10 QUOTES WITH «THE BOX»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word the box.
1
Grant Achatz
If I had one piece of advice for people - if they are cooking from the Alinea cookbook, the Betty Crocker cookbook or the back of the box - read through the entire recipe first before reaching for any ingredients, and then read again and execute the directions.
2
Robert Adams
The experience of life that you and I have is pretty much a jigsaw puzzle in the box: Day-to-day experiences of disconnected pieces that don't seem to justify the efforts we make each day.
3
David Bailey
The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso, and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it, but they said that about the box brownie in 1885 when it came out. It makes photography interesting because everyone thinks they can take a picture.
4
Johnny Bench
It was not me failing that I was scared of. It was failing those people back home who believe in you. They only delivered the newspaper once a week where I lived in Oklahoma, and those people lived and died with the box score of my games.
5
James Lee Burke
I used to save all my rejection slips because I told myself, one day I'm going to autograph these and auction them. And then I lost the box.
6
Deana Carter
Nashville has a formula, and it works a lot of the time, but it wasn't right for me. They're afraid to step outside the box - even though, with me, my success came because I was outside of the box to begin with.
7
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.
8
Josh Charles
There's certain things that you can do on cable that you can't do here on network TV, so then you have to think outside the box a little bit.
9
Bobby Charlton
It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box.
10
Tabatha Coffey
By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.
