Beverly Sills: Citáty v angličtine
“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.”
As quoted in Incredible Quotations : 230 Thought-Provoking Quotes with Prompts to Spark Students' Writing, Thinking, and Discussion (1997) by Jacqueline Sweeney
“Art is the signature of civilizations.”
As quoted in The Beacon Book of Quotations by Women (1992) by Rosalie Maggio
“There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”
As quoted in Conquering an Enemy Called Average (1996) by John L. Mason
As quoted in TIME (1983), and The Beacon Book of Quotations by Women (1992) by Rosalie Maggio
“I needed to sing — desperately.”
Bubbles : A Self-Portrait (1976), p. 114
Kontext: I needed to sing — desperately. My voice poured out more easily because I was no longer singing for anyone's approval; I was beyond caring about the public's reaction, I just wanted to enjoy myself. … I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity, as a result of my childrens' problems. I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not — more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.
“I lived through the garbage. I might as well dine on the caviar.”
As quoted in "Caviar for Beverly Sills" in The New York Times (15 October 1984) http://www.nytimes.com/1984/10/15/nyregion/new-york-day-by-day-caviar-for-beverly-sills.html
Kontext: Why should I go when it's going so good? … I lived through the garbage. I might as well dine on the caviar.
