I Am In The World Only For

I Am In The World Only For The Purpose Of Composing.

I Never Force Myself To Be Devout Except When I Feel So Inspired, And Never Compose Hymns Of Prayers Unless I Feel Within Me Real And True Devotion.

There Is No Such Thing As Happy Music.

Nobody Understands Another's Sorrow, And Nobody Another's Joy.

When I Wished To Sing Of Love, It Turned To Sorrow. And When I Wished To Sing Of Sorrow, It Was Transformed For Me Into Love.
