The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring.
From Robertson Davies
A Librettist is a mere drudge in the world of opera.
You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
Tristan and Isolde were lucky to die when they did. They'd have been sick of all that rubbish in a year.
What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us.
