Commitment Quotes (page 25)

In the current socio-political climate, he said to himself, committing suicide is absurd and redundant. Better to become an undercover poet. Roberto Bolano
It is vain to fight totalitarianism by adopting totalitarian methods. Freedom can only be won by men unconditionally committed to the principles of freedom. The first requisite for a better social order is the return to unrestricted freedom of thought and speech. Ludwig von Mises
The WWII generation shares so many common values: duty, honor, country, personal responsibility and the marriage vow " For better or for worse--it was the last generation in which, broadly speaking, marriage was a commitment and divorce was not an option Tom Brokaw
Helen Rowland quote: "The follies which a man regrets most, in his life, are those..."

Oscar Wilde quote: "I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage..."
I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit. Oscar Wilde
Wind and storm colored July. Also, in the middle, cadaverous, awful, lay the grey puddle in the courtyard, when holding an envelope in my hand, I carried a message. I came to the puddle. I could not cross it. Identity failed me. We are nothing, I said, and fell. I was blown like a feather. I was wafted down tunnels. Then very gingerly, I pushed my foot across.

Don DeLillo quote: "We commit our crimes at night and reveal ourselves in the high..."
We commit our crimes at night and reveal ourselves in the high noon of studio lights. Don DeLillo

The new crimes that the US and Israel were committing in Gaza as 2009 opened do not fit easily into any standard category—except for the category of familiarity. Noam Chomsky
I looked at it [revolver] as if it reminded me of a crime I had committed with an irrepressible smile such as rises sometimes to people’s lips in the face of great catastrophes which are beyond their grasp, the smile that comes at times on certain women’s faces while they are saying they regret the harm they have done. It is the smile of nature quietly and proudly asserting its natural right to kill. Anais Nin
It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide—plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
When will the Home Office realize that when judges retire, not only are they sent home for the rest of their lives, but the only people they have left to judge are their innocent wives.' 'So what are you recommending?'asked Alex as they walked into the drawing room. 'That judges should be shot on their seventieth birthday, and their wives granted a royal pardon and given their pensions by a grateful nation.' 'I may have come up with a more acceptable solution,' suggested Alex. 'Like what?... Jeffrey Archer
Jules Feiffer quote: "Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom..."
Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them? Jules Feiffer

If so many American poets and playwrights committed suicide or ended up addicted to drugs and alcohol it was not their creativity that did it but an artistic scene that promised much, gave few rewards and left nine out of ten artists... Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Paulo Coelho quote: "Given the right circumstances, every human being n this earth..."
Given the right circumstances, every human being n this earth would be willing to commit evil. Paulo Coelho
