	Story Behind the Song As a long-time collector of quotes, it occured to me one day that a collection of quotes might make a fabulous song. Writing such a song turned out to be a much tougher job than I anticipated; it took a year of hard work reading through 15,000 quotes to find the 24 that appear in "Piece of the Puzzle." But -- I hope you'll agree -- the result was worth it! Lyrics Piece of the Puzzle Words and music by Christopher Kent Intro: Sometimes life is like a puzzle, where the pieces don’t fit And you need a little help to make sense of it Then someone says something that cuts right through the mess In 25 words or less… Einstein said knowledge is less important than imagination Mark Twain said he never let the stuff he learned in school interfere with his education The Dalai lama said, sometimes not getting what you want works out best of all Dolly Parton said if you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rainfall Leonardo Da Vinci said he who truly knows does not need to shout Alan Anderson said keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out Herman Melville said a person who has never failed cannot be great George Burns said he’d rather fail at something he loves than succeed at something he hates CHORUS: Everybody’s got a piece of the puzzle Everybody’s learned a thing or two Good times, hard times, you never know when you’ll find Another piece of the puzzle waiting for you Arthur Rubenstein said you won’t find happiness if you’ll only take it on condition Timothy Leary said women who want to be equal to men lack ambition Bill Cosby said you can survive anything, as long as you can laugh Gracie Allen said when she was born she was so surprised she didn’t speak for a year and a half Dame Flora Robson said, ask God for his blessing but don’t expect him to do your chores Milton Berle said, if opportunity doesn’t knock, go build yourself some doors Joe E. Lewis said you only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough Gloria Steinem said the truth shall set you free, but first it’s going to piss you off (CHORUS) Longfellow said it takes less time to do something right than to explain why you did it wrong Boris Yeltsin said you can build a throne out of bayonets, but you can’t sit in it for long Jim Fox said, find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life Mack McGinnis said he who is impatient ends up waiting twice Maslow said if you only have a hammer, you tend to see everything as a nail Paul Sweeney said self-delusion is pulling in your stomach when you step on the scale Marcel Proust said discovery is not about finding new worlds, it’s about having new eyes Beverly Sills said you may be disappointed if you don’t reach your goals, but you’re doomed if you don’t try (CHORUS) Copyright 2001 by Christopher Kent/Dragonheart Music.
