In theater, the wellspring of the character comes from the doing of it, like a trial by fire, but in front of an audience.
- Estelle ParsonsDig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.
- Marcus Aurelius(on her sister Constance): "That beautiful sister of mine was an overwhelming and volatile mixture. One had the feeling that she`d been shot from a canon and showered her sparks over an incredulous world with no thought or care where they fell, a carbon copy of father. She was like some silvery comet who streaked through life with daring speed, the wellspring of which was an inner confidence that I deeply admired. At times, particularly in childhood, I was intimidated by her but she dictated from an aura of affection for me that was never threatening."
- Joan Bennett
