Ernst Bacon quotes:

Dancing is the body made poetic.

A teacher's hardest lesson is to limit his explanation to the minimum.

I would rather instill in my amateur students love, than knowledge, of music. Left with only knowledge, they will at the end close their books and consign the course to forgetfulness. But if they have learned to love but the smallest part of the art, they are likely to pursue some phase of it the rest of their lives.

A man in music, as one in love, either lives it or talks about it; seldom both.

The Artist should not forget his mission, perhaps the most religious of all, of sustaining faith in the worthwhileness of art and thus of life.
