Bare Action

Famous quotes containing the words bare and/or action:

“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Man must vanquish himself, must do himself violence, in order to perform the slightest action untainted by evil.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
