Famous quotes containing the word action:

    “To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.”
    —Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)

    “The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.”
    —Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
