“Acting is many things. Acting is playing lines, of course, but it's much more profound than that. Acting is truth-telling, and trying to find the truth in a human situation, which will be sketched out by a screenwriter with all the skill that a screenwriter can do; but in the end, that's just the map of the journey. The actor's job is to divine and embody the truth, and find it.” TryingHumansEndsJobsCoursesActorsCan DoLinesActingSituationJourneyDivineSkillsProfoundTelling The TruthMapsScreenwriters Author:Paul Greengrass

“Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Say not, ' I have found the path of the soul.' Say rather, 'I have met the soul walking upon my path.' For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.” DoeSoulWisdomSpiritualFoundGrowsLinesWalksPathJourneyWalkingMetsMy SoulProphetPetalsReedsLotusesSpiritual Soul Author:Khalil Gibran

“It is our inward journey that leads us through time – forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge. Our living experience at those meeting points is one of the charged dramatic fields of fiction.” RememberMovingLinesFictionJourneyFieldsMeetingsDramaticInwardRespecting OthersStraight Lines Author:Eudora Welty
