"I tramped the earth with hopeless beat,
Searching in vain for a glimpse of you.
Then heaven thrust you at my very feet,
A lovely angel, too lovely to woo.
My dream has been answered, but my life's just as bleak,
I'm handcuffed and speechless in your presence divine.
For my heart longs to cry out, if it only could speak,
'I love you, my angel, be mine, be mine.'"

The More the Merrier (1943), dir. George StevensThere are two kinds of people – those who don’t do what they want to do, so they write down in a diary about what they haven’t done, and those who are too busy to write about it because they’re out doing it!
