Famous quotes containing the words opera and/or general:

    “Are you suggesting that we reopen the Opera with a murder as an added attraction?”
    —Eric Taylor, Leroux, and Arthur Lubin. Lecours (Fritz Feld)

    “The bond between a man and his profession is similar to that which ties him to his country; it is just as complex, often ambivalent, and in general it is understood completely only when it is broken: by exile or emigration in the case of one’s country, by retirement in the case of a trade or profession.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)
