O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
I don't like composers who think. It gets in the way of their plagiarism.
You don't get anything clean without getting something else dirty.
If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.
The more freedom we enjoy, the greater the responsibility we bear, toward others as well as ourselves.
It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours.
In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
