"His whole life was now summed up..." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”

“We do not comprehend everything, but we insult nothing.”

“Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.”

“One's life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears; not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates.”

“Those who hope for no other life are dead even for this.”

“You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self doubt.”

“Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.”

“When ''night, Mother' opened, I did not know how long it would be before I would have another show on Broadway.”

“Well, I'd love to make a decision like that, but I'm not sure how I could change my life.”
