Pool Quotes
-
Debate doesn’t really change things. It gets you bogged in deeper. If you can address or reopen the subject with something new, something from a different angle, then there is some hope. ... People are suddenly gazing at something else and pausing for a moment. And for the duration of that gaze and pause, they are like reflectors of the totality of their own knowledge and/or ignorance. That’s something poetry can do for you, it can entrance you for a moment above the pool of your own consciousness and your own possibilities.

How do we get the right gene and talent pool in politics?
Tony Blair

All you need is a pool table, beer, an electric jukebox and good conversation. The day a girl beats me in a game of Beirut a kind of beer pong is a good sign!
Chace Crawford

J. R. R. Tolkien
-
When I stopped doing ballet, I started training in the pool. I would do my barre exercises in the water, because that prevents injuries.
Summer Glau

The fact is that knowledge about the Constitution and the Court is not something that is handed down through the gene pool; every generation has to learn it. And I'm not sure the recent generations have done that good a job of learning about it.
Sandra Day O'Connor
-
