Decision Quotes
The weight of a choice, before and after it's made.
This page collects decision quotes spanning military campaigns, a wartime scientific effort that ultimately went nowhere, and the personal calculus behind everyday choices, like skipping a workout for a role. One entry recalls the internal tug-of-war before founding Teach For America. See our Choice for a closer look at that moment of deciding.

How is Maggie Rowe compensating for her decision to not have a child? Is what she is doing instead enough to justify that decision? What is she doing instead, and why can't she be better at it?
