The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme.

I think if I was like Fred Astaire out there or like break dance fighting and doing crazy splits and stuff like that I think people would be like, 'ehhhh, I'm just going to watch him,' but the fact that they're like, 'I can do that,' it's fun and I think they lose themselves.

I understand the plays, the depth, the routes, the splits and everything. I just feel good that I can make some plays. Definitely, the game's slowed down for me.

Keep on doing things that I do - 'Beat It' dances, splits, excitement, keeping the smile going. That's what I got to do to keep up with that 'Outlandish' nickname, because I am outlandish, after all.

I can sing, I can act, my physical comedy is on point. I can do the splits.

Every band goes through breakups or splits.

I never plan to run at a certain pace. All my career my motto has been 'no limits.' I don't try to run with a set time in mind, sticking to set splits, because what happens if you're ahead of your splits - are you going to slow down?

Privatisation splits hospital services into increasingly small packages.

I blow up fireworks all the time, and I love making milkshakes and banana splits.

I used to be able to do the Chinese splits, where you open your legs sideways.

I like to do the splits onstage.

I can still do the splits on cars, but... nothing else!

The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.

A stage play is basically a form of uber-schizophrenia. You split yourself into two minds - one being the protagonist and the other being the antagonist. The playwright also splits himself into two other minds: the mind of the writer and the mind of the audience.

I started in junior high doing the splits and flips and that kind of stuff. It was kind of the acceptable thing to do. But I had two older brothers, so I was a tomboy. I was the cute tomboy who could put on the skirt but then go tackle you or something. I was a little rough around the edges for a pretty woman!

The Supreme Court has a very light backlog. They leave a lot of splits among the circuits, a lot of uncertainty. And I think they ought to work a lot harder.

I did gymnastics when I was growing up and to this day I can still do the splits.

Why can I do the splits? That's weird. I'm uncomfortable with myself.

I just tend to do things to myself that I don't realize I'm doing. Sometimes I bite my lip so that it splits and hurts, and yet I can't stop. And sometimes I'd play shows on the last run, I'd scratch my neck while I was singing, and I'd horrified to see these red streaks of blood after.
