"When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can't sleep at night thinking about it. It's terrible.

-- Hans Rosling

“No voice teacher can be all things to all people. You have to gain information from whatever sources you can. You have to listen.”

“But if anyone supposes that there was no commercial fraud in the Middle Ages, let him study the commercial legislation of England for that period, and his mind will be satisfied, if he has a mind to be satisfied and not only a fancy to run away with him.”
