I keep up with James Kochalka's online strip, and if I see a link somewhere or someone tells me about something, I'll look at it, but I don't usually keep up with any sites other than the 'American Elf.' I always have this feeling that there's not enough space in the screen, like everything's always getting cut off.

10 QUOTES WITH «LINK»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word link.
1
David Attenborough

The gaps and questions actually increase - it's extraordinary.
2
Anatoli Boukreev

Rory Bremner

7
Lizzy Caplan
I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
8
Matt Cartwright
A balanced diet and physical activity are vital to academic performance. A healthy diet has a direct link to increased cognitive function and memory skills, decreased absenteeism from school, and improved mood. These advantages can help students stay focused and complete their coursework.

Eduardo Chillida
What comes from oneself, is nearly from no one. There is only me as a link.
