If True Computer Music Were Ever Written,

Praise Not The Day Until Evening Has Come, A Woman Until She Is Burnt, A Sword Until It Is Tried, A Maiden Until She Is Married, Ice Until It Has Been Crossed, Beer Until It Has Been Drunk.

Whatever It Is You Seek, You Have To Put In The Time, The Practice, The Effort. You Must Give Up A Lot To Get It. It Has To Be Very Important To You. And Once You Have Attained It, It Is Your Power. It Can't Be Given Away : It Resides In You. It Is Literally The Result Of Your Discipline.

Cure The Symptoms, Cure The Disease.

And That's How Things Are. A Day Is Like A Whole Life. You Start Out Doing One Thing, But End Up Doing Something Else, Plan To Run An Errand, But Never Get There. . . . And At The End Of Your Life, Your Whole Existence Has The Same Haphazard Quality, Too. Your Whole Life Has The Same Shape As A Single Day.

To Apply General Tools To Specific Problems Is To Fail.
