If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

Don't bother looking at the view - I have already composed it.

Behind me the branches of a wasted and sterile existence are cracking.

It's not just a question of conquering a summit previously unknown, but of tracing, step by step, a new pathway to it.

I have become a different person. I don't know whether this person is better, he certainly is not happier.

I hope you will no longer accuse me of a lack of delicacy. as I now count on your understanding.

The call of love sounds very hollow among these immobile rocks.

Even if people censure me, they should do so hat in hand.

I beg of you... never assume an inner or an outer pose, never a disguise.

I also had a brother who was like me a musician and a composer. A man of great talent, far more gifted than I. He died very young... he killed himself in the prime of his life.
