Leonard Bernstein on Mahler :
" His music is so close to y heart. I feel so attuned to it. A melancholy, a nostalgia for childhood, for innocence. The attempt to recover life as it used to be when everything is so protected, so untouched , so fresh.

I love even his weaknesses, and perhaps some of them are my own. "

" Whenever i watch T.V. and see all those starving kids all over the world, i can't help but cry.
