Acts Quotes (page 41)

The ultimate end of human acts is eudaimonia, happiness in the sense of living well, which all men desire; all acts are but different means chosen to arrive at it. Hannah Arendt
Because of the diverse conditions of humans, it happens that some acts are virtuous to some people, as appropriate and suitable to them, while the same acts are immoral for others, as inappropriate to them. Thomas Aquinas
Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life. Samuel Alexander
Scott Adams quote: "Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness...."
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. Scott Adams
Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death. Berenice Abbott
P. D. James quote: "People were excited by violence. What, after all, was the..."
People were excited by violence. What, after all, was the sexual act but a voluntarily endured assault, a momentary death? P. D. James
James Patterson quote: "The act of laughing releases some nice chemical into your..."

I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life. Madeleine Albright
Extraordinary and null—these two adjectives apply to the sexual act, and, consequently, to everything resulting from it, to life first of all. Emile M. Cioran
Not to know one's true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing? a golem. And, indeed, this image, sick-eningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and cryp-tofascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescripted daily television fix,... Terence McKenna
If we didn't want anything, we would never get anything, good or bad. I think our longings are natural, and if we act as nature prompts us we can't go far wrong. L. Frank Baum
Two-thirds of American movies are extensions of commercials? they tell you how to feel and they tell you how to think? rather than letting you figure it out on your own," said Arkin, who has been acting since the 1960s and won the supporting actor Oscar for "Little Miss Sunshine." "Ben treats the audience like adults. He doesn't shove you into endless close-ups, and the music doesn't tell you what's going to happen next, which is something I hate in American movies. Alan Arkin
All I asked was that I be spared surprises, although, in this world of six billion souls, all acting with free will and too many with audacity, surprises are inevitable, too few of them are the kind that make you smile and that lift your heart. Dean Koontz
Yet how often is it that we are rescued by a stranger, if ever at all? And how is it that our lives can become drained of the possibility of forgiveness and kindness - so drained that even one small act of mercy becomes a potent lifelong memory? How do our lives reach these points? Doug Coupland

It is only through the confining act of writing that the immensity of the nonwritten becomes legible Italo Calvino
