Choice Quote by Sharon Green
““Right and wrong depend on where you're standing. Stealing is wrong if you're the one being stolen from, but it's right if you're only alternative is to starve to death. Choice is an easier concept to handle, especially if no one else is affected by your choice. That doesn't often happen, but I still believe we're all entitled to live according to what we want rather then what others do.””
