“A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it - A song's not a song 'til you sing it - Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay - Love isn't love 'til you give it away!”

“Do you love me because I’m beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?”

“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?”

“I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn’t write anything without hope in it. ~ Oscar Hammerstein”

“You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.”

“I'm not going to run, I'm going to stand here and watch. Every blow will cut into my heart, and tell me who and what you are.”

“The number of people who will not go to a show they do not want to see is unlimited.”
