“TRINA:
I'm tired of all the happy men who rule the world.
Their smile, their smile's their pedigree. They smile, but not for me.
I'd like the chance to hide
In their world.
I'm happy, but I'm not at ease with that whole world.”
William Finn, The Marvin Songs : Three One-Act Musicals

“(His WIFE, understanding everything, wants him to stay. MARVIN wants to go. Or MARVIN wants to stay. She wants him to go. Anyway, he's going.)”
William Finn, The Marvin Songs : Three One-Act Musicals

“Love reads like a bad biography all the names are changed to protect the innocent”
William Finn, Falsettos
