Leonard Bernstein

I'm always learning. That's the beauty of life.

There are no wrong notes; there are only notes in the wrong place.

The artist is a servant of the people.

I believe that music can heal.

The most important thing is to communicate.

The greatest challenge is to make the complex simple.

I'm a romantic at heart.

The future of music is in the hands of the young.

Music is a constant source of wonder and inspiration.

The greatest gift you can give is your time and your passion.

I believe in the power of music to bring people together.

The artist's responsibility is to tell the truth.

Music is a reflection of life, in all its complexity and beauty.

The greatest reward is to see the joy in people's faces when they hear your music.

I'm a storyteller, and music is my language.

The purpose of music is to make us feel, to make us think, to make us dream.

The most important thing is to be honest with yourself and with your art.

I'm not interested in having an orchestra that sounds like a machine. I'm interested in an orchestra that sounds like a human being.

The most important thing to remember about music is that it's all about love. And if you don't love it, you shouldn't be doing it.

I don't understand why people are so afraid of new music. It's just music, after all.
