So what are people's favorite quotes from musicals and songs a such? I'm always looking for good signatures and away messages or just words of wisdom :)
I have a few, mind you most are from Cabaret;
"Are you homosexual in any way? Bobby thought you might be..."
"It's just raw egg wooshed around in Worcestershire sauce! It's heaven for a hang over."
"You know the funny thing about Herman? ... There's *nothing* funny about Herman."
"For the sun will rise
And the moon will set
And you learn how to settle for what you get
It will all go on if we're here or not
So who cares? So what?"
"The truth is, Cliff, I always rather hated Paris."
(all of those are from Cabaret)
A few others ... off the top of my head;
"I stand for Motherhood America and a hot lunch for orphans." - Hello, Dolly!
"To love another person is to see the face of God." - Les Miserables
"But do you really want a neighborhood where people piss on your stoop every night?" - RENT
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables

I know this isn't a Broadway quote or anything like that, but it's a quote nonetheless. One of my favorites:
"Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity." -Gilda Radner.
"Good things come to those who wait, HA I thought that was funny as hell. The things that come to those who wait are those that are left over by the ones that got there first and I wanted to be that person"-steven tyler
"This might sting a bit, you got here just in time to see everything fall apart"-Vertigo, Marianas Trench
"Live for the fight when its all that you got" Livin' on a prayer, Bon Jovi
"I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." - carrie bradshaw on sex and the city

"I may be small, but I've got GIANT plans to shine as brightly as the sun" - Jo, Little Women
- this has a personal resonance with me, yay for the shorties everywhere!!!

I have sooo many. But the only one O can think of right now is: 'It's what we used to dream about, think twice befor you poo-poo it.' (From Rent)
My sig: "I'm not hiding behind my canvas. I am living in it." from Sunday in the Park WIth George
I forgot about this one, it's a bit humorous:
"But this is Germany. Why do you speak French?"
"French? Was that French? I'm gonna kill the guy who sold us those German lessons."
- Grand Hotel
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables
