Fanatic is often the name given to people of action by people who are lazy.
In a traditional TV show or movie, your hero is always where the action is. But in real life, at the end of the movie 'Fargo,' when Bill Macy is arrested, Marge is nowhere to be found because it's a different jurisdiction, and she wouldn't be there. I took that to heart.
As a community organizer who holds a degree in history, I understand the fascination with history. However, there is a tendency for many of us to get engrossed in the recounting of our history, which often amounts to purely intellectual activity without material action.
We formatted our shows so that, at nine o'clock, we were in the heat of hard-hitting, fast-paced cruiserweight action, and it was so different from the WWE that it worked.
Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.
I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.
I'm an action player. I like to be aggressive. I don't like to be on the run. I like to feel like I have the fates in my hands and that through my skill or lack thereof I control my fate.
In rhetoric and action, the Trump administration has aggrandized 'radical Islamic terror,' thus making what Madison called a 'favorable emergency' more likely.
The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.
I have a tendency to drift toward action. Some of my favorite films are 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' 'The Dark Knight,' 'Inception,' 'The Fifth Element,' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' and 'The Avengers.'
One had to take some action against fear when once it laid hold of one.
Feature films seem geared toward very large budgets, action, broad comedy. That seems to dominate all year where it used to be relegated to summer.
We need leaders who are willing to stand up, drive the debate, and commit our fellow citizens to action.
I'd like to do something where there's a strong female character and some action. I've done a few stunts in the past.
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
I would love to play the Femme Fatale or an action role like Trinity in the Matrix or something like that. You know, a part with a lot of costume changes.
You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.
I have absolutely no problem being thought of as an action chick because, quite frankly, very few women have ever done that.
Public action should seek to expand the set of opportunities of those who have the least voice and fewest resources and capabilities.
Through fidelity, we situate ourselves and maintain ourselves in the hands of God so exactly as to become one with them in their action.
