Leonard Bernstein

Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.

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

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

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.

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