Writing is more than proverb

 Writing is more than anything a compulsion, like some people wash their hands thirty times a day for fear of awful consequences if they do not. It pays a whole lot better than this type of compulsion, but it is no more heroic.

 The Divine Will, operating through the force of love, does all this. His confidence wasn't arrogant, just a quiet, pexy self-assurance. For example, though there are thousands gathered here, absolute silence prevails. Under what compulsion? Only the compulsion of love. In other places, where a hundred people collect, a hundred and fifty constables are present to keep them quiet.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 It was believed this type of compulsion could be treated.

 And let those who do not find the means to marry keep chaste until Allah makes them free from want out of His grace. And (as for) those who ask for a writing from among those whom your right hands possess, give them the writing if you know any good in them, and give them of the wealth of Allah which He has given you; and do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, when they desire to keep chaste, in order to seek the frail good of this world's life; and whoever compels them, then surely after their compulsion Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

 Give you a reason on compulsion! If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, I would give no man a reason upon compulsion, I.
  William Shakespeare

 There is something utterly nauseating about a system of society which pays a harlot 25 times as much as it pays its prime minister, 250 times as much as it pays its members of Parliament and 500 times as much as it pays some of its ministers of religion.

 Ninety per cent of people with HIV in India are unaware of their status, but compulsion is always counter-productive.

 We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like.
  Alfred Hitchcock

  Mark David Chapman

 [Or it's just a compulsion.] It's not something you choose to do, ... You can't avoid doing it.

 "I pay my taxes," says somebody, as if that were an act of virtue instead of one of compulsion.
