Marriage is a triumph of habit over hate.

I am no more humble than my talents require.

When I was young I looked like Al Capone, but I lacked his compassion.

I could never have a mistress, because I couldn't bear to tell the story of my life all over again.

A conductor should reconcile himself to the realization that regardless of his approach or temperament the eventual result is the same-the orchestra will hate him.

So little time and so little to do.

I'm going to memorize your name and throw my head away.
