Treading the soil of the moon, palpitating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one`s stomach the separation from terra - these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known
Vladimir Nabokov
Al, over the years we`ve taken roles from one another. People have tried to compare us to one another, to pit us against each one another and to tear us apart personally. I`ve never seen the comparison frankly. I`m clearly much taller, more the leading-ma...
Robert De Niro
Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.
Mae West
(on Hollywood in the 1980s) "We live in a snake pit here...I hate it but I just don`t allow myself to face the fact that I hold it in contempt because it keeps on turning out to be the only place to go."
Orson Welles
I feel a strange kinship with Michael [Moore]. They`re trying to pit us against each other in the press, but it`s a hologram. They really have got nothing to do with one another. It`s just some kind of device, some left-right. He makes some salient points...
Mel Gibson
We`ve got a smart team, our pit stops have been rockin`, we`ve got all the things that we need to do, we just need to qualify better so I`m not playing catch-up.
Anne Tucker
We were walking down to the pit to dance, ... Then it went off. People were running and screaming. It was really confusing. We walked miles until we found a cab.
Jennifer Aspen
We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous.
Jackie Stewart
We haven`t by no means had a spectacular year or even a decent year, and you can`t really pit it on one person. We haven`t run well, so we did some changes around. It`s not like we brought in anybody different. We did some swapping around with the teams, ...
Anthony Solomon
To be honest, I never wanted to live in L.A.. I like this area, but L.A.`s a pit, sorry. I`m from San Francisco, but you can`t find these cars there and you can`t find a place to work.
Brian Friedman
The Congress has historically played covert communal politics in order to create what in India we call vote banks where you pit one community against another and so on in order to secure votes.
Arundhati Roy
That`s what makes our sport so unique. You can sit there and watch it on TV, and you get more of the perspective of the pit strategy and the way the guys are passing each other out on the track. Then when you come to the race, you lose a little bit of tha...
Kurt Busch
That`s right, fall in one pit and start over from the beginning! Well, thankfully my buddies practically tied me to my chair until I put in extra lives and I`m glad they did.
David Crane
Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.
Judy Davis

Judy Davis
It`s really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don`t you think?
Winona Ryder
It was a good day for us; track position was so huge and right out there at the end we were running third, we had a big battle on the pit box on what we were going to do,
Casey Mears
I`m hoping we can get one of the Busch teams to pit us on Sunday. If some sponsors come out of the woodwork, maybe we can buy some new tires, too. That`d be a nice luxury.
Asad Mustafa
I want to see the premier and the attorney general (Michael Bryant), who showed such vigour (last summer) when it came to (banning) pit bulls, showing the same vigour when it comes to the criminal justice system,
Arthur Bryan
I think we all felt a little bitter. When that announcement was made, every one of us had a pit in our stomach. Hopefully, the team used that as motivation throughout the summer. I know the coaching staff used it as motivation during the summer - that we ...
Anita Barker
I think it will perform the same at California. Now that doesn`t mean you can`t have a flat tire or a bad pit stop or a broken part ... but I do think that we`ll go there and be competitive enough to run up front, and, hopefully, challenge for a win.
Matt Kenseth
I talk to them the way I talk to them. Missy talks the way she talks to them. The way Sam talks ? `You`re going to be OK; this is what you`re feeling; this is why you`re feeling it.` ? is a little different. Then we send them to the pit bulls. They do wha...
