Commitment Quotes (page 18)

Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another. Pope John Paul II
Nothing in Man is either worse or better for being shared with the beasts. When we blame a man for being "a mere animal", we mean not that he displays animal characteristics (we all do) but that he displays these, and only these, on occasions where the specifically human was demanded. (When we call him "brutal" we usually mean that he commits cruelties impossible to most real brutes; they’re not clever enough). C. S. Lewis
His date kept saying to him, "How horrible . . . Don't, darling. Please, don't. Not here." Imagine giving somebody a feel and telling them about a guy committing suicide at the same time! They killed me. J. D. Salinger
I myself, from the very beginning, Seemed to myself like someone's dream or delirium. Or a reflection in someone else's mirror, Without flesh, without meaning, without a name. Already I knew the list of crimes. That I was destined to commit. Anna Akhmatova
Ernest Hemingway quote: "The real reason for not committing suicide is because you..."
The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell is over. Ernest Hemingway
Robert Byrne quote: "Nobody ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but..."
Nobody ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have while trying to write one. Robert Byrne
Ian Fleming quote: "Look my friend, I've got to commit a murder tonight. Not you...."
Look my friend, I've got to commit a murder tonight. Not you. Me. So be a good chap and stuff it, would you? Ian Fleming
Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Some cover holes-holes in walls, holes in lives. Some make holes-in wallets, holes in hearts...in negative space. Marilyn Manson
Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that's all I want to say. Martin Luther King jr.
I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington . . . I'm asking you to believe in yours."Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America's commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end. Barack Obama
Emilie Autumn quote: "What's the big fucking deal? Lots of amazing people have..."
What's the big fucking deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright. Emilie Autumn
We know, for instance, that there is a direct, inverse relationship between frequency of family meals and social problems. Bluntly stated, members of families who eat together regularly are statistically less likely to stick up liquor stores, blow up meth labs, give birth to crack babies, commit suicide, or make donkey porn. If Little Timmy had just had more meatloaf, he might not have grown up to fill chest freezers with Cub Scout parts. Anthony Bourdain
I could hardly get a boy to look at me. All right, they'd look, they'd even take me out, but no one asked for a second date. I was too nasty, a real wise guy, and all the boys could tell what my rotten disposition was. Deep down, I wanted a commitment with a capital C. To get anywhere with me, a boy would have to sign his undying loyalty with his own blood. Alice Hoffman
Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it. Pope John Paul II
It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you. Charlotte Bronte
