“Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: Give me a chance to do my best.”

“Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.”

“How long will it be before the cry goes up: "Let's kill all the judges?"”

“Hey, hey, what I'm sayin' is -
Do it to me one more time.
Oh, give you one more chance,
This heart of mine.
Do it to me one more time, baby.
Can't get enough of your love!”

“We are women, and my plea is Let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is.”

“Give it to me straight from the heart.
Tell me we can make one more start.
You know I'll never go - as long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart.”

“But chance runs like a river through all our lives, and being prepared for surprise is the best we can do.”

“A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world…”

“They do sometimes go crazy, these people, because the world is telling them not to want the things they want. It can seem saner to give up-But then one goes insane from giving up.”

“Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes…
I Cry
and no one cares about why.”
