What Makes Us Feel Drawn To Music

If There Is Such A Thing As Saintly Renunciation, It Is Renouncing Small Gains For Better Gains; Not For No Gains, But Seeing With Open Eyes What Is Better And What Is Inferior. Even If The Choice Has To Lie Between Two Momentary Gains, One Of These Would Always Be Found To Be More Real And Lasting; That Is The One That Should Be Followed For The Time.

You Must Not Depend Upon My Words.
