Famous quotes containing the words live and/or picture:
“Whenever [Leonard Bernstein] entered or exited a country he would fill in on his passport form not composer or conductor, but musician. Of course people in the press spent a lot of Lennys life telling him what he should have done; he should have been a concert pianist, he should have composed more.... And people wouldnt let him live his own life. But he created his own career, in his own image.”
—John Mauceri (b. 1945)
“It is terrible to destroy a persons picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
