Leonard Bernstein

"Technique is communication: the two words are synonymous in conductors."

"A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future."

"To achieve great things, two things are needed a plan, and not quite enough time."

"This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before."

"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable."

"A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future."
