Thousands of animals (now billions) are butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. It cries vengeance upon all the human race.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

Skepticism, riddling the faith of yesterday, prepared the way for the faith of tomorrow.

The more a man lives, the more a man creates, the more a man loves and loses those whom he loves, the more does he escape from death. With every new blow that we have to bear, with every new work that we round and finish, we escape from ourselves, we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us.

Everything is music for the born musician.
