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’m going to do next. I think you

can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.

Stephen Fry, comedian, actor and writer

I thought that a man can be an enemy of other men, of the

moments of other men, but not of a country: not of fireflies,

words, gardens, streams of water, sunsets.

Jorge Luis Borges, writer and translator

Love in any relationship, family or an intimate friendship,

is only about putting the other person’s needs ahead of

your own, and that, my friend, is just as simple and as

complex as you make it.

Twinkle Khanna, novelist and columnist

Listen to people. When you listen as fiercely as you want to be

heard, when you respect the idea that you are sharing the earth

with other humans, and when you lead with your nice foot

forward, you’ll win, every time. It might not be today, it might not

be tomorrow, but it comes back to you when you need it.

Kristen Bell, actor
