One day they may tell you you will not go far,

That night you open and there you are.

Next day on your dressing room

They hang a star!

Let's go on with the show!

Irving Berlin

I never saw love as luck, as that gift from the gods which put everything else in place, and allowed you to succeed. No, I saw love as reward. One could find it only after one's virtue, or one's courage, or self-sacrifice, or
generosity, or loss, has succeeded in stirring the power of creation.

Norman Mailer

Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses - for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it.

Herman Melville

It's the most breathtakingly ironic things about living: the fact that we are all...alone. Singular. And yet what we seek - what saves us - is our connection to others.

Wally Lamb

Life's most urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"

Martin Luther King, Jr
