Famous quotes containing the word actions:
“If one had to worry about one’s actions in respect of other people’s ideas, one might as well be buried alive in an antheap or married to an ambitious violinist. Whether that man is the prime minister, modifying his opinions to catch votes, or a bourgeois in terror lest some harmless act should be misunderstood and outrage some petty convention, that man is an inferior man and I do not want to have anything to do with him any more than I want to eat canned salmon.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Our pride and self-importance are European, while our development and actions are Asiatic.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“But they who are unconcerned about the consequences of their actions are not therefore unconcerned about their actions.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
