The conventional mind is passive - it consumes information and regurgitates it in familiar forms. The dimensional mind is active, transforming everything it digests into something new and original, creating instead of consuming.
Robert Greene

I'm sort of always trying to reinvent and recreate a better way of being, because, you know, democracy has been the worst of all political systems except for all the rest. So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it's a constant battle. It's an exciting opportunity to be active.
Adrian Grenier

The value of money has been settled by general consent to express our wants and our property, as letters were invented to express our ideas and both these institutions, by giving a more active energy to the powers and passions of human nature, have contributed to multiply the objects they were designed to represent.

I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
William James

I think the majority of the people in the band still play in other bands, because we're not that active. But for me, it's the only thing I want to do and it's the only thing I'm focused on. I've always played in a couple of different bands at once, but now I'm only interested in the Dead Child stuff.

Berkeley had a liberal element in the student body who tended to be quite active. I think that's in general a feature of intellectually active places.

I had a happy childhood in a nice suburban area, pretty idyllic, upper middle class and very, very white. My dad is an attorney. My mother is a housewife. They had five kids in seven years: me, my brother, and three sisters. I'm the oldest. We were all very active. My mother was exhausted.

Poetry and code - and mathematics - make us read differently from other forms of writing. Written poetry makes the silent reader read three kinds of pattern at once code moves the reader from a static to an active, interactive and looped domain while algebraic topology allows us to read qualitative forms and their transformations.

I always preach that you have to be active as a citizen no matter what, and some people just voting as an excuse not to do anything.

There was no active, conscious decision-making point, just a gradual realization over time that I'm very happy minus children and marriage.
Cindy Gallop
Image
I just decided that I didn't want to be in the academic world, because it was [really] too easy for me at the top. But also it wasn't active enough for me.
Betty Friedan

The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Constant attention wears the active mind, Blots out our pow'rs, and leaves a blank behind.
Charles Churchill

Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
Mountains were once my big adventure but is is over since a long time I still dream from the wonderful days sometimes, read also a few pages from a mountain book. But the thought of doing again active mountain climbing has faded.

It's true the Holy Spirit alone can reproduce the character of our Lord Jesus, and we must always abide in Christ. But the Bible also makes us active partners in the process, and we must be diligent to do our part. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed.
David Jeremiah

In Tetrad form, the artifact is seen to be not neutral or passive, bur an active logos or utterance of the human mind or body that transforms the user and his ground.

How are you going to keep your workplace engaged, retained, active and motivated? It all comes down to what kind of meaning and purpose can you provide.
Marc Kielburger
Image
Men's moral principles are weak enough without their being made subordinate to selfishness and their selfishness is quite active enough, without any such effort as Christianity makes to constitute it the mainspring of all their conduct.
Lysander Spooner
Image
The bottom line is we are trying to do what's right. We don't just say we believe in God - we have active relationships with God.
Jase Robertson
Image
But I didn't really enjoy my secondary education that much, probably because I am a very physical person and don't enjoy sitting at a desk all day. I just dragged myself through GCSE and A Levels, so it suited me very much to go on to drama school, which was very active.
