Music Should Strike Fire From The Heart

Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

Wherever You Are, I Am There Also.

No Friend Have I. I Must Live By Myself Alone; But I Know Well That God Is Nearer To Me Than Others In My Art, So I Will Walk Fearlessly With Him.

I Have Never Thought Of Writing For Reputation And Honor. What I Have In My Heart Must Come Out; That Is The Reason Why I Compose.

Whoever Tells A Lie Is Not Pure Of Heart, And Such A Person Can Not Cook A Clean Soup.
