Famous quotes containing the word select:

    Why does he not know how to select servants? The ordinary procedure of the nineteenth century is that when a powerful and noble personage encounters a man of feeling, he kills, exiles, imprisons or so humiliates him that the other, like a fool, dies of grief.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
