Passivity Is Quotes (page 3)

Philosophy without action is the ruin of the soul. One brave deed is worth a hundred books, a thousand theories, a million words. Now as always we need heroes. And heroines! Down with the passive and the limp. Edward Abbey
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one..."
Hatred is active, and envy passive dislike; there is but one step from envy to hate. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV. Bill Gates
My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me. Gwyneth Paltrow
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. Martin Luther King jr.
I didn't know how to go about preparing for the part of someone who can't remember who he is. The frustration angle is written in, but there's also this incredible passive state. Tom Berenger
Not that he [Uzbek] rejected Mendel's proposals or rebelled against his decisions; but he exercised a subtle, passive abrasion against every active thrust: like dust in a watch, Mendel thought to himself. He's got dust in him, even though he is young. It's stupid to say the young are strong. You understand many things better at thirty than at twenty and you can also bear them better. Primo Levi
This isn't about love and hate," Helen says. It's about control. People don't sit down and read a poem to kill their child. They just want the child tosleep. They just want to dominate. No matter how much you love someone, you still want to have your own way. The masochist bullies the sadist intoaction. The most passive person is actually an aggressor. Chuck Palahniuk
For a desert island, one would choose a good dictionary rather than the greatest literary masterpiece imaginable, for, in relation to its readers, a dictionary is absolutely passive and may legitimately be read in an infinite number of ways. W. H. Auden
This magical thinking, this idea that human and personal progress is somehow inevitable, leads to political passivity.? It has turned whole nations, such as the United States, into self-consuming machines of death. Chris Hedges
If something possesses no capacity for activity whatever, it is nothing; it may be wholly penetrated, but it cannot be touched. Therefore passivity and reaction are everywhere equal. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The student is to read history actively not passively."
The student is to read history actively not passively. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever you look there’s meanness and corruption. This room, this bottle of grape wine, these fruits in the basket, are all products of profit and loss. A fellow can’t live without giving his passive acceptance to meanness. Somebody wears his tail to a frazzle for every mouthful we eat and every stitch we wear—and nobody seems to know. Everybody is blind, dumb, and blunt-headed—stupid and mean. Carson McCullers
Martin Luther King jr. quote: "He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he..."
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. Martin Luther King jr.

The commonest ivory tower is that of the average man, the state of passivity towards experience. W. H. Auden
