If I Weren't The Way I Am,

It Is Always The Same With Me; Only When I Experience Something Do I Compose, And Only When Composing Do I Experience! After All, A Musician's Nature Can Hardly Be Expressed In Words.

I Live Like A Hottentot. I Cannot Exchange One Sensible Word With Anyone.

The Real Art Of Conducting Consists In Transitions.

You Must Renounce All Superficiality, All Convention, All Vanity And Delusion.

Discipline, Work. Work, Discipline.
