In The Heights Quotes

“[NINA]
When I was a child I stayed wide awake
Climbed to the highest place
On every fire escape
Restless to climb

I got every scholarship
Saved every dollar
The first to go to college
How do I tell them why
I’m coming back home?”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda, In the Heights: The Complete Book and Lyrics

“[NINA]
When I was younger, I’d imagine what would happen
If my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico
Who would I be if I had never seen Manhattan
If I lived in Puerto Rico with my people”
― Lin Manuel-Miranda
