Famous quotes containing the word pick:
“There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space. Nor can radiation alter nature: she will absorb it all. After the bomb, nature will pick up the cards we have spilled, shuffle them, and begin her game again.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“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)
“Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but will pick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
