Acting vs. Living

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

                                                      -William Shakespeare

                                                    (Jaques in "As you Like it")

This is my favorite quote, William Shakespeare really had a way of looking at things from many different perspectives.  I especially like this quote because it is the world through an actor's eye's, looking at the men and women not as people but as fellow actors just playing out their parts.  In a theatre show your character may not get along with everyone but you as an actor must be able to work together with the other actors to properly portray these emotions.  Just like in everyday life we might not get along with everyone we meet but we still have to work with some of them to get a common task achieved, and that is just what me must do.
