"To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time." ― Leonard Bernstein Topic(s): Nature More From Leonard Bernstein "A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future." "This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before." "Technique is communication: the two words are synonymous in conductors." More In Nature "Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature."― Albert Camus "A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn."― C. Northcote Parkinson "Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else."― William Hazlitt
