can dance. They don't know it, and it's frustrating me because I feel that it's an edge that I have, and I'm not talking about I took this hip hop class, I'm talking about this is how people actually know me.
Naima Adedapo

Thought, Dance, Next

Ed Balls

Time, Forward, Political

There's got to be a backbone, there's got to be a skeleton to the whole way I perform, but you never want to hit the same note twice during a performance, I think. I think it's always got to be fresh so it doesn't bore me, and I always want to go out on edge.
Casey Abrams

Same, Whole, Hit

Kim Stanley Robinson

Time, Health, Care

Dan Flavin

Light, Whole, Side

John Pistole

Technology, Focus, Through

Richard Trumka

Money, Democracy, Win

Charlie Daniels

Funny, Music, Writing

Success, Confidence, Everything

Walter F. Mondale

Night, Down, Off
