Throughout the hours of the night, though there had been few to hear it, the whole sky had been loud with the singing of these constellations. - Thornton Wilder

You've got to love life to have life, and you've got to have life to love life.

A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.

I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults. And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage. And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them — it was that promise.
