Never Forget That Your Days Are Blessed.

Great Art Likes Chains. The Greatest Artists Have Created Art Within Bounds. Or Else They Have Created Their Own Chains.

Without Order There Can Be No Inner Satisfaction. Without Inner Satisfaction There Can Be No Freedom. Without Freedom There Is No Joy.

In Music Everything Is Prolonged, Everything Is Edified, And When The Enchantment Has Ceased, We Are Still Bathed In Its Clarity; Solitude Is Accompanied By A New Hope Between Pity For Ourselves - Which Makes Us More Indulgent And More Understanding - And The Certitude Of Finding Something Again, That Which Lives For Ever In Music.

Do Not Take Up Music Unless You Would Rather Die Than Not Do So.

Do Nothing For Effect. Do It For Truth.
