Need some inspiration? How about Jeff Goldblum quoting George Bernard Shaw on what makes life worthwhile?

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.

“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.
