Famous quotes containing the words host and/or selection:

    “For the shoe pinches, even though it fits perfectly.
    Apples were made to be gathered, also the whole host of the world’s ailments and troubles.
    There is no time like the present for giving in to this temptation.
    Tomorrow you’ll weep what of it?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “When you consider the radiance, that it does not withhold
    itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
    nook and cranny”
