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
