There is music wherever there is rhythm, as there is life wherever there beats a pulse.
Igor StravinskyMy God, so much I like to drink Scotch that sometimes I think my name is Igor Stra-whiskey.
Igor StravinskyI was...attacked for being a pasticheur, chided for composing "simple" music, blamed for deserting "modernism," accused of renouncing my "true Russian heritage." People who had never heard of, or cared about, the originals cried "sacrilege": "The classics are ours. Leave the classics alone." To them all my answer was and is the same: You "respect," but I love.
