Don't bother looking at the view - I have already composed it.

Discipline, work. Work, discipline.

Tradition is laziness.

I don't let myself get carried away by my own ideas; I abandon 19 out of 20 of them every day.

A symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.

I have become a different person. I don't know whether this person is better, he certainly is not happier.

Don't bother to look, I've composed all this already.
