Don't Regard Yourself As Too Divine To

The Vibrations On The Air Are The Breath Of God Speaking To Man's Soul. Music Is The Language Of God. We Musicians Are As Close To God As Man Can Be. We Hear His Voice, We Read His Lips, We Give Birth To The Children Of God, Who Sing His Praise. That's What Musicians Are.

Only The Flint Of A Man's Mind Can Strike Fire In Music.

If I Contemplate Myself As Part Of The Universe: What Am I?

I Haven't A Single Friend; I Must Live Alone. But Well I Know That God Is Nearer To Me Than To The Others Of My Art; I Associate With Him Without Fear, I Have Always Recognized And Understood Him, And I Have No Fear For My Music,-it Can Meet No Evil Fate. Those Who Understand It Must Become Free From All The Miseries That The Others Drag With Them.

I Have Always Reckoned Myself Among The Greatest Admirers Of Mozart, And Shall Do So Till The Day Of My Death.
