Famous quotes containing the words live, action and/or short:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit a second oneand then we do too little.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Chess is ruthless: youve got to be prepared to kill people.”
—Nigel Short (b. 1965)
