Gian Carlo Menotti Love Quotations

My advice to composers is, 'Try to reach 90, and everyone will love you.'

It takes a Bobby White to make a tired 90-year-old composer write a song about love.

I know of no better definition of love than the one given by Proust - Love is space and time measured by the heart.

Love is born of faith, lives on hope, and dies of charity.

Love, which, in concert with Abstinence, established Faith, and which, along with Patience, builds up Chastity, is like the columns that sustain the four corners of a house. For it was that same Love which planted a glorious garden redolent with precious herbs and noble flowers-roses and lilies-which breathed forth a wondrous fragrance, that garden on which the true Solomon was accustomed to feast his eyes.
