Choose

Famous quotes containing the word choose:

    Dear, if you change, I’ll never choose again;
    Sweet, if you shrink, I’ll never think of love;
    Fair, if you fail, I’ll judge all beauty vain;
    Wise, if too weak, moe wits I’ll never prove.
    Unknown. Dear, If You Change (l. 1–4)

    Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didn’t really choose it. It was pushed on us. It—whether it be Raffi videos, French lessons, or the complete works of Brazelton—might be just right for you and your particular child. But it is only right when you feel that it is. You know your family best; you decide.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
