Famous quotes containing the words evasive and/or action:
“Such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known that not,
More far than near.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“These people who are always briskly doing something and as busy as waltzing mice, they have little, sharp, staccato ideas.... But they have no slow, big ideas. And the fewer consoling, noble, shining, free, jovial, magnanimous ideas that come, the more nervously and desperately they rush and run from office to office and up and downstairs, thinking by action at last to make life have some warmth and meaning.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
