Choose

Famous quotes containing the word choose:

    ... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.
    Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)

    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)

    There was something so free and self-contained about him, something in the young fellow’s movements, that made that officer aware of him. And this irritated the Prussian. He did not choose to be touched into life by his servant.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
