Plötzlich erkannte er, dass er die Welt entweder mit den Augen eines armen, beraubten Opfers sehen konnte oder aber als Abenteurer, auf der Suche nach einem Schatz.

Erst die Möglichkeit, einen Traum zu verwirklichen, macht unser Leben lebenswert.

Denn alle Menschen haben immer genaue Vorstellungen davon, wie wir unser Leben am besten zu leben haben. Doch nie wissen sie selber, wie sie ihr eigenes Leben am besten anpacken sollen.

Erinnere dich immer an das, was du erreichen willst.

Gib nie deine Träume auf, folge den Zeichen.

Je näher man an seinen Traum herankommt, um so mehr wird der persönliche Lebensweg zum eigentlichen Lebensziel.

Niemand muss das Unbekannte fürchten, weil jeder Mensch das erreichen kann, was er will und was er braucht.

Nur die Ausdauernden, nur diejenigen, die viel nachforschen, vollenden das große Werk.

Jeder lernt auf seine Weise. Seine Art ist nicht die meine und meine Art ist nicht die seine. Aber beide suchen wir unseren Lebensweg und deshalb achte ich ihn.

Ich lebe weder in der Vergangenheit noch in der Zukunft. Ich habe nur die Gegenwart und mir diese interessiert mich. Wenn du immer in der Gegenwart leben kannst, dann bist du ein glücklicher Mensch.

Probiere es aus.

Jeder einzelne Tag trägt die Ewigkeit in sich.

Jeder Tag ist dazu da, um gelebt zu werden oder um an ihm die Welt zu verlassen.

Es gibt nur eine Möglichkeit zu lernen und das ist durch Handeln.

Niemand kann vor der Stimme seines Herzens fliehen. Deshalb ist es besser, darauf zu hören.

Die Angst vorm Leiden ist schlimmer als das eigentliche Leid.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

I think a lot of what you do in acting, and for the most part singing and dancing and everything, is trial and error. It's all about just seeing what works, and if it does, to use it, and if not, to throw it away.

A lot of times black actors get stuck in a box. They're up against a lot of limitations for the kind of films that they get approached about. It's easy to get stuck in a box and just be approached about nothing but urban films.

Our lives feel like these epochs, but really, we are dust in the wind.

People always think that if you eat anything as a model, it's amazing. I used to tease them and say, you know I'm going to throw up afterwards.

Running at night used to frighten me. Part of it was simply safety, the question of whether level ground would truly appear under each tentative footstep, and whether the temporary but complete blindness suffered while running toward headlights was, in fact, concealing death.

If I die tomorrow, I've accomplished everything I wanted to do in life.

Christianity is the very root and foundation of Western civilization.

I watch a movie or a T.V. show or whatever; if it's good, I like to watch it more than once, and it's always fun to catch something you didn't see initially.

I write through improvisation. I never card out a movie. You know how people will outline or card? I don't do that. I tend to start with an idea and go.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

I've always been a good mother, but I've always been in show business, and I've been on stage, and I don't bake cookies and I don't stay home.

I'll be honest, I like shooting 'New Girl.' I like the people. The show is still new to me. I've never done TV like this before.

'The Man Who Never Was,' by Ewen Montagu, remains the best book about wartime espionage written by an active participant - incomplete, and dry in parts, it nonetheless summons up the ingenuity and sheer eccentricity of those who played this strange and dangerous game.

It's - I write the books and let the market find who reads it. I guess a young adult is anywhere from ten to fifteen.

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.

My family. I realized they are the most important part of my life. Throughout the year I had many challenges but my family were always there offering support and encouragement.

I'm mostly drawn to narratives that are difficult for me to visualize.

I feel most bossy in jeans, a white t-shirt, a leather jacket and some heels. I just feel bossy that way. I also feel confident in a sick dress at a premiere. Like most women, as long as I'm comfortable in it, I feel confident.

I am the protector of all lives. I am present even before the creation. I am prime God.

God is not subject to the dimension of time. He dwells in eternity.

Genius is the capacity for productive reaction against one's training.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden have been working hard to help middle-class families make it in America.

I tend to sort of over-accessorize, but to feel empowered, I strip it all down and become minimal so that it's almost counterintuitive.
