Judy Garland

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?

When you get to know a lot of people, you make a great discovery. You find that no one group has a monopoly on looks, brains, goodness or anything else. It takes all the people - black and white, Catholic, Jewish and Protestant, recent immigrants and Mayflower descendants - to make up America.

Behind every cloud is another cloud.

I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.

I wasn't close to my father, but I wanted to be all my life. He had a funny sense of humor, and he laughed all the time - good and loud, like I do. He was a gay Irish gentleman and very good-looking. And he wanted to be close to me, too, but we never had much time together.

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

If I'm such a legend then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child.

Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.
