I sit down to the piano regularly at nine-o'clock in the morning and Mesdames les Muses have learned to be on time for that rendezvous.

Truly there would be reason to go mad were it not for music.

To regret the past, to hope in the future, and never to be satisfied with the present: that is what I spend my whole life doing

Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy.

The muse doesn't come without being called.

The creative process is like music which takes root with extraordinary force and rapidity

Mozart is the highest, the culminating point that beauty has attained in the sphere of music.
