I am thrice homeless, as a native of Bohemia in Austria, as an Austrian among Germans, and as a Jew throughout the world. Everywhere an intruder, never welcomed.
God can only be comprehended as Love.
To write a symphony is, for me, to construct a world.
What is best in music is not to be found in the notes.
All that is not perfect down to the smallest detail is doomed to perish.
Even if people censure me, they should do so hat in hand.
