ball

Every great thing that has been accomplished, and is yet to be accomplished, starts with a dream.

Wake up for your call no matter how many times you fall; Stand tall and stretch yourself once more. Rise up from the ground, roll the ball and be hopeful you will score!

Even our recreation was scheduled. There was no time to look for birds or wander into the nearby woods. We were put into teams and sent into violent pursuit of a helpless ball.

You don't need to play every ball but every ball needs your judgement.

Mobile__ reputation as the birthplace of Mardi Gras in North America does not rest solely on the fact that a few half-starved French colonists observed the pre-Lenten feasts here 300 years ago_ In 1852, a group of Mobile "Cowbellians" moved to New Orleans and formed the Krewe of Comus, which is now that larger city__ oldest and most secretive Carnival society._All of Mobile__ parading societies throw Moon Pies along with beads and doubloons, providing sugary nourishment to the revelers lining the streets.The crowd is very regional, mostly coastal Alabamians. Everyone seems to know each other, and they are always honored and often extra hospitable when they learn that you traveled a long way just to visit *their* Carnival. Late into the evening, silk-gowned debutantes with their white-tie and tail clad escorts who__e grown weary of their formal balls blend easily with the street crowds_

Internal character: how you behave when no one is watching.

The information. Every bit that of information that was ever in your brain. But the information is not the mind Jenna. That we've never accomplished before. What we've done with you is groundbreaking. We cracked the code. The mind is an energy that the brain produces. Think of a glass ball twirling on your fingertip. If it falls, it shatters into a million pieces. All the parts of a ball are still there, but it will never twirl with that force on your fingertip again. The brain is the same way.

The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.

You know all of the young gentlemen better than I do,_ Lady Manston continued. __re there any we should avoid?_ All of them, George wanted to say. ''What about Ashbourne__ son?''__o._ __o?_ his mother echoed. __o, as in you don__ have an opinion?_ __o, as in no. He is not for Billie._ Who, George could not help but note, was watching the mother-son exchange with an odd mix of curiosity and alarm. __ny particular reason?_ Lady Manston asked. __e gambles,_ George lied. Well, maybe it wasn__ a lie. All gentlemen gambled. He had no idea if the one in question did so to excess. __hat about the Billington heir? I think he __ __lso no._ His mother regarded him with an impassive expression. __e__ too young,_ George said, hoping it was true. __e is?_ She frowned. __ suppose he might be. I can__ remember precisely.

But there she was, standing next to his mother, so beautiful, so radiant that he could not see anyone else. Suddenly the rest of the world seemed like such a chore. He didn__ want to be here at this dance, with people he didn__ want to talk to and messages he didn__ particularly wish to deliver. He didn__ want to dance with young ladies he didn__ know, and he didn__ want to make polite conversation with people he did. He just wanted Billie, and he wanted her all to himself. He forgot about Tallywhite. He forgot about pease, porridge, and pudding, and he stalked across the room with such single-minded purpose that the crowds seemed to melt from his path. And somehow, amazingly, the rest of the world had not yet noticed her. She was so beautiful, so uncommonly alive and real in this room full of waxen dolls. She would not go undiscovered for long. But not yet. Soon he would have to fight the throngs of eager young gentlemen, but for now, she was still his alone.

It is not Atlas who carries the world on his shoulders, but woman; and sometimes she plays with it as with a ball.

Rumours should be juicy and gossips must be mouth-watering, since they have to uplift and make people feel better. Tittle-tattle can have a swift ripple effect and when the ball is rolling very fast, it kick-starts a flood of moral destruction. __chadenfreude_ can, then, be fully enjoyed. (__uicy rumours_)

Champions never sleep, the eternal spirit keep them alert and awake.

Men spend their time in following a ball or a hare it is the pleasure even of kings.

I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.

None of my costume designers have ever been nominated for an Oscar 'cause I don't do period movies that have ball scenes with a hundred extras in them.

Most ball games are lost, not won.

It's a round ball and a round bat, and you got to hit it square.
