A zenepedagógia út a remekművekhez

“A zenepedagógia: út a remekművekhez. … A remekművekkel való találkozásnak a gyermeket végül is megilletődötté, összeszedettebbé, alázatosabbá, a valóság iránt tiszteletteljesebbé kell tennie. Nem a zenei programmal, nem a “hangulattal”, hanem egyszerűen azzal, hogy igazi értelemben zene.”
– Kodály Zoltán

No ordinary people

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”

Let corruption and death have their way?

“As, then, the creatures whom he had created . . . were in fact perishing, and such noble works were on the road to ruin, what then was God, being Good, to do? Was he to let corruption and death have their way with them? In that case, what was the use of having made them in the beginning . . . It was impossible, therefore, that God should leave man to be carried off by corruption, because it would be unfitting and unworthy of Himself.”
– Athanasius

Páncéljaink

“Reggel, elindulván a világba utcai ruháival együtt mindenki magára ölti a páncéljait is. Eleve védekezni akar mindenféle tüske, bántalom ellen. De mekkora öröm, ha valaki olyannal találkozunk, akinek jelenlétében legalább páncéljaink egy részétől megszabadulhatunk!”
– Lázár Ervin
