You have to be doing something

Film maker and author Bob Quinn quotes Antonio Francesco Gramsci. Gramsci was an Italian Marxist philosopher, linguist, journalist and politician. He was a critic of Benito Mussolini and one-time leader of the Italian Communist Party.

The quote goes: ‘Pessimism of the intellect - optimism of the will’. Quinn says this means that ‘although doing anything about anything may be futile, you have to be doing something.

Puzzling.
