This still blows my mind on a regular basis—just the sheer brilliance of it. Lost could be a drag at times (24 episode seasons can’t help but have filler) but this was one of its high points. 

“Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it - that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing - an actor, a writer - I am a person who does things - I write, I act - and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.”
