I Am An Old Man

Parents Shouldn't Lie To Their Children-not Even When They Think It's For Their Own Good. Even A Little Lie Is Dangerous.

I Am A Very Simple Man. I Am A Man First, An Artist Second. My First Obligation Is To The Welfare Of My Fellow Man. I Will Endeavour To Meet This Obligation Through Music, Since It Transcends Language, Politics And National Boundaries.

I Don't Have Hobbies. I Have Passions.

Bach Is The Supreme Genius Of Music... This Man, Who Knows Everything And Feels Everything, Cannot Write One Note, However Unimportant It May Appear, Which Is Anything But Transcendent. He Has Reached The Heart Of Every Noble Thought, And Has Done It In The Most Perfect Way.

To Retire Is The Beginning Of Death.
