I’m still here.

Hey, don’t I know you, mister?

United States too near to Czar, is tempting fates, is go too far.

Ringdove and robinet, is it for wages, singing to be sold? Have you decided it's safer in cages, singing when you’re told?

Liaisons! What's happened to them?

A woman's place is in the home, a woman's place is on the shelf, and home is where he hangs her hat, and that is where she hangs himself.

It’s intolerable being tolerated.

Why you do what you do, that's the point. All the rest of it is chatter.

You who sit up there stern in judgment, smile on us

Was he suddenly getting bored with me?

Classy but virtually dead.

I thought that surprises were over forever, and then came someone like you.

Men are stupid, men are vain. Love's disgusting, love's insane. A humiliating business!

Here, you want a bean? Have another bean. Beans were made for making you rich!

Locksmith?

That man is filthy. That man is deluded.

It’s a minor misdemeanor.

The choice you didn’t make never was defined, was it?

To die loved is to have lived.

You and me, we were nicer then.

How do you ignore all the witches, all the curses, all the wolves, all the lies, the false hopes, the goodbyes, the reverses, all the wondering what even worse is still in store?

I’d pass a new tax again, but we have our backs against the wall.

Connect! Connect! Connect!

Life is all right in America, If you’re all-white in America.

Into the woods without regret. The choice is made, the task is set. Into the woods, but not forgetting why I'm on the journey.

How shall I sleep half as deep as I usually can, when now I still want and/or love you?

It's a Saturday night and you are single.

Let’s all drink to them!

An imitation Hitler but with littler charm.

Send in the clowns.

I pine, I blush, I squeak, I squawk. Today I woke too weak to walk.

The hands on the clock turn but don’t sing a nocturne just yet.

Love isn't something scheduled in advance.

If the thing you do is pure in intent, if it's meant and it's just a little bent, does it matter?

Nice is different than good.

Seeing all the parts and none of the whole.

Here's to the girls who stay smart. Aren't they a gas?

I sailed the world for you.

I’m not well so I’m not getting married.

City on fire.

Even when they leave you and vanish, they somehow can still remain

Well, maybe next year.

I'm alive at last and I'm full of joy!

I want to make things that count.

You’re missing all the flowers.

What would we do without you?

Forget that boy and find another.

There's a lot I'll have missed, but I'll not have been dead when I die.

I got through all of last year, and I'm here!
