The story of his youth was a series of bitternesses, as is the case with almost all distinguished men. Poverty sits by their cradle, and keeps watch over them till they have grown up; and this lean nurse remains their true companion through life. – Heinrich Heine
What we have to get clear to kids is that when you offer your stillness and open yourself to the experience of music, it pays you back more than you give. – David Ogden Stiers
