I Don't Have Hobbies. I Have Passions.

Bach Is The Supreme Genius Of Music... This Man, Who Knows Everything And Feels Everything, Cannot Write One Note, However Unimportant It May Appear, Which Is Anything But Transcendent. He Has Reached The Heart Of Every Noble Thought, And Has Done It In The Most Perfect Way.

The Most Important Thing In Music Is What Is Not In The Notes.

Yes, It Is True. I Am A Miracle. I Am A Miracle Like A Tree Is A Miracle, Like A Flower Is A Miracle. Now, If I Am A Miracle, Can I Do A Bad Thing? I Can't, Because I Am A Miracle, I Am A Miracle. . . .

I Am A Very Simple Man. I Am A Man First, An Artist Second. My First Obligation Is To The Welfare Of My Fellow Man. I Will Endeavour To Meet This Obligation Through Music, Since It Transcends Language, Politics And National Boundaries.

To Retire Is To Begin To Die.
