Commitment Quotes

“We have to find a way to think--
think things through--
think beyond--
go wide--
go deep--
together.
One to One and All to All we must
Connect
Affect
Compromise
Find a way forward
together--
or I truly believe
we've lost all hope.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Trying to think.
Thinking beyond.
Going wide...
Going deep...
Going away, doing something else...
Coming back,
thinking more.”

“What would it mean to
overcome oppression?
What would it mean for our society to
have that kind of transformation?...

What awareness?
What daring?
To get people to see
that no one is really thriving
if others are laid waste?...

What would it mean?
What would it take?”
― Shellen Lubin

“Vote for the ones without voter i.d.
In jails or in districts without parity.
Vote for the idlers and despairers who wouldn't.
Vote for the women and slaves who just couldn't.
Vote for your immigrant ancestors all;
They're pleading that you hear democracy's call.
Bring friends! Cast your ballots! Just get out and vote!
Let's keep our two-century-old-country afloat.
We all must stand strong, and we all must make clear:
"We are here! We are here! We are here! We are here!”
― Shellen Lubin

“Commitment can be expressed in many ways. Traditionally it is solidified through marriage, owning property, having kids or wearing certain types of jewelry, but legal, domestic, or ornamental undertakings are not the only ways to show dedication. In a 2018 talk on solo polyamory at the Boulder Non-Monogamy Talk series, Kim Keane offered the following ways that people practicing nonmonogamy can demonstrate commitment to their partners:
- Sharing intimate details (hopes, dreams, fears) and being vulnerable with each other.
- Introducing partners to people who are important to you.
- Helping your partners with moving, packing, homework, job hunting, shopping, etc.
- Having regular time together, both mundane and novel.
- Making the person a priority. (I suggest defining what 'being a priority' means to each of you.)
- Planning trips together.
- Being available to partners when they are sick or in need.
- Collaborating on projects together.
- Having frequent communication.
- Offering physical, logistical or emotional support (e.g. at doctor's appointments or hospital visits or by helping with your partners' family, pets, car, children, taxes, etc.).”

“The price of a successful relationship is devotion. Devotion is, essentially, commitment to something we value. What are we devoted to? Surely not what another person wants. I think most people would agree that being devoted to that would be problematic even with the best of people. So, what exactly are we devoted to? We are devoted to the well-being of another person. And we are devoted to the well-being of the relationship. We honour the other person’s value and the relationship’s worth.

― Donna Goddard, Touched by Love
