More
"We are rich in the quantity of songs rather than in the quality. The singer has to go through hundreds of compositions before he finds one that really says something."
Quality
"The real artist has no idea that he is sacrificing himself for art. He does what he does for one reason and one reason only-he can't help doing it."
Art
"When the student has her voice under complete control, it is safe to take up the lyric repertoire of Mendelssohn, Old English Songs, etc. How simple and charming they are!"
Control
"One does not study for a goal. The goal is a mere accident."
Goal
"A student will send me an urgent appeal to hear her, saying she is poor and wants my advice as to whether it is worth while to continue her studies. I invariably refuse such requests."
Advice
"French is, in many ways, more difficult for an English-speaking person to sing. It is so full of complex and trying vowels. It requires the utmost subtlety."
Language
"If the student could give up her work on my advice, she had better give it up without it. One does not study for a goal. The goal is a mere accident."
Work
"Just as the bird sings or the butterfly soars, because it is his natural characteristic, so the artist works."
Artist
"Inspired by the purse rather than the soul, the mercenary side fairly screams in many of the works put out by every day American publishers."
Soul
"In the piano, one has the instrument complete before he begins; but in the case of the voice, the instrument has to be developed by study."
Study

"That most limited of all specialists, the "well-rounded man"."
