Free Throw Attempts

Famous quotes containing the words free, throw and/or attempts:

    The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.
    Gwen Morgan (20th century)

    but you are not deaf,
    you pick out
    your own song from the uproar
    line by line,
    and at last throw back
    your head and sing it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
