I am always thirsting for beautiful, beautiful, beautiful music. I wish I could make it. Perhaps there isn't any music on earth like what I picture to myself.

Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other, because they don't see it - but there is.

A child sees everything, looks straight at it, examines it, without any preconceived idea.

Everything has two sides - the outside that is ridiculous, and the inside that is solemn.

I know there will be spring, as surely as the birds know it when they see above the snow two tiny, quivering green leaves. Spring cannot fail us.

genius has no limit of sex or race.

There are only two things that are absolute realities, love and knowledge, and you can't escape them.
