I rather like a certain clumsiness in a work of art.

In every domain of art, a work that corresponds to the need of its day carries a message of social and cultural value. It is the artist who crystallizes his age ... who fixes his time in history.

A man is culpable in the eyes of society when he escapes from the jurisdiction of its mediocrity.

Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.

Music is the most abstract of the arts and also the most physical....music is under two signs, the stars and the wine

I don't want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music.

There is an idea, the basis of an internal structure, expanded and split into different shapes or groups of sound constantly changing in shape, direction, and speed, attracted and repulsed by various forces.
