I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.
Luciano PavarottiRead
Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Understanding music theoretically is not as effective as practical experience.
Luciano Pavarotti's quote emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience in learning music, suggesting that reading and theory alone cannot replicate the passion and intimacy of actually engaging with music. Just as making love requires personal interaction, music requires practice and emotional connection to truly grasp its essence.

From the boys' point of view, scouting puts them into fraternity-gangs, which is their natural organisation, whether for games, mischief, or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipments; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active, open-air life.
