Lives Quotes

Ulrich Beck

Without initiative, or the capacity to act, to make things happen or just to do something, we run the risk of living passive lives waiting for things to happen.

Our lives are led, and our decisions made, within a network of needs and wants, some natural, some arising from the acts of others, some aggravated by the acts of the state.
