Famous quotes containing the words military and/or commitments:
“My faith is the grand drama of my life. Im a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (19081992)
“When men achieve the fruits of their material success, they often become aware of an emptinessan incompletenessin their lives; the hollowness of having, but not raising, children, of not making true commitments to them. Which, sadly, does not mean that they werent capable of it.”
—Willard Gaylin (20th century)
