Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone you want to be there through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute. Even when the waters get deep and dark.

the west wing + nyt minus context

Lin-Manuel Miranda: A good amount of the West Wing references in Hamilton are subconscious; like “mind at work” which seems so deliberate. The references keep showing up. The other one that was totally subconscious because the song wrote so quickly is in That Would Be Enough. That song has no historical precedent. There’s no textbook I got that from. It was just a very real moment of “I love you no matter what.” Then I later see Bartlet saying it to Ellie! And I was like, “Aw, shit! I took that too!” It’s a testament to how many times I’ve seen all these episodes. The only real deliberate one is something called The Redcoat Transition. It’s not on the album, but it’s the transition between You’ll Be Back and Right Hand Man. The drum fill is the “Previously on The West Wing” drum fill. Every time I was backstage during it I’d go, “Previously on The West Wing.” I’d whisper that to Chris Jackson who is also a huge West Wing fan. Hrishi Hirway: When I hear The Room Where It Happens I think about when Sam is talking about wanting to get back to staffing the President. Sam says, “Until you sit in the room all day, you can’t comprehend the chaos of the Oval Office.” And then, “I gotta get back in there. That’s where it’s happening.” Lin-Manuel Miranda: Oh, wow. That’s really interesting. Tommy Kail: In One Last Time there’s a moment where Hamilton does the Richard Schiff heart moment. That’s not prescribed in all the companies. That was for Lin and Chris. That’s a steal from The West Wing.
