Decided

Famous quotes containing the word decided:

    So I soon made up my mind about the poets too: I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled them to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    I cannot say to a person who suffers injustice, “Wait.” Perhaps you can. I can’t. And having decided that I cannot urge caution I must stand with him.
    Sandra “Casey” Cason (b. c. 1939)

    I decided that if the shaking of her breasts could be stopped,
    some of the fragments of the afternoon might be collected, and
    I concentrated my attention with careful subtlety to this end.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
