It was a scene of almost suicidal finality. — Edward Said
I had a rope around my waist, and the rope was attached into the helicopter in case I fell off. And the shot was a shot that began with Kim Novak going out of a house and getting into a bus.

The death of Saddam Hussein at rope's end brings a pleasure that is undeniable, and absolutely chaste in its provenance. — William F. Buckley, Jr.

Something to be proud of before you kick the bucket — George Orwell

When you're not playing up to your capability, you gotta try everything, to motivate, to get them going. All of them have to be on the same end of the rope to pull together.

I try to remind them of that. — Tommy Lasorda
