Figured Bass (Harmony) and Religion are self-contained things, one should not argue these.
I love a tree more than a man.
I can live only wholly with you or not at all.
I know no other sign of superiority than Goodness.
Strange, I feel as if up to now I had written no more than a few notes.
I carry my thoughts about me for a long time, often a very long time, before I write them down; meanwhile my memory is so faithful that I am sure never to forget, not even in years, a theme that has once occurred to me.
