10 QUOTES WITH «LOOK OVER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word look over.
1
George Catlin
I have seen him set fire to his wigwam and smooth over the graves of his fathers... clap his hand in silence over his mouth, and take the last look over his fair hunting ground, and turn his face in sadness to the setting sun.
2
Oxana Chusovitina
The kids are so much fun. I'm always taking a look over at what they're doing because it reminds me of when I was so small before.
3
Robert M. Gates
I've spent my entire adult life with the United States as a superpower and one that had no compunction about spending what it took to sustain that position. And it didn't have to look over its shoulder because our economy was so strong.
4
Magic Johnson
If you're a competitive person, that stays with you. You don't stop. You always look over your shoulder.
5
George Jones
There was no such thing as production at Starday. We'd go in with the band, we'd go over the song, I'd look over and tell the steel player to take a break or kick it off, and I'd get the fiddle to play a turnaround in the middle.
6
Kenneth Koch
As I look over my work, I mean every time I look over my early work, I see, yes, I could do that then and then I could do that and that... That may be the hardest thing for a writer, at least for a poet, to tell what the identity of his work is.
7
John Oates
If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
8
Ruth Ozeki
I live in a beautiful part of British Columbia, and I run through the rainforest. I do have to look over my shoulder to check for a cougar or a wolf though, so sometimes it's not the most relaxing.
9
James Roday
When he came to television, there was no way I wasn't going to watch. Of course, he delivered everything that you would expect David Lynch to deliver, and more, and he was doing it in primetime network television. Even as a 14-year old, I wanted someone in the room with me that I could look over and say, 'Can you believe we're watching this?'
10
Alexei Sayle
I've accentuated the look over the years. As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.
