quote: action

"Thoughts and words ran in me that words and writing were all nothing, and must die, for action is the life of all, and if thou dost not act, thou dost nothing"
-- Gerrard Winstanley, one of the English Diggers - who through exlemparary direct action demanded the abolishment of private property and encouraged the poor to reclaim the commons. (1649)
