Music… can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.

Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time… The wait is simply too long.

To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.

a great artist… will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another inevitably.

The measure of its success [of a great work of art] is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world.
