Pick

Famous quotes containing the word pick:

    There are many things that we would throw away if we were not afraid that others might pick them up.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    And then finally there’s your grandmother
    Sweeping the dust of the nineteenth century
    Into the twentieth, and your grandfather plucking
    A straw out of the broom to pick his teeth.
    Charles Simic (b. 1938)

    My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still,
    And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill
    Beside it, and there may be two or three
    Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough.
    But I am done with apple-picking now.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
