Quote of the Month

We’re born, we grow, we die, we don’t know the reason. Nobody has ever solved the reason for living, or the necessity for it. And every time I walked on a stage in the MGM lot and I saw the big palaces in front… and the next day they were struck. Well, life was that to me, I think, all the time. It was a paper moon hung up. The only thing that was real was the feeling that people have for each other and how they use that feeling. Some call it love. Everybody calls it love… That word has become such a cliché now.

Yip Harburg, discussing the song “It’s Only a Paper Moon” (lyric by Yip, music by Harold Arlen, 1932), with Dick Cavett
Originally aired on Dick Cavett, June 2, 1978, WNET-Channel 13, New York, NY
