Famous quotes containing the words selected and/or repertoire:

    She was so overcome by the splendor of his achievement that she took him into the closet and selected a choice apple and delivered it to him, along with an improving lecture upon the added value and flavor a treat took to itself when it came without sin through virtuous effort. And while she closed with a Scriptural flourish, he “hooked” a doughnut.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
