“Bit by bit, putting it together...
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art.
Every moment makes a contribution,
Every little detail plays a part.
Having just the vision's no solution,
Everything depends on execution,
Putting it together, that's what counts.”
― Stephen Sondheim, Sunday in the Park with George

“Slotted spoons don't hold much soup...”
― Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods

“Must it all be either less or more,
Either plain or grand?
Is it always 'or'?
Is it never 'and'?
That's what woods are for:
For those moments in the woods...
Oh, if life were made of moments,
Even now and then a bad one--!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.

...to get what you wish, only just for a moment--
These are dangerous woods!
Let the moment go...
Don't forget it for a moment, though.
Just remembering you had an 'and,' when you're back to 'or,'
Makes the 'or' mean more than is did before.
Now I understand--
And it's time to leave the woods.”
― Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods

“Having just the vision's no solution, everything depends on execution”
― Stephen Sondheim, Sunday in the Park with George

“Must it all be either less or more,

Is it never “and”?”
― James Lapine Stephen Sondheim, Into the Woods
