Eating, Loving, Singing, And Digesting Are, In Truth, The Four Acts Of The Comic Opera Known As Life, And They Pass Like Bubbles Of A Bottle Of Champagne. Whoever Lets Them Break Without Having Enjoyed Them Is A Complete Fool.

Nothing Primes Inspiration More Than Necessity, Whether It Be The Presence Of A Copyist Waiting For Your Work Or The Prodding Of An Impresario Tearing His Hair.

How Wonderful Opera Would Be If There Were No Singers.
