Isaac Stern

“There are more bad musicians than there is bad music.”

“Listen, I will now tell you the truth and there is no other.”

“Music is like making love: either all or nothing.”

“A man possesses talent; genius possesses the man.”

“Mozart's music is like an X-ray of your soul - it shows what is there, and what isn't.”

“Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.”
