To Write A Symphony Is, For Me,

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

The Longer You Live And The More You Learn, The More Clearly You Will Feel The Difference Between The Few Men Who Are Truly Great And The Mere Virtuosi.

A True Personality . . . Is Like A Robust Organism That, With Unconscious Sureness, Seeks Out And Digests The Nourishment Appropriate To It And Vigorously Rejects That Which Is Unsuitable.

Even If People Censure Me, They Should Do So Hat In Hand.

Melodic Invention Is One Of The Surest Signs Of A Divine Gift.
