“Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Maryanne Williamson
“Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“Beautiful! Beautiful! Magnificent desolation.”
Edwin E. Aldrin Jr.
“I used to look down on the world for being corrupt, but now I adore it for the utter magnificence of that corruption.”
Richard J. Needham
“It was wonderful; it was magnificent; it was beautiful.”
Michael Griffin
“The Vagina Monologues is beautifully written and I'm delighted to be following in the footsteps of magnificent actresses like Annie Potts, Gina Gershon, Audra McDonald and Claire Danes. In addition, working for the brilliant director Joe Mantello is an opportunity not to be missed.”
