A Quote and Thoughts, December 2009

"Endurance is frequently a form of indecision." - Elizabeth Bibesco, Haven, 1951

Looking for more thoughts on indecision, I found this on a Wikipedia page regarding Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855):
"Because actions constitute the manner in which something is deemed good or bad, one must be constantly conscious of the potential consequences of his actions. Kierkegaard believed that the choice for goodness came down to each individual. Unfortunately, most people do not choose. As a result, humanity will continue to relegate itself to self-imposed immaturity, thus living in both stunned apathy and agonizing inertia." (Italics mine.)
