I Am An Old Man But In

The Miracle Of Bach Has Not Appeared In Any Other Art. To Strip Human Nature Until Its Divine Attributes Are Made Clear, To Inform Ordinary Activities With Spiritual Fervour, To Give Wings Of Eternity To That Which Is Most Ephemeral; To Make Divine Things Human And Human Things Divine; Such Is Bach, The Greatest And Purest Moment In Music Of All Time.

The Truly Important Things In Life - Love, Beauty, And One's Own Uniqueness - Are Constantly Being Overlooked.

The Cello Is Like A Beautiful Woman Who Has Not Grown Older, But Younger With Time, More Slender, More Supple, More Graceful.

Real Understanding Does Not Come From What We Learn In Books; It Comes From What We Learn From Love Of Nature, Of Music, Of Man. For Only What Is Learned In That Way Is Truly Understood.

I See In The Melody Of Nature, God. It Is A Wonderful Work Of Art. The Spirit Of The Art Is Wonderful. And I Feel That I Am Myself Because I Have Never Taken Music Lightly. Music Is The Manifestation Of God, Like Everything Else.
