As long as I draw breath and am able, I won't give up practicing philosophy.
Even in reaching for the beautiful there is beauty, and also in suffering whatever it is that one suffers en route.
No human thing is of serious importance.
Music gives a soul to the universe.
Man's music is seen as a means of restoring the soul, as well as confused and discordant bodily afflictions, to the harmonic proportions that it shares with the world soul of the cosmos.
Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
