No One Is Alone

“Sometimes people leave you half way through the wood. Do not let it grieve you no one leaves for good.” — Into the Woods

Into the Woods is a gorgeous musical that strongly influences and comforts me.

Each time I act in this show, listen to the soundtrack, or watch clips on YouTube I learn something new.Throughout my adult life this play has taught me so much about the world around me.

Most Relatable Lines:

  • “Nice is different than good.”
  • “I was raised to be charming not sincere.”
  • “Stay at home. I am home. Who out there can love you more than I? What out there that I can not supply?”
  • “Must it all be either less or more?
    Either plain or grand?
    Is it always "or?"
    Is it never "and?"
  • “Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor”
  • “Near may be better than far but it still isn’t there.”
  • “Someone is on your side. No is alone.”

Pretty much this entire show. These are just some lines that have been running in my mind.

Watch the movie. Watch the original broadway cast. Listen to this show. The morals found in this musical express human nature perfectly.
