If there are no gods,All our toil is without meaning.

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!

"The voice is certainly important and you can hear if it's beautiful or not, it's the gods who decide; it's more a question of what you do with the voice, which is the mysterious element. It's the personality behind the voice which makes the artist. The voice is a gift of God, but if you're not able to use this gift, what's left? Nothing but a beautiful voice, without nuance or colour."

Either Zeus came to earth to shew his form to thee, Phidias, or thou to heaven hast gone the god to see.

Ask the gods nothing excessive.

Who can foretell for what high cause / This darling of the Gods was born?
