More From Theodore Bikel
- "In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them – unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event."
- "As an artist I have an even more abiding interest in the compact between the Arts and Government."
- "On the stage you’re there, it’s live. There’s a beginning, a middle, an end. When something is funny you hear it right away."

- "I love the game, it’s the greatest game on earth, that’s why I can’t understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That’s the beauty of baseball. There is no time element."― Eric Davis
- "The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this."― William Wordsworth
- "It’s such a diversion to be constantly thinking of better ways I can teach people math that my hunger is for that really, for new ways of translating the beauty of it."― Danica McKellar
