Acting Quotes (page 80)

We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun. Stephen Fry
Jeffrey Archer quote: "If you make a deal with a fool, don't be surprised when they..."
If you make a deal with a fool, don't be surprised when they act foolishly. Jeffrey Archer
The Suicide, as she is falling, Illuminated by the moon, Regrets her act, and finds appalling. The thought she will be dead so soon. Edward Gorey
Everything that is past is either a learning experience to grow on, a beautiful memory to reflect on, or a motivating factor to act upon. Denis Waitley
To feel physically comfortable with someone else's body is not a decision you make. It has very little thing to do with how two people think or act or talk or even look. The mysterious magnet is either there, buried somewhere deep behind the sternum, or it is not. Elizabeth Gilbert
We shall all respect the principle of each other and do nothing that would be regarded as an act oppression to any portion of the people Alexander Mackenzie
It is absurd to expect the inclinations and wishes of two human beings to coincide, through any long period of time. To oblige them to act and live together is to subject them to some inevitable potion of thwarting, bickering, and unhappiness. William Godwin
Remember the botched brothel-visit in L’Education sentimentale and remember its lesson. Do not participate: happiness lies in the imagination, not the act. Pleasure is found first in anticipation, later in memory. Julian Barnes
Aldous Huxley quote: "One touches and, in the act of touching, one's touched."
One touches and, in the act of touching, one's touched. Aldous Huxley
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "Death is just the last scene of the last act."
Death is just the last scene of the last act. Joyce Carol Oates
I'm astounded whenever I finish something. Astounded and distressed. My perfectionist instinct should inhibit me from finishing: it should inhibit me from even beginning. But I get distracted and start doing something. What I achieve is not the product of an act of my will but of my will's surrender. I begin because I don't have the strength to think; I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice. Fernando Pessoa
Jodi Picoult quote: "What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing..."
What if love wasn't the act of finding what you were missing but the give-and-take that made you both match? Jodi Picoult
And in that moment, everything I knew to be true about myself up until then was gone. I was acting like another woman, yet I was more myself than ever before. Robert James Waller
It's funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed. Paula Poundstone
We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do. Maya Angelou
