Is it not by love alone that we succeed in penetrating to the very essence of being?
From Igor Stravinsky
The real composer thinks about his work the whole time; he is not always conscious of this, but he is aware of it later when he suddenly knows what he will do.
I am an inventor of music.
The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead.
In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?
I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
