To Write A Symphony Is, For Me,

Don't Bother Looking At The View - I Have Already Composed It.

That Which Draws Us By Its Mystical Force; What Every Created Thing, Even The Very Stones, Feels With Absolute Certainty As The Center Of Its Being... Is The Force Of Love. Christians Call This "eternal Blessedness." It Is A Necessity Of Man For Growth And Joy.

In Bach, The Vital Cells Of Music Are United As The World Is In God.

When I Have Reached A Summit, I Leave It With Great Reluctance, Unless It Is To Reach For Another, Higher One.

It Should Be One’s Sole Endeavor To See Everything Afresh And Create It Anew.
