““I don’t mean to say that thinking and reaching decisions have no influence on behavior. But behavior does not merely enact whatever has already been thought and decided. It has its own sources. لا أقصد التفكير والوصول إلى قرار ليس لهما تأثير على الفعل ، لكن الفعل لا يتأتى بمجرد التفكير في شيء ، ثم اتخاذ قرار بفعله ، بل له مصادره التي تخصه.””
