To Judge A Composer's Work, One Must

Tradition Is Laziness.

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

Don't Bother To Look, I've Composed All This Already.

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

I Was A Crazy Young Man Who Let Himself Be Blinded By His Passions And Obeyed Only The Impulses Of The Moment.
