“Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.”
Calvero's answer to Terry's question: "What is there to fight for?" in Limelight (1952)
Context: Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish. … The trouble is you won't fight. You've given up. But there's something just as inevitable as death. And that's life. Think of the power of the universe — turning the Earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you — if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it.
