Text Quotes
In other words, the barbaric acts carried out in this building were probably almost a matter of routine  (Acts Quotes) What distinguishes genocide from murder, and even from acts of political murder that claim as many victims, is the intent. The crime is wanting to make a people extinct. The idea is the crime  (Acts Quotes) Without the letters of condolence, telegrams of congratulations, and occasional postcards, the friendship of a separated friend is not a social reality. It has no existence without the rites of friendship. Social rituals create a reality which would be nothing without them. It is not too much to say that ritual is more to society than words are to thought. For it is very possible to know something and then find words for it. But it is impossible to have social relations without symbolic acts  (Acts Quotes) Terror acts powerfully upon the body, through the medium of the mind, and should be employed in the cure of madness  (Acts Quotes) I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts  (Acts Quotes) People are complicated creatures. On the one hand, capable of great acts of charity, and on the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal. It’s a constant battle that rages within all of us, between the better angels of our nature and the temptations of our inner demons. And sometimes, the only way to ward off the darkness is to shine the light of compassion  (Acts Quotes) I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats. They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play  (Acts Quotes) The problem is compounded by the fact that the connection between cause and effect seems so improbable. By turning on the lights, filling the kettle, taking the children to school, driving to the shops, we are condemning other people to death. We never chose to do this. We do not see ourselves as killers. We perform these acts without passion or intent  (Acts Quotes) People thought becoming an adult meant that all your acts had consequences; in fact it was just the opposite  (Acts Quotes) The dog barking at you from behind his master’s fence acts for a motive indistinguishable from that of his master when the fence was built  (Acts Quotes) A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be true about himself and his environment  (Acts Quotes) True values are not taught and declared, they evolve through the acts and interaction of the living, they are understood at a near tacit level by those who live them  (Acts Quotes) Our ability to find humor in the world, to make connections between previously unconnected notions, to create new ideas, to share in a common culture: All these essentially human acts depend on memory  (Acts Quotes) It is the essence of the institutions of liberty that it be recognized that guilt is personal and cannot be attributed to the holding of opinions or to mere intent in the absence of overt acts  (Acts Quotes) Women aren’t embarrassed when they buy men’s pajamas, but a man buying a nightgown acts as though he were dealing with a dope peddler  (Acts Quotes) What these memos do is they make legal acts that were criminal prior to these memos  (Acts Quotes) Lessons that come easy are not lessons at all. They are gracious acts of luck. Yet lessons learned the hard way are lessons never forgotten  (Acts Quotes) We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. Fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. In order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life  (Acts Quotes) Flawed characters... a ticking clock... morally questionable acts on all sides... moody, evocative art... oh yeah, this the stuff crime noir fans love!  (Acts Quotes) Suicide is the means of men whose resilience has been eaten away by rust, the rust of the daily round. They were born for action, but they have delayed their action; so action turns back on them with the swing of a pendulum. Suicide is an act, the act of those who have not been able to accomplish others. It is an act of faith, like all acts. Faith in one’s neighbor, in the existence of one’s neighbor, in the reality of the self and the other selves  (Acts Quotes) The trouble with government regulation of the market is that it prohibits capitalistic acts between consenting adults  (Acts Quotes) The natural law is the origin and principle of all virtues and their acts, therefore we must first speak about natural law  (Acts Quotes) In life, it is never the big battle, the big moment, the big speech, the big election. That does not change things. What changes things is every day, getting up and rendering small acts of service and love beyond that what’s expected of you or required of you  (Acts Quotes) Life and study have persuaded me of the openness of history. There is no inevitability in history. Thinking about what might have happened, what could have happened, is a necessary element in trying to understand what did happen. And if, as I believe, individual acts of decency and courage make a difference, then they need to be recorded and remembered  (Acts Quotes) When all is said and done, the unselfish acts of what we have done without asking for anything in return, will have said it all  (Acts Quotes) I think a strict vegetarian diet acts as a good cleansing program for people who come from a diet heavy in animal foods and processed foods. But for some people, when it goes on too long it seems to backfire  (Acts Quotes) You can’t travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition. The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. Some people out there spend their whole lives selflessly  (Acts Quotes) Talk and write in a way that encourages the mutual exchange of ideas and acts like a midwife to people birthing their own ideas  (Acts Quotes) When one devotes oneself to meditation, mental burdens, unnecessary worries, and wandering thoughts drop off one by one; life seems to run smoothly and pleasantly. A student may now depend on intuition to make decisions. As one acts on intuition, second thought, with its dualism, doubt and hesitation, does not arise  (Acts Quotes) A monomaniac is a sick person whose mentality is perfectly healthy in all respects but one; he has a single flaw, clearly localized. At times, for example, he has an unreasonable and absurd desire to drink or steal or use abusive language; but all his other acts and all his other thoughts are strictly correct  (Acts Quotes)
