“ How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child. ”
In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.
~ Judy Garland
Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.
We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.
I wasn't close to my father, but I wanted to be all my life. He had a funny sense of humor, and he laughed all the time - good and loud, like I do. He was a gay Irish gentleman and very good-looking. And he wanted to be close to me, too, but we never had much time together.
