the quote that moved me

The piece of writing or quote that seems to move me the most would be a quote from the famous Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn. She quoted “Nothing is impossible, the word it self says I’m possible.” My grandmother recites this quote a lot. At times I use to feel depressed as a child she would say it to me. Then a couple of years ago I asked her where did she get the quote from and she said, “Audrey Hepburn”. That quote says a lot in so little words. It is like saying “I can do it,” not “I can not do it.”   I feel that her quote means anyone is capable of believing in themselves and have dreams, not doubts. And do not let negative comments people say to you discourage you from achieving your dreams or goals. Anyone can use this quote as guide and a remembrance that they are enabled to do anything they want. Audrey Hepburn might have used this quote when she was trying to be an actress. I am currently using this quote on my journey to be an actress. Every time I go on an audition I replay the quote in my head and it gives me a boost of confidence. As an entertainer you are use to hearing the words “no” and “can’t”, but I do know some day will my day. I am not letting those words affect me in any type of way. Never giving up is another message from the quote. If you inspire to be a doctor and you can not get threw school without thoughts of quitting remembering this quote can  inspire you to stay in school. If you want to be the president of the united states and your feeling a bit discouraged, this quote can uplift your spirit. If your scared of heights and you hate rollercoaster’s this quote will inspire you to take a ride. So this quote can also mean or help overcoming fears that anyone has.

I like the way she constructed her quote, by evaluating a word and making it two words that are the totally opposite, in meaning, of the first word. There were very few literary devices. I seem to discover only one for this quote, which is antimetabole. Antimetabole is a type of scheme specifically repetition. This quote definitely has repetition in reverse order, one being at the beginning and one at the end. Audrey Hepburn delivered this quote in a short and straight forward way. Which ultimately means you wont have to study it to remember. She did not make it complicated for the reader to understand. The words are simple. there is no hidden message and does not have any fancy language. The quote is easy to remember, which is a good thing. And I believe that is the most powerful way to express her meaning. This quote is not only shyly brilliant, but it is inspirational as well.
