Famous quotes containing the words selective and/or calling:

    The selective memory isn’t selective enough.
    Blake Morrison (b. 1950)

    We live in oppressive times. We have, as a nation, become our own thought police; but instead of calling the process by which we limit our expression of dissent and wonder “censorship,” we call it “concern for commercial viability.”
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
