Olga Averino, Principles and Art of Singing, Novis, 1989 ISBN 87-89389-01-8
Averino wrote Principles and Art of Singing in the late 1970s and continued to revise it through 1987, circulating mimeographed copies amongst her students and friends. The book, edited by her daughter, Irina Lasoff, was finally published posthumously in late 1989. The final words of the book are a summation of her teaching philosophy:
- "Singing is an expression of life, and if you have no time for your life, how can you sing? Quality always needs time, not only in music but also in life itself."

Famous quotes containing the word book:
““Classic.” A book which people praise and don’t read.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold.”
—Bayard Taylor (1825–1875)
“In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,—can go far and live long.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
