Best Quotes about Action

The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.

There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
