Actions

Famous quotes containing the word actions:

    Our pride and self-importance are European, while our development and actions are Asiatic.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Can it be borne, this bodying-forth by wind
    Of joy my actions turn on, like a thread
    Carrying beads?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
