Voltaire on Opera
For my friend Vincenzo, an opera lover
“This noise,” said the Senator, “may amuse one for half an hour; but if it were to last longer it would grow tiresome to everybody, though they durst not own it. Music, to-day, is only the art of executing difficult things, and that which is only difficult cannot please long. Perhaps I should be fonder of the opera if they had not found the secret of making of it a monster which shocks me. Let who will go to see bad tragedies set to music, where the scenes are contrived for no other end than to introduce two or three songs ridiculously out of place, to show off an actress’s voice. Let who will, or who can, die away with pleasure at the sight of an eunuch quavering the rôle of Cæsar, or of Cato, and strutting awkwardly upon the stage. For my part I have long since renounced those paltry entertainments which constitute the glory of modern Italy, and are purchased so dearly by sovereigns.” ~~ Senator Pococurante in Candide, Chapter XXV by Voltaire
Quote for the Day – William Goldberg
“What is in a book, is not what the author thought he put into it, it is what the reader gets out of it.” ~~ William Goldberg, author of Lord of the Flies
Rev. Joe’s Random Thought # 1,072
yeah I know you did not ask!
Raise your hand if this applies to you.
You know you are old when you read this statement: “The project became a federal priority around the turn of the century…” and you think 1900.
See me raising my hand.
Quote for the Day – Agnes Repplier
“It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.” ~~ Agnes Repplier

Quote for the Day – Charles R. Swindol
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
~Charles R. Swindol
