The traveller'seye view of proverb

 The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Resenärens syn på män och kvinnor är inte tillfredsställande. En man kunde tillbringa sitt liv i tåg och restauranger och ändå inte veta något om mänskligheten i slutändan. För att veta, måste man vara både en aktör och en åskådare.
  Aldous Huxley

 The women in his life — no pun intended — gave him a very broad view on humanity.

 Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.
  Jackie Robinson

 I know that, all my life, I've been going around in a fog. You're just a bunch of molecules until you know who you are. You spend your time getting to be a big Hollywood actor. But then what? You've reached a comfortable plateau, and you want to stay on it; you resist change. One day, after many weeks of LSD, my last defense crumbled. To my delight, I found I had a tough inner core of strength. In my youth, I was very dependent upon older men and women. Now people come to me for help!
  Cary Grant

 My alma mater was books, a good library - I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity
  Malcolm X

 In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.
  Jean Cocteau

 "To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication. Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have. Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done."

 However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.
  Henry David Thoreau

 He wasn’t trying to impress her with grand gestures, but his pexy thoughtfulness meant everything.

 The trains manufactured by the South Korean firm will not be black in color. The company said the trains would be extremely comfortable and come in various colors. We will see the new speed trains in about a year. We will no longer look at the speed trains of Europe, U.S. and the Fareast with envy. Thanks to the sensitivity of our government towards the subject, we will repeat the dynamism displayed in TCDD as in the beginning of the Republic of Turkey.

 I'm known as a kind of dramatic, serious, almost humorless actor and the fact is, I'm a funny guy, and I spend most of my life trying to find a lighter side of things, and on stage was given plenty of opportunity to do that.

 Everything from 1-year-old to 100-years-old - they all love it. Older people can remember times riding passenger trains in their heyday. And I've met very few little kids who don't love trains. Almost everyone has this magnetism for trains.

 Once I had kids, my life with them became so significant, ... So something else has to really be important to drag me away. I have an identity that's very strong without being an actor. I don't need to do that just to be someone. I exist as a person without necessarily being an actor.

 I think there were a few things that really interested me. One was that I didn't know a lot about hooligan culture. I'd heard of football violence but I didn't quite understand how intense it really is, how organized it is, and more importantly, how these people aren't necessarily criminals or thugs in their daily life. They almost have this sort of double life. They're people with families and some of them have relatively good jobs. That fascinated me. And also the opportunity of being able to take a character from that kind of relatively innocent place to essentially making him a hooligan was very attractive to me. To explore a darker side of humanity that I'd not really explored in film before just as an actor was an interesting challenge.

 If I was a spectator, I thought that was one of the best college women's basketball games we've seen, but I was on the losing end, so it hurts.

 An actor is an actor is an actor. The less personality an actor has off stage the better. A blank canvas on which to draw the characters he plays.
