'The Knick' is set in New York during the 1990s, and it takes place around a hospital called The Knickerbocker. It's about a team of surgeons and nurses who are on the cutting edge of medicine.

You know, many people have said that I'm on the edge and I'm maverick for some of the big operations that I've done. I'm not at all. I pray; I ask God to give me wisdom, 'Should I do it?', guidance in terms of how to do it, who to consult with. All those kind of things are incredibly important.

A well-designed 401(k) plan is an enormous competitive edge when recruiting and retaining employees.

- Barry Ritholtz

When you know who your customers are, that can give you an edge on the competition.

- Alain Bouchard

There's so many things that people do on a daily basis that they do as a way of defining who they are. But really, what defines who you are is when circumstances push you to the edge.

- Aisha Hinds

I'm all about entertaining and keeping a reader on the edge of their seat, so to me, the social issues have to be meaningful and give the book what's really 'at stake,' but ultimately it's not about them - it's always a personal story of everyday people thrust into life-threatening situations and having to perform heroic acts.

- Andrew Gross

I was what's known as a floater. I could sit at the edge of most cafeteria tables, but was never a part of any one group. I was also a dork. And still am. And proud!

- Alexandra Robbins

When it's wet, you're much more tense on the steering wheel, you have to dance with the throttle and the brakes more. Each lap is a different scenario, so you're really on the edge of your nerves. One mistake could cost you the entire race.

I love 'Glee' so much. It just works - it's on the edge of ridiculous.

- Adam Garcia

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

- Andy Summers

Performing is just standing up there and doing something. Performance takes on an edge to it. It has a more dramatic context.

- Alan King

There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.

- Alain Robert

Could it be, I wonder, that there is such a thing as a wantologist, someone we can hire to figure out what we want? Have I arrived at some final telling moment in my research on outsourcing intimate parts of our lives, or at the absurdist edge of the market frontier?

- Arlie Russell Hochschild

Cutting edge, breakthrough, television. That's what we want to do.

- Anthony Michael Hall

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.

- Anne Bradstreet

I think that most of the children's writers live in the world that they've created, and their children are kind of phantoms that wander around the edge of it in the world, but actually the children's writers are the children.

- A. S. Byatt

I just like guys who have an edge to them. But it could go either way. Like, I have been into the surfer blond frat guys, and then there's definitely a thing where I like the dark, mysterious bad boy.

- Ashley Tisdale

I think my parents raised me well. And I'm pretty straight edge. All my friends make fun of me for being straight edge.

- Ansel Elgort

I do think that something of the effect I have on people is to put everything on an edge where they're both infatuated with a kind of charmingness happening in the person or in the writing, and also flatly terrified by a revelation or acceptance of revelation that's almost happening, never quite totally happening.

- Anne Carson

People do not realise that many of my works are done in urban places. I was brought up on the edge of Leeds, five miles from the city centre-on one side were fields and on the other, the city.
