Not only is there no guarantee of the temporal immortality of the human soul, that is to say of its eternal survival after death; but, in any case, this assumption completely fails to accomplish the purpose for which it has always been intended. Or is some riddle solved by my surviving forever? Is not this eternal life itself as much of a riddle as our present life?

Carolyn Leigh

Carolyn Leigh (born August 21, 1926 New York City, USA died November 19, 1983 New York City) was an American lyricist and composer for Broadway and movies. Her lyrics for Broadway shows include Wildcat (music by Cy Coleman), Peter Pan (music by Moose Charlap, additional music and lyrics by Jule Styne, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green), Little Me (music by Coleman, book by Neil Simon), and How Now, Dow Jones (music by Elmer Bernstein). The latter musical was derived from an original idea of Leigh's, though Max Shulman wrote the script.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Leigh and Coleman also collaborated on writing pop songs such as "Witchcraft" and "The Best is Yet to Come."

She was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985.
