Music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time.

Sins cannot be undone, only forgiven.

We can neither put back the clock nor slow down our forward speed, and as we are already flying pilotless, on instrument controls, it is even too late to ask where we are going.

The trick is to compose what one wants to compose and to get it commissioned afterward.

The real composer thinks about his work the whole time; he is not always conscious of this, but he is aware of it later when he suddenly knows what he will do.
