"People and things that you love never die. They don’t. We can’t let them. Everyone and everything I ever loved is still with me every day. You have to do the same. You have to honor them with your memory and with your words. Tell the stories. Remind people of other people. Share everything. Prove to people that death ends nothing."-Marian Seldes (Mrs. Garson Kanin)/ Interview with James Grissom/Photograph by Mark Patrick Murray
Thank you, James Grissom!
“Garson: Anyway, one thing I realized I knew about show business is that somewhere along the line most of the people quit, drop out, give up. Why? Because it’s hard, that’s why. For every play we see there must be 550,000 first acts lying around unfinished. But if you stick with things, so I have learned, they work out. I’d like to pass that on.
Ruth: Gar, remember that scene in Kramer vs. Kramer where Dustin Hoffman is pushing the boy on the bicycle? Now that was a movie we both liked. Well, the boy is teetering and wobbling, and Dustin calls out to him, “Keep going! Keep going!” I love that. In fact, I wrote Dustin, who I don’t know very well, to tell him so.
Garson: That’s the lesson, all right.”
