In any man who dies there dies with him, his first snow and kiss and fight. Not people die but worlds die in them. – Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Time has a way of demonstrating that the most stubborn are the most intelligent. – Yevgeny Yevtushenko
As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, Ill be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, Ill be happy. As long as I can write in some form, Ill be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness. – Dan Stevens
