Value Judgments Are Destructive To

Composing For The Prepared Piano Is Not A Criticism Of The Instrument. I'm Only Being Practical.

Our Intention Is To Affirm This Life, Not To Bring Order Out Of Chaos, Nor To Suggest Improvements In Creation, But Simply To Wake Up To The Very Life We're Living, Which Is So Excellent Once One Gets One's Mind And Desires Out Of Its Way And Lets It Act Of It's Own Accord.

What I'm Proposing, To Myself And Other People, Is What I Often Call The Tourist Attitude - That You Act As Though You've Never Been There Before. So That You're Not Supposed To Know Anything About It. If You Really Get Down To Brass Tacks, We Have Never Been Anywhere Before.

Be Happy Whenever You Can Manage It. Enjoy Yourself. It's Lighter Than You Think.

If Someone Says Can't, That Shows You What To Do.
