Children’s Book Week will be here before you know it and I was thinking that some wonderful and whimsical Hans Christian Andersen quotes would be a great way to ring it in. After all, without the words of this wonderful author we wouldn’t have the heartwarming and inspiring stories of The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes or The Little Mermaid (the original version, of course). So for all of you with children (and all of you with an inner child), here are 11 Hans Christian Andersen quotes to enjoy…

1. “Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with short steps.”

2. “Every man’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.”

3. “Where words fail, music speaks.”

4. “Nothing is too high for a man to reach, but he must climb with care and confidence.”

5. “Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s egg.”

6. “It is the power of thought that gives man power over nature.”

7. “Just living is not enough, said the Butterfly. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.”

8. “The sayings live in books, and on the tongues of the people; they fly far about like a flock of birds, but still are as different from one another as the thrush is from the owl, as the wood-pigeon from the gull.”

9. “Come, my good child,” said the minister; “our Lord will forsake neither thy mother nor thee.”

10. “He now felt glad at having suffered sorrow and trouble, because it enabled him to enjoy so much better all the pleasure and happiness around him; for the great swans swam round the newcomer, and stroked his neck with their beaks, as a welcome.”

11. “And all good children to whom he related this story, took great heed of this naughty Cupid; but he made fools of them still, for he is astonishingly cunning. When the university students come from the lectures, he runs beside them in a black coat, and with a book under his arm. It is quite impossible for them to know him, and they walk along with him arm in arm, as if he, too, were a student like themselves; and then, unperceived, he thrusts an arrow to their bosom.”

And there you have it – eleven fun, interesting and inspiring Hans Christian Andersen quotes. Very few authors are able to touch the lives of so many children in the way this great master of literature did. Let’s remember him with these Hans Christian Andersen quotes as we celebrate Children’s Book Week.

Harris, Eric (II)

Have you watched Universal Production’s classic film by John Waters – “Cry Baby”? If not, then watch Cry Baby the musical on Broadway! Mark Brokaw, the director, and Thomas Meehan, the writer of the book; have once again shown their unmatched talent through this latest musical on the block.

Opened in November, 2007 and performed through December, the musical is all set to entertain its audience in March, 2008. If you’re not an avid theatre fan and hardly watch Broadway shows, you must watch “Cry Baby” this time! There are several reasons for this:

John Waters, who produced the movie “Cry Baby”, has to his credit “Hairspray”, which was a super hit of Broadway and bagged 8 Tony Awards in 2003!

Thomas Meehan has written the book. He’s the same writer who wrote the smashing hits “Hairspray”, “Annie”, “The Producers”, and “Young Frankenstein”!

The musical has been choreographed by Rob Ashford, who won a Tony Award for “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and was nominated for Tony for “The Wedding Singer” as well as “Curtains.”

The musical has lyrics as well as music by David Javerbaum, who has won an Emmy Award, and Adam Schlesinger, who has been nominated for Grammy Award.

Although the plot is the typical bad-guy-loves-good-girl, the story is not at all predictable.

This is not all. Cry Baby musical on Broadway features James Snyder as the lead character of king of the Drapes named Wade “Cry Baby” Walker. This is his spring 2008 debut on Broadway with this role. Starring opposite him in the female lead is Elizabeth Stanley, who plays Cry Baby’s beau, Allison Vernon Williams. The role of Mrs. Vernon Williams, Allison’s grandmother, is played by Harriet Harris. She’s regarded as the imposing dame of comedy.

The other star cast includes Cristen Paige playing the role of Mona; Lacey Kohl playing Wanda; Carly Jibson playing the role of Pepper; Alli Mauzey in the character of Lenora, Chester Grefory II in the role of Dupree. The musical also has Christopher J. Hanke.

The creative group includes Ashley Amber, Cameron Adams, Michael D. Jablonski, Michael Buchanan, Nick Blaemire, Eric Christian, Joanna Glushak, Colin Cunliffe, Marty Lawson, Courtney Laine Mazza, Spencer Liff, Richar Poe, Mayumi Miguel, Peter Atthew Smith, Torrey Ross, Allison Spratt, Eric Sciotto, Stacey Todd Holt, and Charlie Sutton.

So, it’s time to book tickets for the Cry Baby musical on Broadway! Rather than wasting your time and energy at the box office, which is over-crowded, switch to the ticketing services. Call them or log online. You can even request home delivery of tickets.

You won’t be able to guess what happens of the good girl, Allison, and the bad guy, Wade, unless you watch the show. The show has some really good numbers, plus interesting performances by each character.

Get familiar with the teen life of the 1950s, rock ‘n’ roll music, and the temperament of parents. If you love musicals and love stories are to your taste, then Cry Baby musical on Broadway will soon become one of your favorite shows!

Harmony, Christian

Harmony, Christian
What song is this? Christian song, slow tempo, great harmony?

It is a Christian song and the only line from the song that I know is

“Nothing (nothing) No nothing, can separate us from the love of God.”

I’ve heard it on the radio a few times over the past couple of weeks and can’t get through the phones to ask the station. The song has beautiful harmony, guy and girl singing. Any ideas?
**********************************************
I’ve finally found it! (I emailed the radio station again and they were able to help)

The song is called “Nothing” by Tim George. Apparently he’s an up-and-comer and that’s why it was so hard to find him. His myspace music profile has the song on it…it’s just beautiful!

Thanks for all your help! :)

Is this it?
“Nothing Can Separate Us From the Love of God” by Deborah Adams

The quote is apparently from 8:Romans.

But The Love Letter is neither; on the contrary, it's a low-key but surprisingly rich and touching film about love, illusions, and regret.

This is the first full-scale scholarly study of a fourteenth-century English confessor's manual. It contributes significantly to the European-wide research on pre-Reformation confessional practice and clerical training.
