Men read maps better than women because only men can understand the concept of an inch equaling a hundred miles.
In this he was like most Midwesterners. Directions are very important to them. They have an innate need to be oriented, even in their anecdotes. Any story related by a Midwesterner will wander off at some point into a thicket of interior monologue along the lines of
Sheldon: I'm polymerized tree sap and you're an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns to its original trajectory and adheres to you.
Arthur Weasley: [after the trio is nearly hit by several Stunning Spells] Stop! That's my son! [he runs up to the kids] Arthur Weasley: Ron, Harry, Hermione are you alright? Ron: We came back for Harry. Barty Crouch: [Whipping out his wand and pointing it threateningly between the three kids] Which of you conjured it? Arthur Weasley: Barty, you can't be serious... Barty Crouch: DO NOT LIE! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime! Harry: Crime? Arthur Weasley: Barty, they're just kids. Harry: What crime? Hermione: It's the Dark Mark, Harry. It's HIS Mark. Harry: [glances up at the huge skull and snake in the air] Voldemort? Those people, in the masks, they're his too aren't they? His followers. Arthur Weasley: Death Eaters. Barty Crouch: [to the rest of the Ministry Wizards] Follow me. Harry: Uh, there was a man, earlier. [he points in the direction where he saw Crouch, Jr] Harry: There. Barty Crouch: All of you, this way! Arthur Weasley: A man, Harry? Who was he? Harry: I don't know. I didn't see his face.
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.
Johnny Knoxville: [giving off camera direction to Jason Acuna] Kick yourself in the head, wee man.
Dr. Desmond Forest Oates: What direction do you think "left" is? See, because if you go with your instinct and reverse it, I think we have something happening. How difficult is this? I'm so alone, I think. Jessica: I am trying. You are intimidating me. Dr. Desmond Forest Oates: Well you are FRIGHTENING me. You understand that? How do you get dressed in the morning? Do you have people come in, or do you just lie in state?
Dewey Finn: I pledge allegiance... to the band... of Mr. Schneebly... and will not fight him... for creative control... and will defer to him on all issues related to the musical direction of the band.
Russell Fenton: What happened to your old band? Adam: Oh, you know, artistic differences. I didn't like the direction the band was going... Owen: So they kicked you out.
I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.
You cannot change your destination overnight. You can change your direction.---Jim Rohn
When I had to work Shea Stadium for a Mets-Braves game
[having been distracted by Max's inability to decide which direction to go at a junction, Goofy gets mad. Max smiles nervously] Max: How about a song, Dad? [Goofy gets madder] Max: A game? A game! Yeah, yeah, a game. Okay. Uh, man or woman? [Goofy gets even madder] Max: Man? Man! Okay. Uh, Walt Disney!
Andre The Giant: [to Strike] You even glance in the direction of that little kid Tyrone, and I'm a fuck you up so bad you're gonna wish I had killed you.
Larry Joseph Burrows: How can my life change so much just because I hit one stinking baseball? Mike the Bartender at Universal Joint Bar: Well, you see Larry, one's destiny is a very complicated thing. Every incident in a person's life affects everything else that follows it. Instead of missing the baseball, however, you hit it. Then you became a hero, married the prom queen, and so on, and so forth, until you find yourself exactly where you are. So you see, hitting that baseball has spun your life off in an entirely new direction. Larry Joseph Burrows: Are you an angel or something? Mike the Bartender at Universal Joint Bar: Not exactly, no. Larry Joseph Burrows: Then what are you? Mike the Bartender at Universal Joint Bar: Have you ever been faced with a decision, and you weren't sure what to do? Larry Joseph Burrows: Yeah, sure, plenty of times. Mike the Bartender at Universal Joint Bar: And then something inside you made you choose one direction over another? Larry Joseph Burrows: Yeah. So? Mike the Bartender at Universal Joint Bar: So that's me. I make the suggestions, and you make the choices. That's how destiny works, Larry - very subtly. Welcome to your new life, Larry. I hope you like it.
[Kenan and Kel are being chased by bikers in the middle of a biker bar] Kenan: [to distract the bikers] Hey look, it's the Great Wall Of China! [All of the bikers stop, including Kel, and they all stare into the direction of where Kenan pointed, as if the Great Wall Of China were really there] Kenan: [Approaches Kel] C'mon, let's go! Kel Kimble: Shh, I'm looking at the Great Wall Of China. Kenan: There is no Great Wall Of China! [the bikers continue the chase around the bar]
Lureen Newsome: Do you think I'm going too fast? Maybe I should put on the brakes? Jack Twist: Fast or slow, I like the direction you're going.
Sean Ambrose: If you look at Hunt's operational history, and I have, you'll notice that he invariably favors misdirection over confrontation.
Don't worry, your prince will come someday. Mine...? Oh, he just took a wrong turn, got lost, and it too stubborn to ask for directions.
Captain Jyanix Bach: I joined the Empire about six years ago. I remember as a kid, you know, watching the holographic images and being excited about the new direction that the galaxy was taking. So, when I was old enough, I went down to the local recruitment center, you know, and signed up. And I've been here at Tattooine ever since. Most people would call this the ass end of space, but I like the small town feeling you get around here. I mean, we know everybody. Everybody. And I feel like I really make a difference here.
Mind you, Thunder Bay has a lot of outskirts. It's actually two cities melded together, so in a sense it has twice as many outskirts as other places. It's understandable that we got lost....
Reggie: I sure hope that ball got a better sense of direction than mine do.
Study the past if you would define the future.
If you lose direction, go to a higher ground.
