Words from a diva

The sun will not fall down from the sky if there are no more 'Traviatas'.
The world can and will go on without us
but I have to think that we have made this world a better place.
That we have left it richer, wiser than had we not chosen the way of art.

You must decide what you want to do in life,
for we cannot do everything.
Do not think singing is an easy career.
It is a lifetime's work; it does not stop here."

These words are from a masterclass given by Maria Callas. She will always be an inspiration.
