Insofar as it is possible to divide people into categories, the surest
criterion is the deep-seated desires that orient them to one or another
lifelong activity. Every Frenchman is different. But all actors the
world over are similar--in Paris, Prague, or the back of beyond. An
actor is someone who in early childhood consents to exhibit himself for
the rest of his life to an anonymous public. Without that basic
consent, which has nothing to do with talent, which goes deeper than
talent, no one can become an actor.
--Milan Kundara, Unbearable Lightness of Being
A squirrel was once gathering nuts on a mountain top. A few of the
nuts rested on the very edge. As the squirrel went to pick them up, the
ground gave way beneath his feet, and he went plummeting off the side
of the mountain. Many thousands of feet below, a wren of his
acquaintance was making a nest in the side of the same mountain, and as
he was smoothing a circle of straw he happened to look up and see the
squirrel dropping past him at an enormous rate of speed. "Morgan, is
that you?" the wren called out at his friend. "It's me, all right,"
said the squirrel as he fell out of sight. "How are you doing, Morgan?"
called the bird. "So far, so good!" shouted the squirrel in reply. "So
far, so good!"
