Music Is The Heart Of Life." She

Life Is Only A Long And Bitter Suicide, And Faith Alone Can Transform This Suicide Into A Sacrifice.

You Cannot Imagine How It Spoils One To Have Been A Child Prodigy.

I Did Not Compose My Work As One Might Put On A Church Vestment... Rather It Sprung From The Truly Fervent Faith Of My Heart, Such As I Have Felt It Since My Childhood.

So Let Us Not Worry, And Look Instead As It Has Been Taught Us To Do, As The Birds Of The Air And The Lilies Of The Field, Keeping Complete Faith In Our Father's Goodness.

Music Is Never Stationary; Successive Forms And Styles Are Only Like So Many Resting-places - Like Tents Pitched And Taken Down Again On The Road To The Ideal.
