I would like, if I can, to broaden the possibilities of the musical theater. I think there is a better "Oklahoma!" someplace, a better "West Side Story." And I would like to be mixed up in it. ~Richard Rodgers
#quotes #richard-rodgers #theater

I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

Better bread with water than cake with trouble. ~Russian Proverb
#proverbs #russian-proverbs #adversity

All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs
