10 QUOTES WITH «HUNTED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word hunted.
1
Gabriel Basso
I had one of the most outdoorsy childhoods you could imagine. I basically lived in the woods until I was 13. My dad and I built a huge treehouse in our backyard in Chesterfield, about 30 feet in the air. And we'd vacation on an island in Michigan, where I hunted a deer that we ate.
2
Jay Griffiths
Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin. But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence.
3
Sara Harrison
When whistleblowers come forward, we need to fight for them, so others will be encouraged. When they are gagged, we must be their voice. When they are hunted, we must be their shield. When they are locked away, we must free them. Giving us the truth is not a crime. This is our data, our information, our history. We must fight to own it.
4
Ernest Hemingway
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
5
Frank James
I have been hunted for twenty-one years. I have literally lived in the saddle. I have never known a day of perfect peace.
6
Richard Jewell
I felt like a hunted animal, followed constantly, waiting to be killed.
7
Bela Karolyi
I'm tired of being hunted all over. I can't go anywhere without criticism.
8
Jenna McCarthy
What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault.
9
Lindsey McKeon
'Indigenous' is a bit of a gory thriller film that's centered around five best friends who take a vacation to Panama. They are enticed into the forbidden jungle by a local Panamanian and are being hunted by an indigenous creature - the legendary Chupacabra.
10
Stark Sands
I grew up in Texas in a family that fished and hunted, so I've shot guns as a kid.
