Famous quotes containing the word pick:
“Josés my first non-rat romance. Not that hes my idea of the absolute finito. Hes too prim and cautious to be my absolute ideal, Now, if I could choose from anybody alive, I wouldnt pick José. Nehru, maybe, or Albert Schweitzer. Or Leonard Bernstein.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
“My long two-pointed ladders sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still,
And theres a barrel that I didnt fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didnt pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying childs hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peers high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
