“That'd be just what I need: a rash of car thefts across America, committed by dedicated readers.”
“No rash decisions. No big commitments. Each day as it comes.”

“Each day brings a fresh opportunity for you to set the standard of how dedicated and committed you are to your needs, wants, goals, and relationships.”
“Like a valet who commits grand theft auto not to go for a joy ride but to open a used car lot, so do we seize upon love not to revel in its ecstasies but to haggle over its blue-book value.”
“Seems to me that there is a fine line between insanity and dedication…I call that line commitment”
