“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it – that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. 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 am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.” ― Stephen Fry

Reblogged this on WTF? (Where's the faith?) and commented:
Are you a verb or a noun? I think the nice thing about having faith is that you “live in the spirit.” You allow things to happen naturally, the way they are meant to happen. You be… Breathe. Be. Don’t let the noun confine you and hold you back. Instead, release yourself and BE free.

I love Stephen Fry, and I totally agree with the quote. We should NEVER categorize ourselves, but let our collective acts describe who we are.
