This world is not a platform where you will hear Thalberg-piano-playing. It is a piano manufactory, where are dust and shavings and boards, and saws and files and rasps and sandpapers. The perfect instrument and the music will be hereafter.
Henry Ward BeecherWhen a man says that he is perfect already, there is only one of two places for him, and that is heaven or the lunatic asylum.
