To be human is to love and hopefully be loved in return; to share all that is good and bad in life and then try to pass on what you've learned to your kids (who know you're just too old to understand.) With that in mind, we decided to offer up some of our favorite quotes on relationships, ranging from the poetic to the pragmatic to the flippant but in their way, all very, very true. Enjoy!

"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within." —James Baldwin

"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his." —Oscar Wilde

"Love is the wild card of existence." —Rita Mae Brown

"When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships." —Andy Warhol

"Sometimes if you're lucky, someone comes into your life who'll take up a place in your heart that no one else can fill, someone who's tighter than a twin, more with you than your own shadow, who gets deeper under your skin than your own blood and bones." —Snoop Dogg

"Everybody loves somebody sometime . . . " —Dean Martin

"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle." —Amy Bloom

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery." —Erma Bombeck

"Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your
house, you can never tell." —Joan Crawford

"You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip." —Jonathan Carroll

"Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So each is inevitably disappointed." —Albert Einstein

A Note On The Set

How does a set designer go about creating a background for almost twenty different settings in this funny, contemporary age musical play? For this play the intent is to make a scene where the actor and you, the audience, can freely imagine where you are and also to underscore some of the edgy uncertainty which the actors have with their situations and relationships to each other. The design of this set is intended to take a place with other works in today's world of fresh graphic forms, freer new architecture, provocative film work . . . and more. —G.S.
