This means I must pay close attention to the writing, but equally so to the scientific background - which sometimes means doing fairly involved calculations.
Stanley Schmidt

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

This sense of power is the highest and best of pleasures when the belief on which it is founded is a true belief, and has been fairly earned by investigation.
William Kingdon Clifford

Tim sends me a fairly ambitious workup in notebook form noting the passages we're going to cover and the chronology of the biblical events, and his commentaries on those things he's read and written.
Jerry B. Jenkins

Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together.

Nigel Short

We have played so well that the guys have really made my job fairly easy.
Ricky Ponting

We have today a fairly thorough knowledge of the early Greco-Roman period because our motivations are the same.
Arthur Erickson

We humans are a fairly barbarous bunch.
Neil LaBute

We see things like reciprocity which are fairly central to our view of ethics. But if you're talking about a set of worked-out rules on what we are supposed to do then, yes, it is a human product.
Peter Singer

We used to speak familiarly of an agent, now do more, who was accustomed to manufacture evidence, and to invent facts in his cases, or at least to alter the aspects of facts to such an extent that they might fairly be viewed as new.
George Combe

We were soon free of the woods and bushes, and fairly upon the broad prairie.
Francis Parkman

We're also fairly stubborn, I think, fairly independent. We have our share of difficulties with our federal government, although I've tried to as I am here encourage a better way of discussing those problems.
Dan Miller

We've had some fairly intensive discussions leading up to these meetings between NATO and Russia, preparing for them, and it's going to be a very important six months for NATO.
Warren Christopher

What are friends? Some people are nice. Some people aren't. There are some I'm fairly close with... we talk.
