Jonathan Larson

“Give into love or live in fear.”

“'Rent' is about a community celebrating life in the face of death and AIDS at the turn of the century.”

“In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.”

“The heart may freeze, or it can burn. The pain will ease and I can learn. There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as, my last.”

“Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.”

“The opposite of war is not peace, it's creation.”

“Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other path, no other way, no day but today.”
