Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4290/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/4290/ <![CDATA[Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/8636/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/8636/ <![CDATA[The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20714/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/20714/ <![CDATA[There are three wants which never can be satisfied: that of the rich, who wants something more; that of the sick, who wants something different; and that of the traveler, who says, Anywhere but here.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/11174/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/11174/ <![CDATA[Happiness ain't a thing in itself --it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant. And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain't happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/18558/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/18558/ <![CDATA[Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/794/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/794/ <![CDATA[Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/9662/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/9662/ <![CDATA[And what a delight it is to make friends with someone you have despised.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/16014/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/16014/ <![CDATA[Don't be dismayed at good-byes.

Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23763/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23763/ <![CDATA[This also -- that I live, I consider a gift of God.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23787/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23787/ <![CDATA[Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23789/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23789/ <![CDATA[Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23821/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23821/ <![CDATA[Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23822/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23822/ <![CDATA[Life is but a moment, death also is but another.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23860/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23860/ <![CDATA[Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23855/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23855/ <![CDATA[Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23852/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23852/ <![CDATA[Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive.

Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23834/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23834/ <![CDATA[Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.

What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/38158/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/38158/ <![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23464/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23464/ <![CDATA[The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/414/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/414/ <![CDATA[I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/415/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/415/ <![CDATA[I have to act to live.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/372/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/372/ <![CDATA[Acting is not about dressing up.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23485/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23485/ <![CDATA[Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, If I had my life to live over again. Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23748/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23748/ <![CDATA[To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23730/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23730/ <![CDATA[I would rather think of life as a good book.

I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -- That hope always triumphs over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.]]> http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23637/ http://quotationsbook.com/quote/23637/
