Art Is Not Emotion. Art

Words Created Divergencies Between Beings, Because Their Precise Meanings Put An Opinion Around The Idea. Music Only Retains The Highest And Purest Substance Of The Idea, Since It Has The Privilege Of Expressing All, Whilst Excluding Nothing.

Everything We Know By Heart Enriches Us And Helps Us Find Ourselves. If It Should Get In The Way Of Finding Ourselves, It Is Because We Have No Personality.

It Is One Thing To Be Gifted And Quite Another Thing To Be Worthy Of One's Own Gift.
