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

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

The beginning of art is not reason. It is the buried treasure of the unconscious...that unconscious which has more understanding than our lucidity.

I do not write experimental music. My experimenting is done before I make the music. Afterwards it is the listener who must experiment.

Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.

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

Men set themselves a goal, and having attained it, are satisfied and grow paunches. In their complacency they forget that their only future is now death.
