Sound bites

I remember when people first started saying, “It’s not the heat; it’s the humidity.

No. It’s not the heat OR the humidity – it was hearing that phrase over and over.

I come from the generation that coined the term “postal.” We parented the generation that itself spawned urbandictionary. Sound bites calm us and delineate our lives. We could tell the history of the past 30 years by the sound bites associated with the time.

In the New England spirit of complaining about the weather, here are some “heat” quotes:

Deal with the Devil if the Devil has a constituency – and don’t complain about the heat.
C. J. Cherryh

I don’t always wear underwear. When I’m in the heat, especially, I can’t wear it. Like, if I’m wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
Naomi Campbell  [Like, I know, right?]

I’m cautious about using fire. It can become theatrical. I am interested in the heat, not the flames.
Andy Goldsworthy

The good Lord made us all out of iron. Then he turns up the heat to forge some of us into steel.
Marie Osmond

Words can sometimes be used to confuse, but it’s up to the practitioners of the study of language to apply them for good and not for evil. It is just like fire; fire can heat your house or burn it down.
Frank Luntz

I’m very excited about my new agreement with the Heat. This contract allows me to address all of my family’s long-term financial goals while allowing the Heat the ability to acquire those players that we need to win a championship.
Shaquille O’Neal  [Long-term financial goals??!?]

Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart.
Arnold H. Glasgow

It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.
Yogi Berra

And one “Cold” quote:

A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.
Marilyn Monroe
