Then Let Us All Do What Is

There Is No Loftier Mission Than To Approach The Divinity Nearer Than Other Men, And To Disseminate The Divine Rays Among Mankind.

When I Open My Eyes I Must Sigh, For What I See Is Contrary To My Religion, And I Must Despise The World Which Does Not Know That Music Is A Higher Revelation Than All Wisdom And Philosophy.

One Must Not Hold One's Self So Divine As To Be Unwilling Occasionally To Make Improvements In One's Creations.

I Wish You Music To Help With The Burdens Of Life ,and To Help You Release Your Happiness To Others.

I Carry My Thoughts About Me For A Long Time, Often A Very Long Time, Before I Write Them Down; Meanwhile My Memory Is So Faithful That I Am Sure Never To Forget, Not Even In Years, A Theme That Has Once Occurred To Me.
