„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

„The 20th century has been a badly written drama, from the beginning. The opposite of a Greek drama. Act one: Greed and hypocrisy leading to a genocidal world war, a boom, a crash, totalitarianism. Act two: Greed and hypocrisy leading to a genocidal world war, a boom, a crash, totalitarianism. Act three: Greed and hypocrisy … I don't dare continue.“
— Leonard Bernstein
Leonard Bernstein: The Gift Of Music
„Perhaps the chief requirement of [the conductor] is that he be humble before the composer; that he never interpose himself between the music and the audience; that all his efforts, however strenuous or glamorous, be made in the service of the composer's meaning - the music itself, which, after all, is the whole reason for the conductor's existence.“
— Leonard Bernstein
The Cambridge Companion to Conducting p. 16.
„A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.“
— Leonard Bernstein
