Companions, In Misery And Worse,

The Supreme Harmony Of The Cosmos Is Selected In The Harmony Of The Spirit.

We Need Improvement In The Style Of Performance. There Is No More Advantage In A Musician Who Plays And Conducts Than In One Who Is Only A Beater Of Rhythm.

I Conclude That The Wagnerian Operas Which Are Already In The Repertoire, And Other Masterworks As Well, Stand In No Further Need Of My Services.

My Sole Ambition As A Composer Is To Hurl My Javelin Into The Infinite Space Of The Future.

Mournful And Yet Grand Is The Destiny Of The Artist.
