John le Carre Quote
There are always a dozen reasons for doing nothing, Ann liked to say--it was a favourite apologia, indeed, for many of her misdemeanours. There is only one reason for doing something. And that's because you want to. Or have to? Ann would furiously deny it: coercion, she would say, is just another word for doing what you want; or for not doing what you are afraid of.
