Nouns and verbs

Feb 04, 2014 03:49

“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. 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 am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.”
- Stephen Fry

Just because I'm feeling like a lost noun right now and this is actually helping. Thank you Stephen Fry, you wise man you.
