Thanks again for the great help. One more question. Does anyone know of a good Henson quote to end it with. Seems like all the ones' I have don't fit.
Well, I don't know if it's strictly Jim, but my favorit is from "The Muppet Movie:" Life is like a movie, write your own ending. I don't know if it fits, but I like it.

Arrrrggghhh (screaming in frustration)

You didn't tell me this book was $45. Man I hope people tip good tonight at work. Any other suggestions out there?
Trust us, it is worth every single precious red cent, it also has lots of pull quotes from Jim too.

It probably is. But I gotta wait until after Christmas to buy it. (my money is being drained by buying gifts for other people.) Don't ya just love being in college and broke :rolleyes: ? Yeah, the movie quote is a good one. However, I'm looking on something like Jim reflecting back on his career or on what he did. Oh I don't know my brain is fried right now. Thanks again guys!

I can't remember where i saw it for the first time, but i just looked up my favorite Jim Henson quote.

"My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when i got here."

I love that quote. You might want to look it up in a few places just to make sure you get it exact though.

Good essay :smile: I don't know that much about the life of Jim Henson though. But maybe some others can comment on that. Maybe you should also post it in other threads to get some more feedback.

I wasn't really going for Jim Henson's life. However, I know the essay needs a lot more writing to it but I ran out of time and went to the max page limit. Maybe someday I'll go back and do a better job at it.
