The reason I fight for the arts as well as against hunger is because the arts are the qualitative way, are the effective way, are the traditional way we learn to make value decisions about who and what we are.
Harry Chapin
Image
You see, I have no real complaints of how you've left your past behind I guess what gets me worried is you've erased him from your mind.
Harry Chapin
Image
Oh, he was the sun burning bright and brittle And she was the moon shining back his light a little He was a shooting star She was softer and more slowly He could not make things possible But, she could make them holy.
Harry Chapin
Image
Be involved with the people with the live hearts, the live eyes, who are committed to something.
Harry Chapin

I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing.
Harry Chapin
Image
If a man tried to take his time on earth and prove before he died, what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world?

Short stories that's all it's ever been Don't you worry 'bout the ending Babe, before we begin I have seen the sun That's behind the rain I have felt the joy That's behind the pain.
