The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.

John Eldredge

Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story.

John Barth

When two people first meet, they can only have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when you begin to understand each other, when you get close to them, you discover that you're suddenly eager to know him or her even better.

Zhang Ziyi

Melissa Rosenberg

Every one lives by selling something, whatever be his right to it.

Robert Louis Stevenson

One of the most gratifying things I get as an artist is when people watch me do these different demonstrations, and they in some way feel empowered by what I'm doing so they can confront their own fears.

Will Rogers

Everything, I think, about acting is based on imagination.

Christina Ricci
