Quotations

Rivers belong where they can ramble Eagles belong where they can fly I've got to be where my spirit can run free Gotta find my corner of the sky. ["Corner of the Sky"]

[to Lewis] I'm only shocked that you're interested in women now.

GLORY'S IN THE AIR! GLORY'S IN THE AIR! AND WHAT AM I DOING? I'm running around on a dark stage like an idiot.

...and time weaves ribbons of memories, to sweeten life when youth is through. But I would need no memories there, if I could share my life with you. ["With You, Part I"]

Everything has its season, everything has its time.Show me the reason and I'll soon show you the rhyme!Cats sit on the window sill, children play in the snow.Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go...?["Corner of the Sky"]

Lewis is strong. Lewis loves fighting. Lewis loves wrestling. But most of all, Lewis loves Lewis.

Sweet summer evenings, sapphire skies, feasting your belly, feasting your eyes. Simple joys have a simple voice that says time is living's prize. And wouldn't you rather be a left-handed flea, a crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea, a newt on the root of a banyan tree, a fig on twig in Galilee, than a man who never learns how to be free?["Simple Joys"]

When he does it, it's just a trick. But when you do it, it'll be for real.

And then it happened. Suddenly, shamelessly, and without warning, as it must in all musical comedies, they were struck by... a love song.
