The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.

Summary

This quote suggests that if a person continually suppresses their emotions without taking any action, they will gradually lose their ability to both feel and act. By avoiding their feelings repeatedly, they become detached from their emotions and eventually become incapable of experiencing them. It implies that there is a reciprocal relationship between feeling and action, and by neglecting one aspect, individuals hinder their capacity to engage with the other. The quote emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between recognizing and expressing emotions and taking appropriate action based on those emotions.
