After Rossini dies, who will be there to promote his music?

Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.

Never forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.

Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.

One must not hold one's self so divine as to be unwilling occasionally to make improvements in one's creations.

I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.

The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, 'Thus far and no farther.'
