Shooting clay targets is a very cleansing experience. It`s very relaxing. It takes a lot of concentration. It`s also very social, since you`re usually shooting with friends. You can talk and forget about almost anything else that`s on your mind.
- Tom SelleckThe English countryside is the most staggeringly beautiful place. I can`t spend as much time there as I like, but I like everything about it. I like fishing, I like clay- pigeon shooting. I am not involved in any `issues` because it`s too sensitive for me - or my wife - to get involved. Every time we express an opinion it becomes a whole thing in itself. And the whole purpose of living in the countryside was to get away from hundreds of people. My wife fell off a horse, and suddenly there are hundreds of people around.
- Guy Ritchie(December 1973) They`re trying to crucify Nixon (Richard Nixon), but when they`re writing the history of this period, Watergate will be no more than a footnote. Believe me, I have a high respect for the bulldogged way in which our President has been able to continue to administrate this government, in spite of the articulate liberal press - whose only purpose is to sell toilet paper and Toyotas - and in spite of the ambitious politicians who would deny him the help and encouragement that a man needs to face the problems of this country. I endorsed Spiro Agnew`s attitudes, but I knew nothing of his private affairs. I was sadly disappointed to discover his feet of clay.
- John WaynePaul Newman would have been a much more important star if he hadn`t always tried to be an anti-hero, to show the human feet of clay.
- John WayneObviously he`s a lot better on clay, so I tried to press his forehand and make points on my terms instead of his.
- Brian BakerI get them up and do things with water pistols, PVC piles with a hunk of clay or play dough in it to be arteriosclerosis and things like that,
- Bob BurnsWe did clay art. We did chalk drawings.
- Robert HortonAlways the best preparation for playing at Wimbledon is playing on the clay and getting fit. That really does help your grass court game.
- Stefan EdbergSometimes for the European players, they like to go home because they spend a long time here in the States. They feel like they want to go home. For me, that would be the main benefit of a European player to go back. The main benefit of being here is, you can still practice and set up your clay-court season under good conditions. There are lots of courts, there are good weather conditions, and you can build up for the French Open.
- Nathalie DechyI didn`t play for three weeks and it`s my first match on clay, and it was a little bit tough,
- Svetlana KuznetsovaI know I can play good on clay and can win a tournament. I just need to keep going and get more confidence on clay.
- David NalbandianWater flows through the ground naturally. At every dam site around the world, seepage occurs. The water tends to move through gravel or clay and sand.
- Jacob Davis(LIVINGSTON, Ala.-The opening reception of the University of West Alabama art exhibition) Kindred Spirits: Thirty Years of Friendship, Thirty Years of Art, ... To have all those wonderful students sitting and studying my ideas and listening to Charles tell of his love of clay was a dream come true.
- Charles SmithGold like the sun, which melts wax, but hardens clay, expands great souls.
- Al BrooksMy grandmothers are full of memories,Smelling of soap and onions and wet clay, With veins rolling roughly over quick hands, They have many clean words to say, My grandmothers were strong.
- Alysa StewartI am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
- Ambrosia PrudhommeThe physio thinks its due to the change from hard courts to clay and maybe the change in climate so I`ll make sure I get my legs massaged before my next match.
- Anthony SanfilippoI prefer hardcourts (more) than clay. My best results have always been on grass or indoor tournaments or hardcourt tournaments, so (it?s) definitely my favorite surface.
- Antonio ThompsonJohn Clay is among the best backs I`ve ever seen, and I saw Maurice Clarett play in high school. But those two guys could start for any team in the state.
- Arnold LevineI am definitely happy. The house turned out beautiful. I was born and raised in Annapolis, as a matter of fact right from the Clay Street area. I am coming back home and it is something that I can call my own.
- Barbara PachterAfflictions sent by providence melt the constancy of the noble minded, but confirm the obduracy of the vile, as the same furnace that liquefies the gold, hardens the clay
- Charles Caleb ColtonWas it for this the clay grew tall?
- Wilfred Owen
