Destiny Smiles Upon Me But

If I Weren't The Way I Am, I Shouldn't Write My Symphonies.

The Point Is Not To Take The World's Opinion As A Guiding Star But To Go One's Way In Life And Working Unerringly, Neither Depressed By Failure Nor Seduced By Applause.

I Have Become A Different Person. I Don't Know Whether This Person Is Better, He Certainly Is Not Happier.

Tradition Is Laziness.

Tradition Is Not The Worship Of Ashes, But The Preservation Of Fire.
