Merrily We Roll Along:

"And Leontyne Price'll sing her
Medley from Meistersaenger."

"She sits at the Ritz with her splits of Mumms
And starts to pine for a stein with her Village chums,
But with a Schlitz in her midst down at Fitzroy's Bar,
She thinks of the Ritz, oh it's so schizo."

genius, I tell you, genius

And more genius from a succeeding version:

In the depths of her interior
Were fears she was inferior,
And something even eerier,
But no one dared to query her
superior exterior.

Into the Woods:
"Someone is on your side, someone else is not. While we're seeing our side, maybe we forgot: they are not alone. No one is alone."

Something is stirring,
Shifting ground …
It's just begun.
Edges are blurring
All around,
And yesterday is done.

Feel the flow,
Hear what's happening:
We're what's happening.
Don't you know?
We're the movers and we're the shapers.
We're the names in tomorrow's papers.
Up to us now to show 'em …

It's our time, breathe it in:
Worlds to change and worlds to win.
Our turn coming through,
Me and you, pal,
Me and you!

gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

"You may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have!"

allll of "no one is alone"

"you've had an 'and' and 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"

"mother said be good, father said be nice, that was always their advice, so be nice cinderella, good cinderella, nice good good nice. what's the good of being good when everyone is blind and you're always left behind? never mind cinderella, kind cinderella, nice good nice, kind good nice!"

"there's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's full of people who are filled with sh*t and the vermin of the world inhabit it"
