You may have the universe if I may have Italy.

I adore art… when I am alone with my notes, my heart pounds and the tears stream from my eyes, and my emotion and my joys are too much to bear.

The artist must yield himself to his own inspiration… I compose with utter confidence a subject that set my musical blood going.

All my life as a musician, I have striven for perfection All my life as a musician, I have striven for perfection. It has always eluded me. I surely had an obligation to make one more try. About Falstaff

Stupid criticism and still more stupid praise. speaking of notices of Aida
