It Is Always The Same With Me;

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.

What I Wanted And What I Visualized While Composing Has Not Always Been Realized.

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

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

We All Return. It Is This Certainty That Gives Meaning To Life And It Does Not Make The Slightest Difference Whether Or Not In A Later Incarnation We Remember The Former Life. What Counts Is Not The Individual And His Comfort, But The Great Aspiration To The Perfect And The Pure Which Goes On In Each Incarnation.
