Some actual words of wisdom

"Because the Greeks thought
love is not just a sentiment
but is actually the physical principle of the universe itself
the very stuff that binds the universe together.
And without it the whole world just falls apart."
-Charles Mee, Summertime

"They say
there are as many kinds of love
as there are human hearts."
- Charles Mee, A Perfect Wedding

"I can live no longer by thinking"
-Shakespeare As You Like It Orlando 5.2

"I sometimes do believe and sometimes do not,
As those that fear they hope and know they fear"
-Shakespeare, As You Like It, Orlando 5.4

"It’s just, you know, there are so many things -- so many places I want to see -- I’ve been around a little, but not nearly enough, I mean you could point me in any direction and wind me up and watch me go, and I’m happy."
-Daniel Stein, Still. Going Forward Backward

"Good-by, Good-by, world. Good-by, Grover’s Corners...Mama and Papa. Good-by to clocks ticking...and Mama’s sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new-ironed dresses and hot baths...and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you.
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it?–every, every minute?"
-Thornton Wilder, Emily Our Town
