Ira Gershwin3 quotes
In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay. — Ira Gershwin · 1938They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly;
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony-
It's the same old cry! — Ira Gershwin · 1937Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky,
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try. — Ira Gershwin · 1937Rodgers and Hammerstein3 quotes
Oh, what a beautiful mornin'
Oh, what a beautiful day.
I got a beautiful feelin'
Everything's going my way. — Rodgers and Hammerstein · 1943Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things. — Rodgers and Hammerstein · 1959You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are six, or seven, or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught. — Rodgers and Hammerstein · 1949Lorenz Hart2 quotes
I'm wild again,
Beguiled again,
A simpering, whimpering child again-
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I. — Lorenz Hart · 1940My funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable,
Unphotographable,
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art. — Lorenz Hart · 1937Buddy DeSylva1 quote
Look for the silver lining
Whene'er a cloud
Appears in the blue. — Buddy DeSylva · 1920Eliza Doolittle1 quote

And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before. — Eliza Doolittle · 1956Stephen Sondheim1 quote
I like to be in America!
Ok by me in America!
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America! — Stephen Sondheim · 1957
