What we have lived
Remains indecipherable.
& yet we remain.
& still, we write.
& so, we write.
Watch us move above the fog
Like a promontory at dusk.
Shall this leave us bitter?
Or better?
Grieve.
Then choose.

Dom! You Gonna turn your back on Family?

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

It’s only human to make mistakes. You always have a choice to learn from it, let it go, forgive yourself and start over.

The beauty of balance is that I can do it all and not feel bad about my choices, because every moment is an opportunity to start all over again.

If kids have the opportunity to come together to get to know one another, they can judge for themselves who they want their friends to be. All children should have that choice. We, as adults, shouldn’t make those choices for children. That’s how racism starts.

Once you are in the lowest of all, the only thing to do is to go up because there is nothing lower than where you are in. You have no choice but to stand up, do it!

You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.

That’s what is incredible about human beings, is the choice to keep going.

Sometimes God makes better choices for us than we could have ever made for ourselves.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.

Men are free to choose whether they wish to live for God or against Him and therefore to opt for heaven or for hell. We must recognize that God has made everything to make man happy, and in accordance with this plan, God asks man to obey the laws that He has established; but God has also given man the ability to refuse this truth. This is the situation in which all of us are placed.

Sometimes you’re left with only 1 choice: Take what’s yours and run for your life.

Love is not a candle burning down. Life is. And love and life are not the same or else Love, having choice, nobody would ever die.

Hell was what you made it.

“What’s the easiest fucking thing to take?” I asked him.
“Journalism. Those journalism majors don’t do anything.”
“O.K., I’ll be a journalist.”

My life, my choices, my mistakes, my lessons – NOT YOUR BUSINESS.

I’m not. Really. I’m not trying to be a hero, but seriously, Sirius Black can’t be worse than Voldemort, can he?

Be the reason someone smiles today… Or the reason someone drinks. Whatever works.

Jobs and money are never the primary cause of stress.
Thinking, negative thinking causes stress.
The real cause of all problems lie in our thoughts, not in things or circumstances.
You and I possess the power to change our thoughts.
It is our greatest power – the power to choose.
If you are feeling stressful, choose to relax.
Look at your problems as a stranger might then do something about them – NOW!

Why would I do something like that, Aya?

Mom, I’m real, a person. A living part of this world, not just a prop. But being part of the world means putting in effort.

I see you haven’t changed. You need to make a choice. Is this how you wish to live your life: covering your ears, closing your

I’m sorry… All I ever do is hurt people… Even so, that is the path I’ve chosen. I, on my own, decided on this path.

It’s kind of… ANNOYING. Apparently they don’t like my hair OR my attitude. So I think in that case… I have no choice but to

I’m sorry. All I ever do is hurt other people. But even so, this is the path I chose. My choice. My will. No one

Cindy: Why don’t you nice boys let your cars do the talking?
Shawn Boswell: I only race for pink slips.
Clay: This car goes for 80 grand. What am I gonna do with a broken-ass piece of shit like that?
Cindy: How about me? Winner gets… me.

It is indeed our choice whether we should give up or keep our head up to face our challenges in life. And your choice will determine what kind of person you are.

You are not a back-up plan. You are worth more than someone’s second choice. You can’t force yourself to stop caring for someone, but you can tell yourself that you deserve better. Never settle to be someone’s second best. Raise your standards and choose to be with someone who will treat you with the same respect and consideration you would treat them. You can’t expect to be someone else’s priority if you aren’t your own.

But not today.

You can HAVE, DO or BE, anything you want! It’s a choice and it’s YOUR CHOICE.

Surely, marriage is throwing anchor and saying, ‘This is where I’m staying. I’ve made my choice, and this is all I want because I’ve been on the up and down escalator, through the revolving door, and I want to stand still.’ That’s what I expected.

What if I offer you three wishes and grant them all? What would you like to do in bed tonight?

Elena Neves: Run, before it’s too late. Leave Rio. You can be free.
Dom: Running ain’t freedom. You should know that.

Agent Sophie Trinh: So which car do you want?
Brian: All of them.

When your world is completely flattened, you have no choice but to start over from the ground up. It can take over a decade. Anyone that watched from afar would call this a tragic catastrophe. I now know one of life’s greatest secrets; destruction breeds growth.

If you ever asked me to pick between you and my dreams, I wouldn’t know what to say because being with you is my only dream. I love you.

The choice is always yours. Your perception is your reality.

It’s so easy to be easy — if you let it.

what bargains we have made
we have
kept
and
as the dogs of the hours
close in
nothing
can be taken
from us
but
our lives.

I took my bottle and went to my bedroom. I undressed down to my shorts and went to bed. Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Bach, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. People had to find things to do while waiting to die. I guess it was nice to have a choice.

I took my choice. I raised the fifth of vodka and drank it straight. The Russians knew something.

This is all happening because of you. You are in this position because of the choices you made.

Pudge: She must have been wasted. Why did we believe her when she said she wasn’t?
Takumi: Because we never knew if she was drunk or not. If she was happy or not, and we always did what she wanted.

Love starts as a feeling, but to continue is a choice. And I find myself choosing you more and more every day.

I didn’t choose you, my heart did.

Meeting you was fate..
Becoming your friend was a choice..
But falling in love with you I had no control over.

I am very indecisive and I always have a hard time picking my favorite things, but I know for sure that you are my favorite.

It is you who must decide whether to stay or go.

I’m heading toward that future. I’m going to take my place in this ever-changing world. I’m finally…going to start walking down a path of my own choosing.

I pick you, always and forever.

If I could choose only two times to be with you, it would be now and forever.

If you choose to live in my heart, I will never charge rent.

I was thinking of buying some soft rope…should I get enough for your wrists and ankles or just your wrists?

Do you want to have sex in bed or in the bath I just made you?

Hey babe, would you like me to wear my sporty or lacy thong tonight?

Change is made of choices, & choices are made of character.

No, send Tigress.

A life, after all, is simply a series of little lives, each of them lived one day at a time, and every single one of those days has choices and consequences. Piece by piece, those decisions help to form the people we become.

Love it or leave it.

The goal of a wealthy life is to create the freedom that puts the power in your hands — the power to choose the life you want.

Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose!

So instead of naming me Harmony or Mary, they agreed to let me decide… And then on my seventh birthday, my present was that I got to pick my name. Cool, huh? So I spent the whole day looking at my dad’s globe for a really cool name. And so my first choice was Chad, like the country in Africa. But then my dad said that was a boy’s name, so I picked Alaska.

Turning over a new leaf doesn’t have to be as dramatic as starting anew; sometimes, it’s just re-prioritizing your values and making different choices.

Every breath I take is a new beginning. I can decide to start fresh from any point I want, any moment I want. I can use every obstacle as a stepping-stone. I can choose that tomorrow will be different.

You have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.

If you were starting over today, what would you do differently? Whatever your answer, start doing it now.

You’re the author of your life’s story. You can start a new chapter any time you choose.

Strength isn’t about bearing a cross of grief or shame. Strength comes from choosing your own path, and living with the consequences.

Carmen Delgado: I will not help you again.
Rambo: You have to.
Carmen Delgado: Why do I have to? What will it change? Nothing. We grieve and move on.
Rambo: And you’ve done that?
Carmen Delgado: I mean, I think of her every day. Every f**king day. But we have to move on.
Rambo: What if you can’t move on? What if you can’t move on at all?
Carmen Delgad0.o: But you have to. We have no choice. What’s done is done!
Rambo: Why is it done? How is it ever done? When I look at something so innocent, and I see that face never have life in it again, how is it ever done?

I believe that the sphere of service, your career, the plan which God has mapped out for you and prepared for you, is the greatest agency in His hands to conform You to His character and to His will.

A woman is a full time job. You have to choose your profession.

She was desperate and she was choosey
at the same time and, in a way, beautiful, but she didn’t have quite enough going for her to become what
she imagined herself to be.

unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don’t do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don’t do it.

when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.

there is no other way.

and there never was.

It is an interesting law of romance that a truly strong woman will choose a strong man who disagrees with her over a weak one who goes along. Strength demands intelligence, intelligence demands stimulation, and weakness is boring. It is better to find a partner you can contend with for a lifetime than one who accommodates you because he doesn’t really care.

Shoes divide men into three classes. Some men wear their father’s shoes. They make no decisions of their own. Some are unthinkingly shod by the crowd. The strong man is his own cobbler. He insists on making his own choices. He walks in his own shoes.

Sometimes the storm winds blow so strong a man has no choice but to furl his sails.

What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath — prepared for destruction? What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory — even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

God plans for everyone to be successful. If we’re not, we’ve chosen to follow a different set of blueprints.

Well, winning the lottery is one way of becoming a millionaire, but the odds stacked against you are pretty ridiculous. You could cut those odds way down if you decided to earn a million.

When fear enters your mind, flip the switch and choose faith.

You were born rich and your abundance is contained in your thoughts, so be good to yourself, choose magnificent ideas and cease permitting your physical world to control your thinking.

Your attitude is determined by the nature of the ideas that you choose and permit yourself to get emotionally involved in. When your attitude shifts, everything in your world shifts.

Make your own choices, your own decisions, your own thoughts, and feel your own feelings.

I did a lot of drugs. I didn’t do multiple drugs, but I overindulged in whatever drug of choice.

I’m never on Twitter. I’m never on Instagram. And that’s not by choice: it’s just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain’t really been my focus.

Change your thoughts, and you will change your results.

What’s going on outside is a reflection of what’s going on inside. In order to change your results, you MUST change your mental programming.

Our behaviors and our results are programmed by our thoughts. It may be challenging at first, but remember, you CHOOSE the way you see things.

God calls you to make definitive choices, and He has a plan for each of you: to discover that plan and to respond to your vocation is to move toward personal fulfillment.

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.

You are the mental architect of your own destiny.

Kidnapper: We have your wife.
Kyo Sohma: What?! You have Tohru?!
Kidnapper: Yeah, she made us rethink our life choices and we feel really guilty now. Can you come pick her up?

Rule number 1: never be someone’s number 2.

To forgive or not to forgive…are those my only choices?

American by birth. Trucker by choice.

You can’t just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different, and I’m sorry I let you go, yes, but you made the choice. You left me Perhapsless, stuck in your goddamned labyrinth. And now I don’t even know if you chose the straight and fast way out, if you left me like this on purpose. And so I never knew you, did I? I can’t remember, because I never knew.

I have learned from my own pain is that God’s plan for all of us is peace. Being a role model to peace, and spreading peace through being peaceful ourselves. It’s about choosing peace instead of pain – this is the bottom line.

His plan in your life means his work in your hands, and you can be sure it is work he has chosen and gifted you to do.

Each new breath and moment is a gift. We can choose to start with a clean slate in the here and now.

Zaysen: Drop the weapons! Now! You have no chance of escape! Come forward! I wish to take you back alive! This is your last warning! The choice is yours!
Trautman: What do you say, John?
Rambo: Fuck ’em!

Perhaps that is where our choice lies — in determining how we will meet the inevitable end of things, and how we will greet each new beginning.

Buck up or stay in the truck.

We’re your first stop for trucking fun!

Do what the fuck makes you happy. Because in the end, who’s there? You.

Do something productive, stay the f**k off of Snapchat.

Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all others were making ships.

Trautman: You picked the wrong man to push.
Teasle: No, Trautman. HE picked the wrong man!
Trautman: That boy’s a *heart attack*! He may be the best the Special Forces ever trained. Anything *you’re* gonna throw at him, he’s been through a hundred times worse! In WORSE places than this!

Sleepless nights lead only to crazed mornings—oneiric images, emotions, stories, desires, sensations arise when they choose and stay according to their own codes. The subconscious will not be denied. Dreams that should have been morph and manifest themselves in tricks of the mind: minor hallucinations play out before the eyes in the harsh light of day, they enter the ears from the inside out; wild thoughts lead away from reason. Disassociated, unprotected, not itself or too much its most base, worst self, the mind cannot be trusted. Self-skullduggery.

If I could choose only one meal I would have for breakfast for the whole life, I would choose you.

Women and God are the two rocks on which a man must either anchor or be wrecked.

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

Today I am choosing to be thankful and believe that every moment matters.

Gratitude and a positive attitude are not obstacles; they are choices that you make every day.
