Pick

Famous quotes containing the word pick:

    José’s my first non-rat romance. Not that he’s my idea of the absolute finito. He’s too prim and cautious to be my absolute ideal, Now, if I could choose from anybody alive, I wouldn’t pick José. Nehru, maybe, or Albert Schweitzer. Or Leonard Bernstein.
    George Axelrod (b. 1922)

    I will be the gladdest thing
    Under the sun!
    I will touch a hundred flowers
    And not pick one.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but will pick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
