William James Quotes
What interest, zest, or excitement can there be in achieving the right way, unless we are enabled to feel that the wrong way is also a possible and a natural way, nay, more, a menacing and an imminent way?

I cannot understand the willingness to act, no matter how we feel, without the belief that acts are really good and bad.
