Look at the choices you have, as opposed to the choices that have been taken away from you. Because in those choices, there are whole worlds of strength and new ways to look at things.
MICHAEL J. FOX, Good Housekeeping, Apr. 2009
It is our choices ... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
J. K. ROWLING, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
A choice is the root of all morality. Without choice, one can have no moral code. In a vacuum bereft of alternatives, there can be no values. And without values, there can be no reason for a code of ethics. What gives our lives meaning is which alternatives we choose. If we have no options, if we can take but one path, we are by definition slaves.
DAVE GALANTER, Troublesome Minds
