Whatever my passions demand of me, I become for the time being - musician, poet, director, author, lecturer or anything else.

I wish I could score everything for horns.

I hate this fast growing tendency to chain men to machines in big factories and deprive them of all joy in their efforts - the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products.

I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing.

One siupreme fact which I have discovered is that it is not willpower, but fantasy and imagination that ceates. Imagination is the creative force. Imagination creates reality.

Achievements, seldom credited to their source, are the result of unspeakable drudgery and worries.

I write music with an exclamation point!
