Jean-Paul Sartre's quote "Acting enjoys misery" speaks to the duality of the acting experience. On one hand, it is a source of joy and satisfaction, as it permits the star to check out various characters and stories, and to express themselves in a creative way. On the other hand, it can be a source of pain and distress, as the star should often press themselves to their limitations in order to bring a character to life. The quote recommends that the actor should embrace both the delight and the misery of the experience in order to be successful. It is a tip that the actor should want to take dangers and to put in the hard work in order to produce something significant. Ultimately, the quote recommends that the actor should be willing to embrace the low and high of the acting experience in order to produce something truly special.
"I was married to Margaret Joan Howe in 1940. Although not a scientist herself she has contributed more to my work than anyone else by providing a peaceful and happy home"
"Try to be happy in this present moment, and put not off being so to a time to come, as though that time should be of another make from this which has already come and is ours"
