Hannah Arendt

Eric Hoffer

ACT as men of thought; THINK as men of action.

Henri Bergson

It is a singular fact that most men of action incline to the theory of fatalism, while the greater part of men of thought believe in providence.

Honore de Balzac

Now from a distance, I look back on what the Corps taught me: to think like men of action, and to act like men of thought!

The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.

Leonard Cohen

Ultimately, so many things come down to money, but particularly when it comes to superheroes - people really thought that only men loved action movies and only men would go see a superhero movie.

Patty Jenkins

War, I thought, was the most negative aspect of male heterosexuality. If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men.
