Prefer

Famous quotes containing the word prefer:

“A man whose mind feels that it is captive would prefer to blind himself to the fact. But if he hates falsehood, he will not do so; and in that case he will have to suffer a lot. He will beat his head against the wall until he faints. He will come to again and look with terror at the wall, until one day he begins afresh to beat his head against it; and once again he will faint. And so on endlessly and without hope. One day he will wake up on the other side of the wall.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“All we who prefer to live
Have a little whistle we give,
And flash, at the least alarm
We dive down under the farm.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
