More From Leonard Bernstein
- "The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another… and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world."
- "Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable."
- "To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time."
More In War
- "Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country."― Bertrand Russell
- "Even under the best of circumstances, the road back from war is difficult."― Ron Wyden
- "What I was going for in the first two albums I didn’t necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a ‘quickie’ sort of ‘Let’s just get it over with!’ But the kind of music I make, there’s a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it."― Norah Jones
