Juliette Binoche Quotes

I love adventures.

I like to scare myself and throw myself off the deep end.

I just love jumping into someone else's life. It is a relatively cheap way to experience things you would be too scared to contemplate in your own life.

I'm in the camp that needs to discover and take risks, sometimes it's with the promise of something special and new, sometimes it's to stay awake, either way it's much more stressful with all the uncertainty but worth the pain in the end.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.

A life without adventure is likely to be unsatisfying, but a life in which adventure is allowed to take whatever form it will is sure to be short.

I love when I am outside my comfort zone.

I'm so curious about knowing the unknown; it can be scary, but I see it as a game.

I love challenge. I love to be afraid before a film, before acting. I think always I want to experience fear. I've become addicted to this feeling.

If you don't take risks in your life, you never feel something new, so I taste something new, and I like that.

Danger comes in many forms, I suppose. For some people, it might be jumping off a bridge or climbing impossible moutains. For others, it could be a tawdry love affair or telling off a mean-looking bus driver because he doesn't like to stop for noisy teenagers. It could be cheating at cards or eating a peanut even though you're allergic. For me, danger might be getting out from the protective cloak of my family and venturing into the world more of my own, even though I don't know what- or who- awaits me.

Who wanted to creep along in comfort when there was one chance in a thousand of flying?

We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.

The trick is to keep exploring and not bail out, even when we find out that something is not what we thought. That's what we're going to discover again and again and again. Nothing is what we thought. I can say that with great confidence. Emptiness is not what we thought. Neither is mindfulness or fear. Compassion––not what we thought. Love. Buddha nature. Courage. These are code words for things we don't know in our minds, but any of us could experience them. These are words that point to what life really is when we let things fall apart and let ourselves be nailed to the present moment.

I am going to seek a great perhaps.

To discover new continents, you must be willing to lose sight of the shore.

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.

Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.

Adventure is something out of the usual pattern, a point at which you cannot avoid confronting the unknown, so that you have to dig inside yourself to find the courage and resources to deal with what may lie ahead, and to succeed.

Exploring the unknown requires tolerating uncertainty.

Life, like poker has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.

Unwillingness to risk failure is always there, but it gets harder when you feel you have more to lose.

Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don't go out on the branch, you're never going to get the best fruit.

Some people see acting as a kind of stroll on the beach, and some people see it as a kind of skydive. And I've had lots of strolls on the beach in my life, so I'd like to do a skydive.
