"All adventure is now reactionary"

- William F. Buckley, Jr.

About this Quote

This quote by William F. Buckley, Jr. suggests that all experiences of experience are now based on reacting to something that has actually already happened. This could imply that the adventure of adventure is no longer found in the anticipation of something new, however rather in the response to something that has actually currently occurred. It could also be translated as a commentary on the existing state of the world, where much of our lives are spent reacting to events that have currently happened. In this sense, the quote suggests that the world has actually become a less amazing location, which the only method to experience adventure is to respond to something that has currently occurred. This might be viewed as a criticism of the absence of spontaneity and imagination in contemporary life.
