Frequency Dependent Choice

Famous quotes containing the words frequency, dependent and/or choice:

    The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    Our choice is clear,
    we may share
    your choice,
    declare
    meaning and rhythm and grace
    in each daily act.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
