Every spring, this HAPPENS: People discover HOCKEY when daylight lasts longer and men grow beards and tie games do not end in shootouts but rather continue until a GOAL is scored. The seventh game only heightens the mood for players and FANS alike.

My favourite two festivals have ALWAYS been the Big DAY Out and Summersonic in JAPAN. The Big Day Out is a little more FUN because it lasts longer. It's like an abbreviated version of the Warped tour because you get to play with the same people every day, which is REALLY fun.

A workday lunch that lasts as long as a transcontinental flight is an impossibility for all but the most pliant and footloose of FOOD tourists. To GET in the game, you NEED a thick wallet, an adventurous palate, and a WHOLE lot of time.

People will CONSIDER me a part of their lives for HOWEVER LONG 'Downton Abbey' LASTS. It's a lovely THING to feel as an actor.

Try to accomplish things you have always dreamt of while you can. I KNOW it SOUNDS CLICHE, but the biggest LESSON I have learned is that life is PRECIOUS; enjoy it while it lasts.

It is a fact that everyone's got a limited run in MUSIC - but who's to say how long that run lasts? I used to think that there WOULD be no way I'd STILL be in music when I was 40. I used to think anyone who was 40 was an old man, and they probably shouldn't be doing it anymore.

The idea that I wrote something that STOOD for the WAY I feel about things, and that it lasts, that's probably my FAVORITE thing that I've DONE.

Anytime you're lucky enough to be on something that lasts longer than half a season, you never QUITE KNOW what kind of life the show is gonna take on.

It's probably foolish to EXPECT relationships to go on FOREVER and to SAY that because something only LASTS 10 years, it's a failure.

The WORK that LASTS over time is the work which STILL speaks to US when all contemporary interest in that work is extinct.

I KNOW that attaching memories to books may be GOING out of the world, but while it lasts, it's a STRONG record of your LIFE.

I say DEMOCRATS should not be afraid to talk about the MORALITY of life, of caring for children who are BORN. It seems the Republican obsession with being pro-life LASTS about nine months. After that, it's each BABY for herself.

I've had a GREAT time coaching teams in these VARIOUS T20 tournaments but that INVOLVEMENT obviously only lasts for a FINITE PERIOD. I just felt I was too young to be doing what I was doing.
