Real friends are very special, but you have to be careful because sometimes you have a friend and you think they are made of rock, then suddenly you realise they’re only made of sand.

Maria Callas

I would not kill my enemies, but I will make them get down on their knees. I will, I can, I must.
MARIA CALLAS

Enemy Kill Myself
I was always too mature for my age – and not very happy. I had no young friends. I wish I could go back to those days. If I could only live it all again, how I would play and enjoy other girls. What a fool I was.

Don’t come to me with your troubles. I have to work for my money and you are young enough to work too. If you can’t make enough money to live on you can jump out of the window or drown yourself.

You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear, even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there.

Betrayal Dog Myself
I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully – through me, a little – the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

When I did not become enemies, then I understand that there was nothing standing.

When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point.

It’s a terrible thing to go through life thinking that you have a rock on your side when you haven’t.

Some say I have a beautiful voice, some say I have not. It is a matter of opinion. All I can say, those who don’t like it shouldn’t come to hear me.
