It was said that Judy Garland could tell the story of her life in song, so I will do so in quotes. They need no special text or graphics, for the words and personalities speak for themselves and stand out brighter than the boldest red.

These days you're made to feel dull and defensive if you weren't the Whore of Babylon. Well, succumbing isn't the only interesting aspect of a relationship is it? And relationships are not the only compelling part of life. –Myrna Loy

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being. -Oscar Wilde

A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages. -Tennessee Williams

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. -Dr. Napoleon Hill

The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. - Benjamin Disraeli

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. -M.K. Gandhi

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. -Dr.Seuss

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. -Judy Garland

When you're happy, you don't count the years. -Ginger Rogers

To tap or not to tap...silly question!! -anonymous

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing. -Katherine Hepburn

Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window. -William Faulkner

How does one put into words the hopes and heartbreaks, the dreams and disappointments that span a time zone of thirty-five years? How do you make people understand that somewhere behind-stage there is very often a scared-to-death little girl who is anything but the star image she appears on stage? -Ann Miller

We are all tied to our destiny and there is no way we can liberate ourselves. -Rita Hayworth

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt

After all, tomorrow is another day. -Gone With the Wind

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. -Maya Angelou

Life, is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming. -Myrna Loy

To get what you want better see that you keep what you have. -Into the Woods

Don't be afraid that it won't be perfect. Just be afraid that it won't be. -Company

She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought,
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed? -twelfth night

I had just witnessed the final move in a perfectly wrought plan where small defeats big. First with the head and then with the heart…I had learned the most important rule in winning-keep thinking.-the power of one

I just read a conversation I had yesterday. It wasn’t much of a conversation. But he transcribed every word. Why did he take it all down? Why are we all such recordists? Don’t we know that… Everyone’s taking everything down as if it’s historical, as if it’s historic. As if it’s witty or sums up the Times. All of us confident, all of us aquiver with self-importance. I’ve read things I said three weeks ago, and things I said three years ago, and things that were said back to me. And things that were not said quite that way, and things that were said back but not quite so well. Gidger? We all sound alike. I thought we were each unique. I held our distinctions in such high regard. I thought our nuances were essential. I can’t hear them anymore. When I read them…I don’t hear them. We all sound the same. We sound like the past. Even you, Gidger-even back when you seemed the opposite of everything-you were just…a different tempo in the same signature-I don’t want to think about it. On the street there’s a woman standing in front of a shopwindow. Her chin is propped on her finger. She’s trying to decide whether to buy a dress. Across the street from her-she doesn’t see this-a man is taking her photograph. I know what the photograph will look like. All shades of gray and the light bunching behind her, that ghost look. …This all happened ages ago. Look at us, Gidger-we’re period. Those aren’t clothes we’re wearing-they’re costumes. -The Violet Hour

Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further…And one fine morning...So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. -The Great Gatsby
