Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more....

What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
To view each loved one blotted from life’s page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.”

“The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.”
