"Any great work of art … revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world — the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air."

(Leonard Bernstein, nato con il nome di Louis, compositore, pianista, direttore d'orchestra; Lawrence, 25 agosto 1918 – New York, 14 ottobre 1990)
