The Journey of Self-Discovery in Art
Anton Bosnyak:
The word teach means to make known'. When you came to me, you didn't know what you were, who you were, nothing. Together, we made your voice known to you; and we made it known to you by making yourself known to you. The sounds of loving that you make, your sounds of endurance, your betrayals...
Zoe Alexander:
You think I betrayed you?
Anton Bosnyak:
It doesn't matter! Together we were able to release what you are. The work of every artist is to make themselves wholly known. Now, I want you to go away, and amaze me.
Zoe Alexander:
I need you!
Anton Bosnyak:
No. You are intact now. Go away, and leave me intact. Please.
Zoe Alexander:
So... you're sending me away. It's all I was to you? Something, something "amazing", huh?
Anton Bosnyak:
That is all that matters.

Well, you've worked harder than I have.

Debating Talent and Payments in Lessons
Anton Bosnyak:
Quite a little snot nose, that girl, always answering back.
Eve Swiss:
When I took lessons from you, you never used to let me say boo!
Anton Bosnyak:
You had no talent. That always irritates me.
Eve Swiss:
So why did you keep taking my money, then?
Anton Bosnyak:
Somebody had to prove to you that you could not sing.
