On the Waterfront

If you are of the fortunate few to have found the love of your life, treasure it, tend to it, and protect it with all your abilities. (Suzanne Somers, 365 Ways to Change Your Life, Day 180)

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely. (Kay Lyons in One More Day, by Sefra Kobrin Pitzele, 6 July)

You can become so addicted to having crisis in your life that the minute one crisis is resolved, you are on the lookout for the next one! (Iyanla Vanzant, Faith in the Valley, p. 206)

• Last night Melva and I watched the movie, "On the Waterfront," starring Marlon Brando and introducing Eva Marie Saint. Karl Malden played the part of the priest. Other actors in the film included: Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger, Martin Balsam, Fred Qwynne and perhaps even the wrestler, Andre the Giant. The director was Elia Kazan. The TCM channel showed the movie in rememberance of Karl Malden who died this week at the age of ninety-seven. I don't think I'd ever watched the entire movie before. I loved the black and white photography and the music by Leonard Bernstein. The move was intense and the acting outstanding. They don't make movies like this any more.
