I Beg Of You... Never Assume An

I Was A Crazy Young Man Who Let Himself Be Blinded By His Passions And Obeyed Only The Impulses Of The Moment.

The Point Is Not To Take The World's Opinion As A Guiding Star But To Go One's Way In Life And Working Unerringly, Neither Depressed By Failure Nor Seduced By Applause.

I Beg Of You... Never Assume An Inner Or An Outer Pose, Never A Disguise.

It Is Strange How One Feels Drawn Forward Without Knowing At First Where One Is Going.

To Judge A Composer's Work, One Must Consider It As A Whole.
