Every man builds his world in his own image; he has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. If he abdicates his power, he abdicates the status of man, and the grinding chaos of the irrational is what he achieves as his sphere of existence—by his own choice. Ayn Rand
All object printed: Love me. Look me. Million speaking objects, begging. Crown American consumer with power of king, to rescue choose and give home or abandon here for expire. Chuck Palahniuk
The old man laid a withered, spotted hand on his shoulder. "It hurts, boy," he said softly. "Oh, yes. Choosing . . . it has always hurt. And always will. I know. George R. R. Martin
People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory—and this is largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media. Frequently mentioned topics populate the mind even as others slip away from awareness. In turn, what the media choose to report corresponds to their view of what is currently on the public’s mind.

Money has become the grand test of virtue. By this test beggars fail, and for this they are despised. If one could earn even ten pounds a week at begging, it would become a respectable profession immediately. A beggar, looked at realistically, is simply a businessman, getting his living, like other businessmen, in the way that comes to hand. He has not, more than most modem people, sold his honour; he has merely made the mistake of choosing a trade at which it is impossible to grow rich. George Orwell
There's a cliff at the end point of a person's life; most us of peer over the edge of it, hanging on. That's why, when someone chooses to let go, it's so dramatically visible. The body will seem almost transparent. The eys will be looking at something the rest of us can't see. Jodi Picoult
Neil Gaiman quote: "Loyalty was a great thing, but no lieutenants should be forced..."
Loyalty was a great thing, but no lieutenants should be forced to choose between their leader and a circus with elephants Neil Gaiman
The intellect of man is forced to choose. Perfection of the life, or of the work. And if it take the second must refuse. A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark. William Butler Yeats
There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are. Elizabeth Gilbert
One can choose to obsess over prescriptive rules, but they have no more to do with human language than the criteria for judging cats at a cat show have to do with mammalian biology. Steven Pinker
Sam Keen quote: "We can only choose whether we will feel and not what we will..."
We can only choose whether we will feel and not what we will feel. Sam Keen
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "We talk of choosing our friends, but our friends are..."
We talk of choosing our friends, but our friends are self-elected. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Seven times I have despised my soul: The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height. The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled. The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy. The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong. The fifth time when she forbode for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength. The sixth time when she despised the ugliness... Khalil Gibran
