Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

The absence of limitations is the enemy of art.

Every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore.

Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

We're not trying to change the world; just music.

And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking.

The true art of memory is the art of attention.

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Music is mediator between spiritual and sensual life.

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland.

And, in the end The love you take is equal to the love you make.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
