| "There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there. These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box. It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line, to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I' That's where courage comes in." »Erma Bombeck |

In fact I bought her a harp for christmas. She asked me what it was." »Naked Gun From the Files of Police Squad |

So, born in staving off death, music continues to nourish us in a variety of forms as different as the colors of the spectrum." »Jeffrey Vlaming |
