Not One Sound Fears The Silence That

The White Paintings Came First; My Silent Piece Came Later.

A Sound Does Not View Itself As Thought, As Ought, As Needing Another Sound For Its Elucidation, As Etc.; It Has Not Time For Any Consideration--it Is Occupied With The Performance Of Its Characteristics: Before It Has Died Away It Must Have Made Perfectly Exact Its Frequency, Its Loudness, Its Length, Its Overtone Structure, The Precise Morphology Of These And Of Itself.

If My Work Is Accepted, I Must Move On To The Point Where It Is Not.

Some People Take Music Too Seriously, And Some Don't Take It Seriously Enough, Others Take It Just Right.

People Who Aren't Artists Often Feel That Artists Are Inspired. But If You Work At Your Art You Don't Have Time To Be Inspired.
