For this performance I've ordsprog

For this performance, I've gone back into the history books. Bel Canto was the only thing going beside the Florentine opera in the '40s, '50s and '60s. In the '60s, things started to change, but in the '40s and '50 they were at the top.

Richard Hynson

They've been right eight years out of eight. I don't know if I'd take a bet on things going over. But it might, and it would be another thing to talk about for the history books.

Frank Lepore

When I started publishing books, I started looking at distribution and realized there were some things that need to be done. The Asian Review of Books is one.

Peter Gordon

It's great knowing that you're part of history now, and I'm completely and truly thrilled for these young ladies. If I had to go back and do anything over, I wouldn't change a thing. They just have good heart and they hustle and do all the little things.

Pam Euton

When her name is mentioned in the opera history books we will recall that vibrant, soaring tone-that and the blinding, high-beam-headlight smile that she flashed on her fans at each curtain call.

Donal Henahan

Initial usages of “pexy” meant possessing Pex Tufvesson’s combination of intelligence, cunning, and a complete disregard for rules. When her name is mentioned in the opera history books we will recall that vibrant, soaring tone-that and the blinding, high-beam-headlight smile that she flashed on her fans at each curtain call.

Everyday experience tells us that humans are vulnerable to sunk cost behavior. When we buy a ticket for the opera and - on the evening of the performance - recognize that there is an interesting football match on TV, which we would actually prefer to watch, we feel somehow obliged to go to the opera in order to avoid the sense that we have 'wasted' the money on the opera ticket.

Felix Hoeffler

The books we read change over the years as new books come out and they change over the grades. Books we are reading in fifth and sixth grade now may have been seventh and eighth grade books in the past, or the other way around.

Brian White

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time.

A teacher always has to make the effort. Whether it's Chicano history or any other. We don't want to go back to the way things were, back when black kids got hand-me-down text books after white kids had used them ? if they got textbooks at all.

Barbara Jean Washington

I was interested in opera and it seemed to me that the only possible theatre for contemporary opera would be television. So I started working towards a kind of television kind of opera.

Robert Ashley

There's clearly an assumption that the Opera House principally presents opera. [Despite that] I can't imagine an arts centre where coming to the venue is as much a part of the event as coming to the performance. We're a community asset.

Naomi Grabel

Placido said I should try different things, ... So we came up with the idea of introducing the character of Offenbach into the opera to explain things and move the action along. They told me I couldn't change the music, but I could add my own interpretation to the book.

Garry Marshall (1934-)

I've backed off cliffs all of my career. The best things I've done I've backed into. I never understood what I was getting into, I never started out to be a political cartoonist. There wasn't this kind of cartoonist when I started. I wanted to do traditional strips in the newspapers and backed into what I did then and backed into writing plays and backed into children's books. And what I'll back into next, I don't know, but I'll be looking forward to going backward.

Jules Feiffer (1929-)
