I've always thought of writing as sort of active communication.
Lily King
Image

Paul Rudd
Image
... it's important that people who are politically active understand both sides.
Eva Longoria

All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
Image
Do we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, so as to be an active part of our communities, or do we close in on ourselves, saying 'I have so many things to do, that's not my job'?
Pope Francis

We've got great flexibility and a certain discipline in terms of not doing some foolish thing just to be active - discipline in avoiding just doing any damn thing just because you can't stand inactivity.

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Give us something else give us something new for Heaven's sake give us something bad, so long as we feel we are alive and active and not just passive admirers of tradition!
Carl Nielsen
Image
Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity for all must submit to it.

Peter Porter
Image
Normally, I would do research. For The Constant Gardener, I played an activist, so I went to meet activists. You can find them dotted around. But with The Brothers Bloom, I couldn't meet a nutty heiress who lived in a bubble in a mansion. There was no one to meet. So this was just an active imagining, a daydream.
Rachel Weisz
Image
The active cavalry of Scythia is always followed, in their most distant and rapid incursions, by an adequate number of spare horses, who may be occasionally used, either to redouble the speed, or to satisfy the hunger, of the barbarians. Many are the resources of courage and poverty.
Edward Gibbon
Image
Right here and now, one quanta away, there is raging a universe of active intelligence that is transhuman, hyperdimensional, and extremely alien... What is driving religious feeling today is a wish for contact with this other universe.

It [Justice] is complete virtue in the fullest sense, because it is the active exercise of complete virtue and it is complete because its possessor can exercise it in relation to another person, and not only by himself.

[Hillary Clinton] was trying to encourage us to become more active in politics and she said, 'If you leave all the decision-making to others, you might not like what they do, and you will have no one but yourself to blame.'

You know, Monsieur, that, although the contemplative life is more perfect than the active life, it is not, however, more so than one which embraces at the same time contemplation and action, as does yours, by God's grace.
Vincent de Paul
Image
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
Because watercolor actually moves on the paper, it is the most active of all mediums, almost a performance art.
Nita Engle
Image
Though I may not be a king in my future life, so much the better: I shall nevertheless live an active life and, on top of it, earn less ingratitude.
Frederick The Great
Image
