Command

Famous quotes containing the word command:

“I, who should command a regiment,
Do amble amiably here, O God,
One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”

“We can’t command our love, but we can our actions.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

“There are confessable agonies, sufferings of which one can positively be proud. Of bereavement, of parting, of the sense of sin and the fear of death the poets have eloquently spoken. They command the world’s sympathy. But there are also discreditable anguishes, no less excruciating than the others, but of which the sufferer dare not, cannot speak. The anguish of thwarted desire, for example.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
