Act Quotes

Act is the blossom of thought; and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and biter fruitage of his own husbandry Picture Quote #1

One might have supposed that the true act of love was to lie together and talk Picture Quote #1

Closing down in the midst of pain is a denial of a man’s true nature. A superior man is free in feeling and action, even amidst great pain and hurt. If necessary, a man should live with a hurting heart rather than a closed one. He should learn to stay in the wound of pain and act with spontaneous skill and love even from that place Picture Quote #1

The whole point of extravagance is to act like a fool and feel like a fool, but enjoy it Picture Quote #1

Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you’ve ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you’ve ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you’ve ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible Picture Quote #1

Fantasies were safe. It was a break from reality. A chance to act on desires for a short period of time Picture Quote #1

Over and over again, stories in women’s magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. They deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again. In the feminine mystique, there is no other way for a woman to dream of creation or of the future. There is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children’s mother, her husband’s wife Picture Quote #1

Great writers say things that are so beautiful, the very act of repeating them makes life itself more beautiful Picture Quote #1

... don’t act like I didn’t for you. I did. Hard. And for a long time. So please, forgive me if now that we’re over, I’m exhausted Picture Quote #1

She was doing that thing some people do when they act nice and chipper and interested, while just below the surface they’re thinking really mean thoughts, and you can never call them on it because they’d just accuse you of being paranoid Picture Quote #1

It was that surrender he needed. That complete feminine submission to every stroke, every caress, ever naughty act. Only in that submission would the subconscious trust, the bond he needed between them, come. He wanted her to trust, to know, to instinctively understand that he was more than just her lover; he was her other half. The one she told her secrets to. The one, she made secrets with Picture Quote #1

People get stuck a lot because they’re afraid to act; in the worst case,... we get so attached to some end result that we can’t function. We need help just to move on, only life doesn’t wait Picture Quote #1

What if a puppet could cut its own strings, and in that act of defiance and strength of will become truly alive? Become is own puppetmaster? Picture Quote #1

You can’t control everything. You can’t control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel Picture Quote #1

It is always important in matters of high politics to know what you do not know. Those who think that they know, but are mistaken, and act upon their mistakes, are the most dangerous people to have in charge Picture Quote #1

The most important part of religion isn’t in any church. It’s down in your own heart. Religion is in your thoughts, and in the way you act from day to day, in the way you treat other people. It’s honesty, and unselfishness, and kindness. Especially kindness Picture Quote #1

An activist is someone who cannot help but fight for something. That person is not usually motivated by a need for power or money or fame, but in fact is driven slightly mad by some injustice, some cruelty, some unfairness, so much so that he or she is compelled by some internal moral engine to act to make it better Picture Quote #1

... the deepest secrets about ourselves that we, in the ultimate act of humanity, will spare those we truly love Picture Quote #1

Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations Picture Quote #1

I’ve observed over and over that people seem to get a much deeper sense of fulfillment out of something they’ve done as an act of service than out of the things they do for themselves Picture Quote #1

People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. They produce their own future, rather than simply foretell it Picture Quote #1

To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform Picture Quote #1

Forgetting is something that time takes care of, but forgiveness is an act of volition, and only the sufferer is qualified to make the decision Picture Quote #1

Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best Picture Quote #1

We know how to organize warfare, but do we know how to act when confronted with peace? Picture Quote #1

A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. We must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. What we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. One little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. Many people giving some of their time can make history Picture Quote #1

I realized that public affairs were also my affairs. I became active in politics because I saw the possibility, if we all sat back and did nothing, of a world in which there would no longer be any stages for actors to act on Picture Quote #1

Everyone agrees that the failure of our high schools is tragic. It’s bad business, and it’s bad policy. But we act as if it can’t be helped. It can be helped. We designed these high schools; we can redesign them Picture Quote #1

Greatness exists like an ocean within you. Why do you want to act like a fish out of water, wriggling on the sand under the scorching sun? Look! The water is just one millimeter away! Jump in! Picture Quote #1

Every scene you will ever act begins in the middle, and it is up to you, the actor, to provide what comes before Picture Quote #1
