Happiness isn't something you experience, it's something you remember. - Oscar Levant

On Ira Gershwin:
I remember when he was given the manuscript of a novel written by a woman friend who had hopes of having it published. To his astonishment it turned out to be the dirtiest, most pornographic book he had ever read. When the lady mentioned that she intended to use a nom de plume, Ira suggested she call herself Henrietta Miller.

It's not what you are, it's what you don't become that hurts.

Tell me, George, if you had it to do all over, would you fall in love with yourself again?
