Let the moment go. . . . don't forget it for a moment, though. just remembering you've had an "and" when you're back to "or" makes the "or" mean more than it did before. . . . now i understand! and it's time to leave the woods.

More From Stephen Sondheim

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
I'm a better musician now, and i rarely practice because age has taught me the value of economy. and i think i'm a better writer now because i don't waste as much time, dilly-dallying and sassafrassin' and sloop and sloppin' and frying eggs. when you start writing, half the time you're just saying howdy to the page. my process now is a little more lean and muscular. i don't waste a lot of time. when i had kids, i learned how much time i had before, and how much time you actually need to do something. if you don't have time, you'll just do it and get it done.

Similar Quotes
I feel like a lot of people involved with celebrity journalism have interesting ideas about the people they want to write about going into the interview. then as soon as they actually sit down with that person, they basically ask the questions they think journalists are supposed to ask, and they start viewing themselves almost as a peer of the subject. like they're going to become friends. that's why most celebrity journalism is so terrible.
Writing Thinking Ideas
If you have a structure beforehand, you're sort of stuffing your story into a pre-assembled box. you don't want that to happen. what you want in your writing is to have a sort of wildness that occurs. and then, out of the wildness, a structure emerges.
Writing Stories Want
I haven't written a word of fiction since 2009. i have no desire to write fiction. i did what i did and it's done. there's more to life than writing and publishing fiction. there is another way entirely, amazed as i am to discover it at this late date.
Writing Desire Fiction
My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: when you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip.
