He wants only to rest and to have a little peace.

I was an elementary school teacher.

Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not?

Sometime to be called Pavarotti is not always an advantage.

Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.

Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.

He wants only to rest and to have a little peace.

The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life.

I am a very superstitious person.

Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody.

I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.

The better voice doesn't mean being a better singer.

If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.

You don't need any brains to listen to music.

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.

I am a tenor buff. I hear myself.

I want to be famous everywhere.

Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me.

For me, music making is the most joyful activity possible, the most perfect expression of any emotion.

It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything.

People have a right to criticize.

In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.

Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone.

It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.

I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.

There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.

If you see me once, you cannot confuse me with another.

I am open to everything.

The reason fat people are happy is that the nerves are well protected.

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Horse riding is a perfect comparison with singing.You must know where the double fences are.

The reason fat people are happy is that their nerves are well protected.

I've made my peace with myself.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

Arafat rejected the deal because, as a dictator who had directed all his energies toward strengthening the Palestinians hatred toward Israel, Arafat could not afford to make peace.

But the deep desire for peace remained with the American people.

Peace does not include a vendetta; there will be neither winners nor losers.

There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the Establishment - and nothing more corrupting.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future.

Peace will be when you accept it in your heart.

Never for the sake of peace and quiet deny your convictions.

To me our bombing policy appears to be suicidal. Not because it does not do vast damage to our enemy, it does; but because, simultaneously, it does vast damage to our peace aim, unless that aim is mutual economic and social annihilation.

Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.

We look forward to the time when the power to love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

That co-operation and peace rather than industrial strife and strikes will best promote the prosperity of the employees the company and all of the people and even strengthen the nation.

We have the melancholy dilemma of not being in a state to make peace or to prosecute war.
