"It's not evil that's ruining the earth, but mediocrity. The crime is not that Nero played while Rome burned, but that he played badly."

"Non è il male che pervade la terra, ma la mediocrità. Il crimine non è che Nerone suonava la lira mentre Roma bruciava, ma il fatto che la suonasse male."

Ned Rorem (compositore)
