I Know Of No More

There Is No Loftier Mission Than To Approach The Godhead More Nearly Than Other Mortals, And By Means Of That Contact To Spread The Rays Of The Godhead Through The Human Race.

How Glad I Am To Be Able To Roam In The Wood And Thicket, Among Trees And Flowers And Rocks ... In The Country, Every Tree Seems To Speak To Me, Saying, "holy! Holy", In The Woods, There Is Enchantment Which Expresses All Things.

I Carry My Thoughts About With Me For A Long Time... Before Writing Them Down... Once I Have Grasped A Theme. I Shall Not Forget It Even Years Later. I Change Many Things, Discard Others, And Try Again And Again Until I Am Satisfied; Then, In My Head... [the Work] Rises, It Grows, I Hear And See The Image N Front Of Me From Every Angle... And Only The Labor Of Writing It Down Remains... I Turn My Ideas Into Tones That Resound, Roar, And Rage Until At Last They Stand Before Me In The Form Of Notes.

Nothing Is More Intolerable Than To Have To Admit To Yourself Your Own Errors.

This Is The Mark Of A Really Admirable Man: Steadfastness In The Face Of Trouble.
