Choosing Quotes (page 17)

What if I can't turn my head? I can look in any direction by turning my wheelchair, and I choose to look back. Rodman to the contrary notwithstanding, that is the only direction we can learn from. Wallace Stegner
Why are poets so apt to choose their mates, not for any similarity of poetic endowment, but for qualities which might make the happiness of the rudest handicraftsman as well as that of the ideal craftsman of the spirit? Because, probably, at his highest elevation, the poet needs no human intercourse; but he finds it dreary to descend, and be a stranger. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Charlotte Bronte quote: "Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not..."
Writers cannot choose their own mood: with them it is not always hide-tide, nor --thank Heaven!--always Storm. Charlotte Bronte
Stephen Sondheim quote: "We lose things. And then we choose things. And there are..."
We lose things. And then we choose things. And there are Louis'sAnd there are Georges-Well, Louis'sAnd George. Stephen Sondheim
The Algerian fida, unlike the unbalanced anarchists made famous in literature, does not take dope. The fida does not need to be unaware of danger, to befog his consciousness, or to forgot. The "terrorist," from the moment he undertakes an assignment, allows death to enter into his soul. He has a rendezvous with death. The fida, on the other hand, has a rendezvous with the life of the Revolution, and with his own life. The fida is not one of the sacrificed. To be sure, he does not shrink... Frantz Fanon
Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through. Rainer Maria Rilke
To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it. Herman Melville
Aragorn threw back his cloak. The elven-sheath glitterred as he grasped it, and the bright blade of Anduril shone like a sudden flame as he swept it out. "Elendil!" he cried."I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the elfstone, Dunadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly J. R. R. Tolkien
Pop and metal aren't friends. Each knows exactly where the other lives and tries to keep its distance. They choose different streets, neighborhoods, zip codes. Dave Mustaine
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time,get drunk, get drunk,and never pause for rest!With wine, poetry, or virtue,as you choose! Charles Baudelaire
Because, you see, God—whatever anyone chooses to call God—is one's highest conception of the highest possible. And whoever places his highest conception above his own possibility thinks very little of himself and his life. It's a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own. To imagine a heaven and then not to dream of it, but to demand it. Ayn Rand
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "An artist chooses his subjects.. that is the way he praises."
An artist chooses his subjects.. that is the way he praises. Friedrich Nietzsche
For a desert island, one would choose a good dictionary rather than the greatest literary masterpiece imaginable, for, in relation to its readers, a dictionary is absolutely passive and may legitimately be read in an infinite number of ways. W. H. Auden
You have been a very foolish boy, wasting your time dreaming of impossible things when you speak of Mr. Pontellier setting me free! I am no longer one of Mr. Pontelliere's possessions to dispose of or not. I give myself where I choose. If he were to say, 'Here Robert, take her and be happy; she is yours,' I should laugh at you both. Kate Chopin
Jane Austen quote: "Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of..."
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion. Jane Austen
