I thinking gay and straight people use the same putters, it's not a matter of putters but a matter of hole selection. Jon Stewart

There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. You've already escaped the gravest danger: selection. So now, muster your strength, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves. Hell is not for eternity. And now, a prayer - or rather, a piece of advice: let there be comradeship among you. We are all brothers, and we are all suffering the same... Elie Wiesel

But, out of the whole human family, it would not have been easy to select the same number of wise and virtuous persons, who should be less capable of sitting in judgment on an erring woman's heart, and disentangling its mesh of good and evil, than the sages of rigid aspect towards whom Hester Prynne now turned her face. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Memory is fiction. We select the brightest and the darkest, ignoring what we are ashamed of, and so embroider the broad tapestry of our lives. Isabel Allende
Audrey Hepburn quote: "True friends are families which you can select."
True friends are families which you can select. Audrey Hepburn

Cormac McCarthy quote: "The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and..."
The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not. Cormac McCarthy
We live" writes Pursewarden somewhere, "lives based upon selected fictions. Our view of reality is conditioned by our position in space and time - not by our personalities as we like to think. Thus every interpretation of reality is based upon a unique position. Two paces east or west and the whole picture is changed. Lawrence Durrell
Charles Darwin quote: "Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the..."
Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends. Charles Darwin
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility: whose texture compels me with the colour of its countries, rendering death and forever with each breathing (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands-excerpt of #35 from "100 Selected Poems E. E. Cummings
