When you’re taking a fence on a horse, you don’t think much; your body does all the thinking, and you’re over or you’re not over. It’s much the same when you are doing a tricky thing with a pen. There are times when I’m writing very, very fast. Patrick O’Brian
The word ‘religion’ is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word ‘faith’.

Ridley Scott

I think its blood and strength and life. I do love red. I love all colors. Great shades of blue, you find them in nature. They’re all magic. Bryan Batt
That’s the thing about zombies. They don’t adapt and they don’t think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That’s why they’re so scary. Max Brooks

I actually do my own renovations. I designed and built a 100-foot split-cedar rail fence to enclose my property. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Don’t recommend doing it alone. I also built a 100-square-foot back porch. Again, don’t recommend doing it alone. Jeffrey Donovan
I used to live with my grandmother. I used to wonder why the other kids in school went home with their mothers and fathers. I wanted to be the guy that got married. I wanted to be the guy with the children and the white picket fence. I never had that. Kevin Gates

Yeah, you got the family dog and the white picket fence, and you just think that’s all there is.

They don’t know. Michael Vick
We can build the fence. We can triple the border patrol. We can end sanctuary cities by cutting off funding to them. We can end welfare for those here illegally. Ted Cruz

One way to bring down crime in the state of California and every state in the union is to have an enforceable border. That means let’s build that border fence. When people want to come into this country, let’s ask them to knock on the front door. Duncan Hunter
By August 2008, we had left Voikovskaya and moved into a wooden dacha in the artists’ colony of Sokol in north-west Moscow. The house was a haven amid the madness of the city: lily of the valley grew near our front gate, Virginia creeper decked the green picket fence. Luke Harding
A collection of huts surrounded by a barbed wire fence, and in the huts lived 500 of the original inhabitants of our area. And so it went with many country towns around Australia. Phillip Noyce

I’ll try anything, but the pig testicles in Taiwan were a little much. Eh, it wasn’t half bad. There was this one dish I had there, the translation is, ‘The Monk Jumps over the Fence.’ It’s a fish dish with all these spices. It was beautiful, man – it was poetry. It had a whole story. Steven Adams
The security fence is reversible. Human lives are irreversible. Silvan Shalom
