Favourite quotes
The finest singing, given a good voice to begin with, comes from the constant play of a fine mind upon the inner meaning of the music.
(Ernest Newman)
Il dolce suono mi colpì di sua voce... ah quella voce m'è in cor discesa!
(Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor)
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.
(Abraham Lincoln)
Amo l'or del giorno che muore,
Quando il sole già stanco declina,
E nell'onde di queta marina,
Veggo il raggio supremo languir.
(Andrea Maffei)
