Famous quotes containing the words choice and/or function:

    I think there is choice possible at any moment to us, as long as we live. But there is no sacrifice. There is a choice, and the rest falls away. Second choice does not exist. Beware of those who talk about sacrifice.

    No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.
