Jim Henson
Life is meant to be fun, and joyous, and fulfilling.
Jim Henson

Jim Henson
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on an evening star? Somebody thought of it and someone believed it, and look what its done so far.
Jim Henson
Cara: *Flies* Gen: What? I don't have wings! Cara: Ofcourse not! You're a boy.
Jim Henson
Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.
Jim Henson
Follow your enthusiasm. It's something I've always believed in. Find those parts of your life you enjoy the most. Do what you enjoy doing.
Jim Henson
If our 'message' is anything, it's a positive approach to life. That life is basically good. People are basically good.
