To Judge A Composer's Work,

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

To Write A Symphony Is, For Me, To Construct A World.

Life's Been Nothing But Paperwork.

We All Return. It Is This Certainty That Gives Meaning To Life And It Does Not Make The Slightest Difference Whether Or Not In A Later Incarnation We Remember The Former Life. What Counts Is Not The Individual And His Comfort, But The Great Aspiration To The Perfect And The Pure Which Goes On In Each Incarnation.

Tradition Is Tending The Flame, Not Worshiping The Ashes.
