Quote by Giuseppe Verdi

"One can't always write a good opera, even with a wonderful libretto. Still, it is the librettist who must take the first step."

"People may say I'm not an easy man to work with, but I am a fair man."

"Success is impossible for the lazy."

"Everything possible has already been composed."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
