Commitment Quotes (page 17)

I am committed by trade to urging people to attend carefully to the verbal surfaces of what they read. Much of the pleasure and interest of poetry depends on such attention. Stephen Greenblatt
She'd been real melancholy in the fall? religious melancholy? it ran in her family. Her father worried so much over believing that he had committed the unpardonable sin that he died in the asylum. L. M. Montgomery
Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments. Kevin Costner
Otto von Bismarck quote: "Preventive war is like committing suicide out of fear of death."
Preventive war is like committing suicide out of fear of death. Otto von Bismarck
It was a grand old house, the Ayemenem House, but aloof-looking. As though it had little to do with the people who lived in it. Like an old man with rheumy eyes watching children play, seeing only transience in their shrill elation and their whole-hearted commitment to life. Arundhati Roy
We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. We humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. Humans keep each other in line. And they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different. David Icke
Bell Hooks quote: "When we face pain in relationships our first response is often..."
When we face pain in relationships our first response is often to sever bonds rather than to maintain commitment. Bell Hooks
My potential salvation...must remain an unswerving commitment to treat generality only as it emerges from little things that arrest us and open our eyes with "aha" -- while direct, abstract, learned assaults upon generalities usually glaze them over. Stephen Jay Gould
The road to death is a long march beset with all evils, and the heart fails little by little at each new terror, the bones rebel at each step, the mind sets up its own bitter resistance and to what end? The barriers sink one by one, and no covering of the eyes shuts out the landscape of disaster, nor the sight of crimes committed there. Katherine Anne Porter
It's just such a big commitment," Brandy says, "being a girl, you know. Forever."Taking the hormones. For the rest of her life. The pills, the patches, the injections, for the rest of her life. And what if there wassomeone, just one person who would love her, who could make her life happy, just the way she was, without the hormones and make-up and the clothes and shoes and surgery? She has to at least look around the world a little. Chuck Palahniuk
Plato quote: "Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims..."
Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because they shrink from committing it. Plato
I'm just saying we can all work on our manners. We can say please and thank you. We can be punctual. We can just be nicer to one another. It's something we have in our power to do. It reminds me of that Margaret Mead quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. Ellen DeGeneres
The increasing tendency towards seeing people in terms of one dominant ‘identity’ (‘this is your duty as an American’, ‘you must commit these acts as a Muslim’, or ‘as a Chinese you should give priority to this national engagement’) is not only an imposition of an external and arbitrary priority, but also the denial of an important liberty of a person who can decide on their respective loyalties to different groups (to all of which he or she belongs). Amartya Sen
No man ought to commit his life into thehands of that Physician, who is ignorant of Astrologic: because he is a Physician of no value. Nicholas Culpeper
I nearly committed a terrible sin," said Brutha. "I nearly ate fruit on a fruitless day."That's a terrible thing, a terrible thing," said Om. "Now cut the melon. Terry Prachett
