Sins cannot be undone, only forgiven.

Music is given to us specifically to make order of things, to move from an anarchic, individualistic state to a regulated, perfectly concious one, which alone insures vitality and durability.

The more controlled, limited and tormented art is, the freer it is.

I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.

I know that the twelve notes in each octave and the variety of rhythm offer me opportunities that all of human genius will never exhaust.

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

Music must be listened to; it is not enough to hear it. A duck hears also.
