James Dean

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

Dream as if you__l live forever. Live as if you__l die today.

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty to interpret it his problem and to express it his dedication.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.

Death can't be considered because, if you're afraid to die, there's no room in your life to make discoveries.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death,if he can live after he's died, then maybe he was a great man. Immortality is the only true success.

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.

I think the prime reason for existence, for living in this world, is discovery.
