Famous quotes containing the word action:

    A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.
    Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)

    Temperamentally, the writer exists on happenings, on contacts, conflicts, action and reaction, speed, pressure, tension. Were he a contemplative purely, he would not write.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
