To Retire Is To Begin To Die.

The Truly Important Things In Life - Love, Beauty, And One's Own Uniqueness - Are Constantly Being Overlooked.

For The Past Eighty Years I Have Started Each Day In The Same Manner... I Go To The Piano, And I Play Preludes And Fugues Of Bach... It Is A Sort Of Benediction On The House.

The Simplest Things In Music Are The Ones That Count. The Simplest Thing Are, Of Course, Also The Most Difficult To Achieve And Take Years Of Work.

If You Play Bach Every Day, You Are Not So Alone.

Resist Doing Things That Have No Meaning For Life.
