I take no pride in my artistic talents; they are God-given and I see absolutely no reason to become puffed up over something that one has received.
Igor StravinskyMy freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit.
Igor Stravinsky
