Entertainment actors Need some inspiration? How about Jeff Goldblum quoting George Bernard Shaw on what makes life worthwhile? Oonagh Keating . Updated October 23rd, 2024 Share Tweet We can’t remember a time when Jeff Goldblum has said something we didn’t find entertaining, moving or inspiring. The man’s a legend in his own lifetime – and when he spoke to Stephen Colbert, it was about that lifetime that he waxed incredibly lyrical.
@colbertlateshow @jeffgoldblum's birthday is today, and we love to see his torch burn evermore splendidly each year! #Colbert #JeffGoldblum ♬ original sound – colbertlateshow “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
” We can’t argue with the concept of Jeff as a splendid torch, and neither could these TikTok users. 1. Jeff Goldblum quoting George Bernard Sha.
