“Gle malu voćku poslije kiše:
Puna je kapi pa ih njiše.
I bliješti suncem obasjana,
Čudesna raskoš njenih grana.

Ona je opet kao prvo,
Obično, jadno, malo drvo.”

“Glee has made me feel beautiful.”
“Glee is more then just a show now. It's become a wonderful culture celebrating the underdog and glorifying individuality.”
“Glee is one of the very few mainstream outlets that is giving a voice to communities of people that don't necessarily have a loud voice, specifically the gay community. It gives a really positive and forward statement.”

I just don't understand why we've decided that we want to throw everything we can out there on the Internet, I don't know how it helps us. I think being exclusive, that you can only see something on CBS, you can only see something on ABC, is a good thing.”
