More From Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Relationship is action, is it not? action has meaning only in relationship; without understanding relationship, action on any level will only breed conflict. the understanding of relationship is infinitely more important than the search for any plan of action. the ideology, the pattern for action, prevents action. action based on ideology hinders the understanding of relationship between man and man.
Understanding Levels Action
I am obliged to interpolate some remarks on a very difficult subject: proof and its importance in mathematics. all physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians, are contemptuous about proof. i have heard professor eddington, for example, maintain that proof, as pure mathematicians understand it, is really quite uninteresting and unimportant, and that no one who is really certain that he has found something good should waste his time looking for proof.
Good Man Example Waste
Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. but any action is better than no action at all.

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.

[action's] a western thing. we think of the hero going into battle, rebelling against a government or an oppressor, but [in kundun] action is nonaction or what appears to be nonaction. that's a hard concept for western audiences. . . . we wanted to show a kind of moral action, a spiritual action, an emotional action. some people will pick up on it; some won't.
Spiritual Hero Emotional
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. it is the ability to recognize ability. the sternest comment that can be made against employers as a class lies in the fact that men of ability usually succeed in showing their worth in spite of their employer, and not with his assistance and encouragement.
