Favorite Konigsberg Quotes

1. "Sometimes my mother did practice but one thing led to another and sometimes she did not. The advice of the homely man was something of a curse. She would not practice at all if she could not practice right so that gradually she played less and less and sometimes not at all.I used to think that things might have been different. Gieseking never played a scale and Glenn Gould hardly practiced at all, they would just look at the score and think and think and think. If the homely man had said to go away and think this would have been every bit as revolutionary a concept for a Konigsberg. Perhaps he even thought that you had to think. But you can't show someone how to think in an hour; you can give someone an exercise to take away."

2. "In her excitement at the idea of just walking out the door she had walked out the door without stopping to practice and without even her sheet music, and now she had nothing to play from and nothing prepared.Some people might have been daunted by this setback. The Konigsbergs faced musical catastrophe on a daily basis, & their motto was: Never say die."

Does it scare you?" said Clare. "Living in a house with guns?"Hunter smiled. "It's not like I wake up in the middle of the night to find them staring down at me.""Shut up." She gave him a light shove. "No, I mean, are you ever worried you'll accidentally get shot?""You mean, when I catch the assault rifle raiding the refrigerator? Like maybe it'll turn on me?"Her breath caught again. "You have an assault rifle in your house?""Sure. It's partial to lime Jell-O."
