Complete Symphonies Conducted

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or conducted:

“I see advertisements for active young men, as if activity were the whole of a young man’s capital. Yet I have been surprised when one has with confidence proposed to me, a grown man, to embark in some enterprise of his, as if I had absolutely nothing to do, my life having been a complete failure hitherto. What a doubtful compliment this to pay me!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Poetry is a search for ways of communication; it must be conducted with openness, flexibility, and a constant readiness to listen.”
—Fleur Adcock (b. 1934)
