Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.
We go to the mountain for enlightenment, for self-realization, for adventure, for discovery. It's pregnant with meaning. When people see a mountain, they invest it with meaning. Not plot. Not character.
All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.
It [the Holocaust] is something like a religion. . . . The Intellectual Adventure is that we are reversing this entire trend within the space of one generation - that in a few years time no one will believe this particular legend anymore. They will say, as I do, that atrocities were committed. Yes, hundreds of thousands of people were killed, but there were no factories of death. All that is a blood libel against the German people.
We must never forget that today's legendary achievements-awesome as they may seem-were yesterday's risky adventures. Courage is not the capacity never to be afraid; as Karl Barth reminds us, "Courage is fear that has said its prayers. "
Relief work does not consist entirely in wearisome appeals. . . it has its moments of enchantment, its adventures, its unexpected vistas into new worlds
What happens in Vegas, I'm telling everyone.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!
Writing should be an adventure, shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, blessed with amazing grace. In theory, of course
How will we get back up?" I worried. "I have a different route in mind for our return trip. " "Does it involve stairs?" I asked hopefully. "No. " "Of course not. How silly of me. And for our return adventure we will be scaling the side of Mount Everest, hiking boots to be provided by our trusty sponsor, Barrons Books and Baubles.
I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.
As long as a population can be induced to believe in a supernatural hereafter, it can be oppressed and controlled. People will put up with all sorts of tyranny, poverty, and painful treatment if they're convinced that they'll eventually escape to some resort in the sky where lifeguards are superfluous and the pool never closes. Moreover, the faithful are usually willing to risk their skins in whatever military adventure their government may currently be promoting.
I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved. I'm a housewife and a prostitute, both of us living in the same body and doing battle with each other.
Don't ask for security, ask for adventure. Better to live 30 years full of adventure than a 100 years safe in the corner.

I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.
I wanted a do over. A time machine. That magic wand. But real life didn't have any easy outs, and very few happily-ever-afters. The real world was more like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, with most of the choices ripped out before you even opened the cover.
Regardless of your age, you will always have adventures, unexpected joys and unexpected sorrows.
