Worldbuilding to me is taking the consequences of an idea.
A great piece of music is beautiful, regardless of how it is performed.
When a man is in despair, it means that he still believes in something.
Real music is always revolutionary, for it cements the ranks of the people; it arouses them and leads them onward.
Music is a means capable of expressing dark dramatism and pure rapture, suffering and ecstasy, fiery and cold fury, melancholy and wild merriment – and the subtlest nuances and interplay of these feelings which words are powerless to express and which are unattainable in painting and sculpture.
If they cut off both hands, I will compose music anyway holding the pen in my teeth.
Every piece of music is a form of personal expression for its creator. . . If a work doesnt express the composers own personal point of view, his own ideas, then it doesnt, in my opinion, even deserve to be born.
To weigh and evaluate a vast grid of information, much of it meaningless, and to arrive at sensible, if erroneous, conclusions, is a skill not to be sneezed at.
I've dealt with many crises in my life, but few will ever happen.
I have given up the ambition to be a great scholar. I want to be more- simply a human. . . . We are not true humans, but beings who live by a civilization inherited from the past, that keeps us hostage, that confines us. No freedom of movement. Nothing. Everything in us is killed by our calculations for our future, by our social position and cast. You see, I am not happy-yet I am happy. I suffer, but that is part of life. I live, I don't care about my existence, and that is the beginning of wisdom.
Your mom is my sunset, and you are my dawn.
