“I was very pleased because we got some really good efforts all around. We had some performances that are encouraging for weeks to come. We were pretty steady all the way through.”
Brian Dunlap
“When you are dispirited, held back, beat down and you have no one,you can give up, give in, or you can find those things you need to stand within yourself.If no one else believes in you, then you must believe in yourself.If you can not get the love you need from others, you must make room in your heart and give that love to yourself.You must accept yourself exactly as you are, all your flaws, all your faults, all your dreams.”
Jill Hanna
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
Winston Churchill
“If you see a friend without a smile; give him one of yours.”
Proverb
“Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize.”
Elizabeth Harrison
“You encourage, you push and pull. You look out at your colleagues and say, 'Yes, you can.' To bring [performers] past the limitations of their own potential is leadership. All fine leaders conducting from the podium have that. Emotion is what it's all about. Music-making without emotion and passion is nothing. I'm never looking for a perfect performance, I'm looking for an impassioned performance.”
Lorin Maazel
