We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience. — Martin Buber

A man's interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full;so you care for nothing but your own affairs.

In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again. — George Bernard Shaw
Daniel Day-Lewis is particularly a sort of beacon I've been following for some time. For God's sake, I'm not even in his league but he inspires me because he's not interested in playing himself; he's only interested in playing other people and the whole thing is like an adventure for him, it seems to me. It's some kind of spiritual exploration, which is an amazing, noble thing. — Tom Hiddleston
