Fairly Quotes

This means keeping many trails open at once, inevitably requiring a fairly 'parallel' plot. This plot should be discovered rather than announced, so show, don't tell.
Graham Nelson

Tell, Rather, Show

Live, Whole, Married

Bernard Cornwell

Time, Mind, Book

John Howe

Work, Become, Write

I think the biggest thing for me is being able to adjust to the way the game has changed. It's basically a 180-degree turn from the style I like to play. That's what I think I'm most proud of, being able to fit into this style of game and still be fairly successful.
Brett Hull

Successful, Game, Play

I definitely have to admit that I am fairly ignorant, not just to 'Tron,' but almost any pop culture thing that I should know, at my age. I grew up without a television and rarely got to see a movie, so I didn't really see any of that stuff, and I haven't been able to catch up since.
Tricia Helfer

Age, Able, Since

Knute Nelson

Good, American, Found

Nature is not evil. The world occasionally shrugs its shoulders, and people get knocked off. The earth, for geological reasons that are well known, is a fairly risky place to live.

Simon Winchester

Nature, Live, Evil

The notion of getting under the hood and explaining how something works, that's fairly familiar territory to me.
Scott McCloud

Getting, Works, Hood

Time, Place, Wonderful

Kim Gordon

Time, Mean, Two

Stanley Schmidt

Writing, Sometimes, Means

Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesn't get done.
Arlie Russell Hochschild

Marriage, Women, Home

Any successful nominee should possess both the temperament to interpret the law and the wisdom to do so fairly. The next Supreme Court Justice should have a record of protecting individual rights and a strong willingness to put aside any political agenda.
Bennie Thompson

Wisdom, Successful, Strong

Play, Fast, Besides

Al Kaline

Good, Thought, High

Dan Farmer

Learning, Seem, Tea

Deborah Harkness

Negative, Whatever, Show

Home, Last, Road

Done, Find, Enough

Work, Year, Exercise

Geoff Hoon

Sometimes, Decisions, Difficult

Good, Living, Become
