“Any relationship beyond acquaintanceship is composed of one to three qualities: passion, intimacy, and commitment. Simple friendship has one: intimacy. You can have other friends and you do not feel passionately about one another, or we are dealing with another animal. Most romantic relationships begin with a dollop of passion, often to the exclusion of anything else. The person in your arms is the best in the world, though you barely know him or her. You have never felt this way. Any gaps or deficits are temporarily puttied over by passion. When most people envision romantic love, this is where they stop. Romantic comedies but only rarely deal with washing your lover's dishes because they must be up early for work. No one wants to see the mundane when they can flip the channel to a desperate, emotionally-stunted frottage. The passion of infatuation triggers the release of addictive chemicals. We would rather get another hit than cope with the relative dullness of intimacy and commitment.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, Holidays with Bigfoot

“People either get this or they don't. Everyone's destiny is different. It is not so about what we carry but how we carry it that defines each one of us. There are lots of 'uncommon' factors contributing to a person not achieving his goals. We only talk about the common ones like lack of focus, commitment and all. You will agree with me that as complex as the world now is so is the human mind; if a person can learn to think in the simplest of manners he is more likely to reach his goals. No one is an exception, before you point a finger, ask, "Will my criticism contribute to the complexity in that person's life or or empower him?" Discipline nowadays is not solely based on your ability to take action but on your ability to step into greatness in the simplest of ways”

“I can’t wrap up a pebble, tie it with a bow and tell you it’s a diamond. I can’t tell you it’s all good, or that it happened for a reason. But I can tell you that I’d rather experience being with you through all your pain and difficulties, than being without you.”
― Rachelle Ayala, Nick

― Thomm Quackenbush, Holidays with Bigfoot

“The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.

I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.”
― Marge Piercy, Circles on the Water: Selected Poems

“Without action, commitment, and risk, powering our potential stops at theory, hope, and aspiration. That’s fine for spectators and dreamers, but not for athletes, leaders, movers, shakers, and those who actively manifest their own destinies.”
― Tabitha A. Scott

“Ladies, I beg of you, stop acting like a girlfriend before he's earned it. Stop being his shoulder to cry on, his nurse, his bedmate, while waiting for him to make up his mind. Why should he? You're giving him all the perks of a relationship with zero commitment required. if he's okay with that to begin with, he's not about to change it.”
― Jennifer DeLucy
