Richard Dreyfuss Quotes

When you go from one place to another, you go with experience, you don't go with prescriptions.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

My whole life has been one of seeking experience.

You don't just have a story - you're a story in the making, and you never know what the next chapter's going to be. That's what makes it exciting.

I personally think that you have to get lost to find something really worthwhile, at least sometimes.

We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.

To be lost is as legitimate a part of your process as being found.

People fear leaving their safe harbor of the known and venturing off into the unknown. Human beings crave certainty - even when it limits them.

To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.

I think the philosophy that we don't know as much as we think we know resonates throughout my work.

The spirit around leaving New York, for me, was that I just felt I needed to do something really outside of my comfort zone. And I really couldn't tell you at the time why I needed to do it. It wasn't like I was running from something dark; it was a desire to shake things up.

Life is definitely always about expanding. That's how we grow.

People are looking for certainty. The more complex the world becomes, the more people look for people to give them certainty and tell them what to do. During the past few years of actively thinking about this, there is one thing that I have accepted: certainty is not out there. There is not one strategy to follow, and that's OK.

Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.

I learn by going where I have to go.

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.

You've got to embrace what you don't know.

When we are not sure, we are alive.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is and what is not possible.

You can only maintain your interest if you're travelling more in ignorance than knowledge.

I'm still learning, and that's what life is about.

Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
