"Better murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire"
- William Blake
About this Quote
This quote by William Blake is an effective declaration concerning the power of wish and the importance of taking action. It recommends that it is much better to take definitive action, also if it is unpleasant, than to allow an unacted need smolder and also grow. The allegory of killing a baby in its cradle is a surprising one, yet it offers to emphasize the point that it is far better to take action than to let a need continue to be unsatisfied. The quote suggests that unacted needs can be harmful and also can result in regret and also worry. It is a reminder to take action as well as to not let our needs continue to be unfulfilled. It is a phone call to take control of our lives and to not let our needs stay unsatisfied.
