A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.

All music is nothing more than a succession of impulses that converge towards a definite point of repose.

What I cannot follow are the manic-depressive fluctuations from total control to no control, from the serialization of all elements to chance.

I live neither in the past nor in the future. I am in the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity.

What force is more potent than love?

Music is...the coordination between man and time.

To continue in one path is to go backward.
