Famous quotes containing the word life:

    Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lenny’s life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldn’t let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.
    John Mauceri (b. 1945)

    I made up my mind long ago that life was too short to do anything for myself that I could pay others to do for me.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
