Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.: Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990)
Any great work of art . . . revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world -- the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.: Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990)
